The chapter I chose to look at for blog #13 is chapter 3 and its called “As He Himself Puts It” The Art of Quoting. In this chapter it helps you introduce and exit quotes. By that I mean it shows us how to add depth to choosing a quote. This chapter helps us simplify the way quotes are used in papers or any other text. In the current paper that we are writing I struggle with introducing my quotes which is why this is the perfect chapter for me to look at.

Before: Famous writer and journalist, John Lehrer expresses his feelings about science and art in “Is Future of Science… Is Art?”. In this piece of text he believes we could be using arts to further the sciences. He writes “Bringing our two cultures will allow us to judge our knowledge not by its origins, but in terms of its usefulness.” Here Lehrer shows that bring science and art together will only bring positive outcomes, that it will give us knowledge that we didn’t think we could obtain. Why fight something that can improve the way we as humans live today? Why not have greater knowledge and succeed in conquering new worlds we didn’t even know existed?
