Integrating Quotations Explanation No. 2

I wrote this as an email to a student.

In case it helps anyone, I will post it here too.

Read this website again for the format of integrating quotations.

Outside quotations are used in the body paragraphs, generally somewhere in the middle, to help support the main point of the essay.

Let's say (just as an example)...I am discussing in one body paragraph the realistic effects found in the Resident Evil movie. I can take a quote from this article on Variety written by Scott Foundas.

http://variety.com/2002/more/reviews/resident-evil-1200550909/

" ... relies more on prosthetic makeup and animatronic f/x than on digital technology, giving pic’s zombies and other assorted monsters a more organic sense of form and movement."

Now, here is my body paragraph in blue...
Contrary to what some believe, the movie Resident Evil does offer some nice special effects which make the film a more realistic experience than the video game.

I just need to add the part from the article, which I highlighted in purple, and weave it into my paragraph

Contrary to what some believe, the movie Resident Evil does offer some nice special effects which make the film a more realistic experience than the video game. For example, in one old Variety article from 2002, the reviewer wrote that Resident Evil " ... relies more on prosthetic makeup and animatronic f/x than on digital technology, giving pic’s zombies and other assorted monsters a more organic sense of form and movement" (Foundas).

I also should explain the quote afterwards. I want to add this line below in gray...which are my own words...

Therefore, the movie gives a sense of realism that some viewers may not expect because the producers do not rely solely on computer graphics.

I'm going to add it as the explanation.

In the body paragraphs, lead into any outside quotes with your own words.

Then, insert the quote by weaving into another sentence.

Then after the quote is inserted, explain and analyze.
