"Each verb has its own nuance. Make sure that the nuance matches your specific aims in introducing the quotation.
There are other ways to begin quotations. Here are three common phrasings:
In the words of X, . . .
According to X, . . .
In X's view, . . .
Vary the way you introduce quotations to avoid sounding monotonous. But never sacrifice precision of phrasing for the sake of variety.

Framing Class, Vicarious Living, and Conspicuous Consumption (P.334)

In this article Dianna Kendall talks about the portrayals of life in different social classes of what is real and what is not real. She starts off by talking about the one of many examples that demonstrate how class is played for laughs by the media in the tv show the simple life..... A well watched show staring two well-known rich heiresses( Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton) trying to make a living in the not so glamerous life by living with the less fortunate. We see how they live ,and what they wear by watching all these reality show.We believe that we need all the high end fashion and glamerous cars, houses and shoes. This lifestyle of the poor & unfamous is puttin many in debt! People think we need to live a certain way by what the media shows us. On page 342 Kendall talks about what percentage of the nations wealth.. aaaand a whoppin 90% of households only own 28% of the nations wealth! That would be most of us :/ ugh,That's crap... Do the rich just get weathier and the poor stay poor? Is it crap how some people work their butt off to try and make all dem money & some are just born into wealth. Will this change? Or will we just finally relize that we are not in the class of the rich & famous and buy things within our means?

Serving In FLO-Rida (p.294)

Soo this This Was A funny article to read, Ehrenriech's experiment was to find out how one lives off two crumby jobs makin minamin wage. An eye opener, especially for me since it related to my life. I am a server at THE ROADHOUSE making $2.13 an hour (- all taxes) Pretty much just living off tips can be extremely rough and wont get me far for sure!! So yes, i have picked up a second job buut determined not to drop out of school & and become very successful. (unless i become FAMOUS)! :) haha joke buuut this was really funny to read because every restaurant seems to be the same in a way. We to put up with a "BJ" , the mean one who bosses everyone around. The boss who always thinks they can push everyone around with out helping out...etc. It made me laugh at some of the people she described walking into Jerry's, we get alot of wwjd peeps passin out "you can b saved" cards, and i always feel like wow do i seem like a devil child or what? I also can totally relate to the smelly bra that smells like steak and fried cactus blossom by the end of every shift. Sooo, its this life we want? Living day by day in routine working two jobs getting triple sat by yelling, hungry customers everyday finding every reason to complain? Man, I love serving and it's a good flexible job while I'm single going to school and don't have a family to pay for, but I definitely do not want to do this for the rest of my life! nor did Enrenriech as she found out by walking out and quiting by the end of the story. So before we decide we are too broke for school rethink that and remember to never give up, it will all be worth it in the end.

Do to the fact I dont ever use Hyphens... this ones for Chelsi

Hyphens eh? I don't think I ever use these when writing papers? Soo I looked up How & where do use the little guys & this is what i found.

Rule 1.
To check whether a compound noun is two words, one word, or hyphenated, you may need to look it up in the dictionary. If you can't find the word in the dictionary, treat the noun as separate words.
Examples:
eyewitness, eye shadow, eye-opener
Rule 2.
Phrases that have verb, noun, and adjective forms should appear as separate words when used as verbs and as one word when used as nouns or adjectives.
That Superfund site will require specialized cleanup procedures. (adjective)
Rule 3.
Compound verbs are either hyphenated or appear as one word. If you do not find the verb in the dictionary, hyphenate it.
Examples:
To air-condition the house will be costly.
We were notified that management will downsize the organization next year.
Rule 4.
Generally, hyphenate between two or more adjectives when they come before a noun and act as a single idea.
Examples:
friendly-looking man (compound adjective in front of a noun)
friendly little girl (not a compound adjective)
brightly lit room (Brightly is an adverb describing lit, not an adjective.)
Rule 5.
When adverbs not ending in -ly are used as compound words in front of a noun, hyphenate. When the combination of words is used after the noun, do not hyphenate.
Examples:
The well-known actress accepted her award.
Well is an adverb followed by another descriptive word. They combine to form one idea in front of the noun.
The actress who accepted her award was well known.Well known follows the noun it describes, so no hyphen is used.
A long-anticipated decision was finally made.
He got a much-needed haircut yesterday.
His haircut was much needed.
Rule 6.
Remember to use a comma, not a hyphen, between two adjectives when you could have used and between them.
Examples:
I have important, classified documents.
Jennifer received a lovely, fragrant bouquet on Valentine's Day.
Rule 7.
Hyphenate all compound numbers from twenty-one through ninety-nine.
Examples:
The teacher had thirty-two children in her classroom.
Only twenty-one of the children were bilingual.
Rule 8.
Hyphenate all spelled-out fractions.
Examples:
You need one-third of a cup of sugar for that recipe.
More than one-half of the student body voted for removing soda machines from campus.

Now watch out I might use these too often! haha

blah blah blah tell me What it is, NOT What Yooou think it is.....

I thought the article "The roots of debate in Education and the Hope of Dialogue" by Deborah Tannan was very interesting. Tannan talked alot about how women didn't respond as much as men did in thier college classes. (3WOMAN to 8MEN! Come on girls.. we need to speak up!?) This surprised me, I thought woman always threw their two cents about everything, expecialy when a controversial agrgument approached her? I know I do. I agree 100% with Tannan that i don't care what the other person is saying or if the other person has the right answer, I LOVE to argue to prove , that "IM RIGHT"! We tend to ignore our opponents facts and only focus on what we're trying to get out and pursue the other person that YOU are right. Tannan says, students are taught that they must disprove other's arguments in order to be original & to keep their independence. True. Is that what we are soposed to do? If So, how do we catch the attention and pursue? Well in this article she talks about different ways of debate in college. They use poetry by pursueing by emotion, but it was said "to be unfair persuasive tactics". What about Learning by fighting?... Does arguing your point in an yelling match get us anywhere? I don't think so, if anything it makes people even more mad to stop listening to what the other person even says and just throw out your crazy opinions louder and more FALSE. So how does Tannan suggest we move beyond this argumental culture?.... She quotes, "Most theories are wrong not in what they assert but what they deny." We need to be open to others opinions. Read as if we believed! Open our mind, widen our view of debate. We DON"T have to make others wrong to prove that were right....
I think debate is a great... everyone has a different oppion ad some the same, but instead of trying to win a debate match we do need to use our imaginations, speak up ladies, ask questions if we dont get something, listen more to others oppions and maybe we'll get the Answer....
