In my essay “Why I Love the Connection With Nature” the explanation for my evidence it’s not sufficient to show how it supports my thesis. The original section: “Buddha had this beautiful connection with nature, he understood how pacific and pleasant life can be.

A long quote will show that the writer is unable to develop an argument of his own and he is just trying to fill in space, thus making the essay look unprofessional. For a citation, the last name of the author and the page number or the number of the paragraph should be inside parentheses and the period goes outside the parentheses. While writing an essay, it is recommended to avoid ending or beginning with a quotation since the ICE method indicates to first introduce the quote, then cite the quote, and at the end explain it. A quotation at the end or at the beginning of a paragraph will lack an explanation or an introduction. The use of the quote will not be justified and it will not fit adequately into the sentence or
