Breaking down language/evaluating a quote:
1. Summarize the author/quote's major premise
2. Cite the language, its examples, that show where you got their premise
3. Then focus on the the following:
- Comment on the validity/soundness of overall logic of premise (or lack thereof)
- Indicate which phrases/words are most important, and comment on how the author has used them

Use pages 290-296 for internet sources (such as your own primary source for the 5 to 7 page research essay).
