[stylist] Critiquing question- quoting other sources

[Lynda Lambert]

The other thing to note is that you don't want to write something that 
contains a string of quotes. Remember, you are not writing an annotated 
bibliography, but an essay. Often, when I taught Freshman English Comp. 
students would try stringing together lots of quotes in their papers.
