Book Reports / Fences and Death of a Salesman Essay Pleae help me revise and edit this. [3]
You may or may not agree with me, but I'll point this out anyway.
Quote:
"...I'll show you all the towns...And they know me, boys, they know me up and down New England...I have friends. I can park my car in any street in New England, and the cops protect it like their own" (Miller 31). This quote is significant because Willy tries to persuade his sons into becoming like him by telling him about his life experiences.
I think it is a bad idea using this phrase. What it is telling me is that you do not really understand what this quote is saying and you just quote the whole lot and expect me to figure out, or you are not competent enough to integrate the quote with the idea that you want to express.
Instead try to do something like Willy tries to persuade his sons into becoming like him by "[showing] them all the towns" and ...
Yea, you see, this quote don't flow smoothly. So just take it out altogether and rephrase it. You don't need many quotes to impress the reader. Like you have pointed out, it is the flow.
Once again, I may not be right. Think about it yourself.
Good luck!
