Q: How do you put dialogue into a book report?

A: With quotation marks, followed by a page number. For longer quotations, display the selection as a block quote.

In the future, please make sure that the passages quoted are directly from the book, and not from some outside source.

For instance, dialogue quoted from the film Glengarry Glen Ross has no place in a report on the book The Phantom Tollbooth.

Furthermore, dialogue passages that are clearly transcriptions of secretly recorded conversations between your mother and father have no place in a formal book report.

And certainly not when they are love scenes.

Do I even have to explain why the drawings are inappropriate?
