What specific functions does the lengthy quotation from an essay by Brent Staples (paragraph 12) play in Steele’s argument? Why could Steele simply not paraphrase or summarize Staples’s discussion? What value is there for Steele in using a first-person example here? In using an example from someone else, rather than using another example of his own? If Steele had been writing an essay of 500 words, how might he have used this quotation or information from it? Why? (See Chapter 19 for a discussion of using sources.)
