"The Art of Ouoting" summary

In the article "The Art of Quoting" Graff (2011) states that to "launch an effective argument you need to write the arguments of others into your text"(p.42),which means that it gives your text the best credibility when you are not only summarizing the arguments of others, but also quote them. In this process there are problems within because how the author points out "some writers quote too little"(p.42) and "at the other extreme are writers who overquote"(p.42). How you can see there are many issues writers have to take care of when they are trying to quote and support their own arguments.
