Chicago/Turabian Style Guide: Formatting Your Paper

Example of a direct quote in Chicago Style:

    Scott Hames in his essay, “Diasporic Narcissism: Desublimating Scotland in Alice Munro and Alistair MacLeod” goes so far as to say that Cape Breton identity in MacLeod’s fiction is directly tied to Scottish identity.  He writes, “MacLeod’s diasporic Scottishness is concrete and substantial, directly embodying a heritage of loss, betrayal, and communion.”1 Which is to say, it is almost as if the Canadian characters have never left Scotland.

If possible, paraphrasing the quote, or rewriting it in your own words (more than just changing a word or two) is preferable to quoting directly.  When paraphrasing be sure to cite the source!

Winkler also discusses the importance of the grandmother figure as a symbol of homecoming in his stories. This is also true of  “Grandmother” in No Great Mischief."²
