Is summarizing is a useful alternative to quoting?

English

lyudmila [28]3 years ago

There are some differences betwee summarizing and quoting. Summarizing: doesn't match the source word for word, presents a broad overview, so is usually much shorter than the original text, involves putting the main idea/ideas into your own words, but including only the  main point, must be attributed to the original source. Quoting: match the source word for word, must be attributed to the original source, appear between quotation marks, are usually a brief segment of the text. So, as for me, summarizing is not really useful alternative to quoting.

What does Shames mean when he says, “open space generated not just ambition, but metaphor” (para 12)?
Maru [420]

This is a line in Laurence Shames’ “The More Factor.” In this essay, Shames argues that Americans have always valued the idea of having “more”. He states that this was intrinsic to the development of the nation during the years of the Wild West. People wanted more land, more riches, and were prepared to sacrifice everything in order to obtain it. He also argues that this desire for “more” has meant that Americans have forgotten about other values, concentrating on quantity instead of quality.

Shames also argues that the idea of “open space,” of unlimited land that could be grabbed, generated ambition, but it also generated a metaphor. That is, a metaphor of unlimited potential and growth. This metaphor is still associated with the idea of “conquering frontiers.” However, he argues that as hopes of growth are now put on the economy, we have to realize that growth is finite, and that we need to reexamine our values and future goals for the country.

 What specific information do you find when looking up a word in a basic dictionary?
ruslelena [56]

<span>When you look up a word in a basic dictionary, there is quite a bit of information you’ll find.  Of course, you’ll find the definition of the word.  If the word, however, has more than one meaning, all meanings will be presented in the entry.  The word will be spaced out into syllables.  You’ll see the phonetic pronunciation of the word.  For instance, if you look up the word, “happy,” you’ll see “hap-ee.”  In addition, some dictionaries will also present a word’s language origin (such as Latin or French) as well as the part of speech such as whether the word is a noun, verb, adjective, etc. </span>
