Naturally grandfather on my father's side was of almost purely Dutch. When he
was young, he spoke some Dutch He was a part of the Dutch Reformed Church in
New York while he was a small boy.
About 1644, his ancestor Klaes Martensen van Roosevelt came to New
Amsterdam as a 'settier" This was the name for an immigrant who came over in a
sailing ship in the seventeenth century instead of a steam boat in the nineteenth
century. From that time for the next seven generations, every one of us was born on
Manhattan Island
My father's ancestors were from Holland. The only one who didn't was one named
Waldron a wheelwright. He was one of the Pilgrims who stayed in Holland when the
others came over to found Massachusetts My father's mother was a Pennsylvanian
Her family had come to Pennsylvania with William Penn, some in the same ship with
him. They included Welsh and English Quakers, an Irishman, and peace-loving
Germans who were some of the founders of Germantown. They had been driven
from the Rhineland homes when the armies of Louis the Fourteenth ravaged the
Palatinate My grandmother was a sweet and strong woman. Although she was not
hersell Dutch, it she was the person who taught me the only Dutch I ever knew. It
was a baby song of which the first line was, "Trippe troppa tronjes." I always
remembered this, and when I was in East Africa it became a bond between me and
the Boer settiers. It was interesting to meet these men whose ancestors had gone to
the Cape about the time that mine went to America two centuries and a half earlier It
was also weresting to find that the descendants of the two streams of emigrants still
sang to their children some of the same nursery songs

can you take a picture of the passage

what: when quoting a source, use the author’s words verbatim, or word-for-word. this means you shouldn’t change any grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. put quotations around the words to tell your reader where the quote begins and where it ends.

you also need to acknowledge the author. for example, if using mla format for your research paper, you should have in-text citations with the author’s name and page number listed at the end of each quote.

when: use quotations to provide concrete examples to support your claims. using direct quotations is a great way to build your credibility on the subject. it’s also a good idea to quote your source when the author states things in a powerful way. if you think he or she said it best, then use the exact words to share the ideas.

example: in the short story “a jury of her peers”, mrs. hale compares mrs. wright to her caged bird, saying “she—come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself. real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and—fluttery. how—she—did—change” (glaspell).

paraphrasing

what: paraphrasing differs from quoting because you restate the passage in your own words. since you don’t use the author’s words, you don’t need to use quotation marks. however, you still need to acknowledge the author for his or her ideas.

when paraphrasing a text, you should communicate the full meaning of the text; don’t change the meaning. it can be a condensed version of the text, or it could end up being longer than the source it’s paraphrasing.

when: you use paraphrasing when you take notes, or explain a chart or diagram to someone. paraphrasing highlight the important parts of a larger text. it also allows you to simplify the ideas for your readers.

example:

original: “it was no ordinary thing that called her away–it was probably further from ordinary than anything that had ever happened in dickson county. but what her eye took in was that her kitchen was in no shape for leaving: her bread all ready for mixing, half the flour sifted and half unsifted” (glaspell).

paraphrase: as mrs. hales walks around mrs. wright’s home, she notices that the kitchen is in disarray as if she was in the middle of baking bread (glaspell).
