<p>ok should i just put it at the top and make references to it</p>
<p>OR
should I put a paragraph after the quote which connects the quote to my essay (sort of as an introductory thing)</p>
<p>OR
do they really want it to be like a jumping off point? I can't really do that b/c i wrote the essay first and then I found the quote so it's hard</p>
<p>I didn't really mention anything explicit in my essay either about the quote. I just couldn't find a way for it to fit in my essay, and it would be awkward to say "Yeah, I was reading this book and it reminded me..."</p>
