Practice!
  • I remember hazing as being a series of demeaning
    activities which took place during initiation. In
    retrospect these activities were probably
    regarded as nothing more than harmless pranks. I
    don't think my fraternity brothers thought too
    much about it because that's the way things had
    always been done during initiation. In other
    words, hazing is a cycle.
  • Robert Kennedys speech as quoted in Bobby
    Kennedy A Life by Neil Harmon. Published on
    the website On the Media (no publisher), May 15,
    2007. Accessed September 30, 2009.
  • Write out
  • a.) The works cited entry for this source.
  • b.) A cited paraphrase of the quote.
  • c.) A cited summary of the quote.
  • d.) Finally, quote the passage using a lead-in
    with the original speaker, ellipses to take out
    the green text, and parenthetical documentation.

  • a.)
  • Harmon, Neil. Bobby Kennedy A Life. On the
    Media. N. p. 15 May 2007. Web. 30 Sept. 2009.
  • b.) In a speech, Bobby Kennedy recognized the
    cyclical character of hazing. Because of
    traditional initiation standards, his fraternal
    brothers probably never considered their
    activities as more than benign mischief. He
    remembered, however, the humiliating nature of
    their teasing (qtd. in Harmon).

7
  • c.) In a speech quoted in Harmons Bobby
    Kennedy A Life, the late politician recognized
    the recurring disparity between his frat
    brothers perception of hazing and the reality of
    its humiliations.
  • d.) Bobby Kennedy once said, I remember hazing
    as being a series of demeaning activities which
    took place during initiation. In retrospect these
    activities were probably regarded as nothing . .
    . (qtd. in Harmon).
