Hey all,
This is my first post so hopefully I'm doing everything right!  :)
I have memorised several quotes from "I for Isobel" however often find it difficult to embed them within essays. I typically write something along the lines of: Isobel beings to realise that her mother finds an outlet in tormenting her, this is shown in the text when May Callaghan says...
I find this disrupts the flow of my essays and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice or examples of how to embed quotes better.
Thank you! ;D

When embedding quotes, I try to think of them as synonyms of sorts for what I'm trying to say. For example, instead of saying "ryaneverestsucks finds it difficult to embed quotes within his essays, as evident in when he says...", I could say: "ryaneverestsucks expresses his "diffcult[y]" with "embed[ing]" quotes "within...essays"." You don't necessarily have to do it this way though; the example you've provided is another way you could go about it, but I would rearrange your sentence structure to make it flow better. A different version could be: "May Callaghan's assertion that "...." signposts the beginning of Isobel's realisation that her mother finds an outlet in tormenting her."

With regard to examples, I could only find one I for Isobel essay posted on the forums, located here, but if you're looking for more general embeding quotes stuff, there's loads of high scoring sample essays here

Hope that helps.  ;D ;D
