D. Analysis
DIRECT QUOTATIONS
Only the actual words of a person or character can be used in a direct quotation.
If the words presented are only an approximation of what a person actually said or
thought the result is an indirect quotation.
An indirect quotation reports only the general meaning of what a person said or thought
and does not require quotation marks.
EXAMPLES: She announced that she had won the spelling bee at school today.
He thought that she was just kidding since she was a terrible speller.
Direct quotations can be entire sentences or they can be just words or phrases.
EXAMPLES: Rachel Carson, the well-known author of books about nature, once wrote,
The sea lies all around us. The commerce of all lands must cross it.
The commerce of all lands makes use, in one way or another, of the
worldwide network of seas according to Rachel Carson.
