paraphrase of gold smith
Paraphrase the second paragraph of Goldsmith’s essay. (I’ve pasted this paragraph below,)
- Read and reread the passage several times and look up words you don’t know in the dictionary.
- Put the original passage away so you are not overly influenced by it.
- Try to remember the main points of the original passage as you now express them in your own words.
- Check your rendition with the original to make sure that your version accurately expresses all the essential information in a new form.
- Use quotation marks to identify any unique term or phraseology you have borrowed exactly from the source. (But you really don’t want to do much quoting in a paraphrase!)
- Use signal phrases (like “According to Goldsmith” or “Goldsmith claims”) so that your readers know this information comes from Kenneth Goldsmith. You do not need to use page numbers to cite your source in this particular instance.
Here is the second paragraph of Goldmsith:
The notion that the Internet is bad for you seems premised on the idea that the Internet is one thing — a monolith. In reality it’s a befuddling mix of the stupid and the sublime, a shattered, contradictory, and fragmented medium. Internet detractors seem to miss this simple fact, which is why so many of their criticisms disintegrate under observation.
