Using Quotes

According to Jean Kilbourne's TED Talk, called "The Dangerous Ways Ads See Women," she argues that “...The body language of girls is usually passive, vulnerable, and very different from the body language of boys and men.  Women are often shown in very silly poses, whereas men are generally afforded dignity and strength, even as children” (Kilbourne). Kilbourne's message is crucial due to the fact that showing women as vulnerable and passive can have negative impacts on women in the real world.

(Parenthetical Citation)

  • Authors last name

  • Can use "... " to show that there is more to the quote
  • If quote inside of quote use ' ' 
  • Period does not go inside " " goes after citation
  • quote can't be larger then 3 line, must block (tab 2 times)
  • block quote still needs citations, but no " "
(Kilbourne)

Quote #2
In Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s TED talk, “The Danger of a Single Story” say says “The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story” (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: The Danger of a Single Story). Stereotyping women can have negative impacts on their self esteem, but if we start to normalize stereotypes it could actually put women in danger.
