The details from the novel can be direct quotes, summaries, or paraphrased points. A direct quote is a word-for-word repetition of the author’s words from a source, using quotation marks. Quotations should be blended into your own sentences. A summary is a brief description of the main points of a piece of text. For example, you might use a summary to tell or remind your reader about the main events that affected a character.

Type your three supporting details in the space provided. my thesis is Because of Winn Dixie
