One example of paraphrase: The largest social networking website, MySpace, has approximately 320,000 new users join every day. (Clemmitt)
One example of a quotation: According to Chris Hansen, author of To Catch a Predator, “An appealing picture, a friendly query, a similarity of interests, or someone just seems ‘cool’ is often more than enough for kids to make exceptions and let someone into their site that they don’t, in fact, know” (Hansen 135).
Why did the writer choose to present their research material in this way?
Because the paraphrase of some statistics can make the essay much realer and the quotations in the essay all fit well in the paragraphs, meantime, these make the essay seem to be much more believable.
How does the research contribute to the overall meaning of the essay?
The research can make this essay more believable. Since this is an essay about the publication of personal profile on social networking website, the statistics the author listed make the essay very serious and accurate and the sentences cited from some other works make the essay realer and persuasive and powerful.
