In this reading I learned the proper time to use quotes and what to do when you are going to use a quote. Before you use a quote you must bring up information and then introduce the quote so that it flows in your paper. This reading explains how if you do not do this then sometimes the quote will be very awkward and not appeal to the reader. One must make sure that they are just not throwing a quote for the sake of having a quote in their paper, but to actually make sure that the quote and the placement of the the quote makes sense. The book has many different analogies on how awkward quotes can relate to many awkward things that happen in everyday life.
This text showed me how us as readers perceive a certain font or text and how it can influence our mood and how we feel about a certain reading. It also showed me how elaborate texts can draw us into something such as a poster or a title page of a book. Also how very bland fonts do not appeal to many readers as they might think of it as boring and plain. This gives me a lot to think about as project three comes closer. It makes me think of the reader and what type of fonts might draw them into my website, social media page, etc. This text was very helpful for this type of assignment.
Juan, I would agree that the article was extremely helpful in giving insight on how to properly use citations especially with the final draft for our research paper being due so soon. I thought that the part you mentioned that suggested introducing your source before quoting theme was very helpful as well.
