One example of paraphrase: More telling is the fact that Leinart only attended one class at USC in the fall, a two credit ballroom dacing course that would complete his requirements for a degree in sociology("Leinart").
One example of quotation: Leinart's perspective on school can be summed up in a 2005 ESPN.com article which states: "School's done for me----I'm here to concentrate on football," he said. Leinart will complete his schooling by taking a class in ballroom dancing with Cameron, a sophomore from Thousand Oaks who plays on USC's women's basketball team. "We both kind of figured, 'Let's take that.' We'll practice our tango or whatever the heck they do----the 1-2 step," Leinart said, smiling. Sure beats working. ("Leinart")
This is an essay named "Running Up Hill: The Struggle of Student Athletes" by Zachary Tuthill. It is mainly about how people in University of Southern California struggle in sports. I suppose that the author chose the paraphrase I gave above was because the example is very specific and clear, and along with the quotation, they made the article more believable and objective. Additionally, they fit each other well so this made the essay very persuative beacause people usually are willing to believe the fact that is with a statistic or a conversation.

BLOG Assignment 5
As a coin has two sides, especially in the meanwhile, history is always a controversial and sensitive topic, there are many things we can not judge by only listening to one person's opinions. It can be a totally different story between a winner's view and a loser's view.
Born and grown up under the condition that being led by the communist party, representing the winner of the two-party-war. What I see and know is all about how the nationalist party did something bad to China, and how the communist party beated down the nationalist party. Nevertheless, the history we have ever read would be a totally different one if history is written by the nationalist party. For example, to tell the truth, the nationalist party was the one that work harder during the anti-Japan war, but the communist party only emphasized what it did and the nationalist party became opposite role that helped Japan fight against the communist party. Besides, the Jieshi Jiang, who once led the nationalist party, was not like what the book described, imperious and despotic, arbitrary, narrow-mindedness. At that time he thought while the other country was invade us, if we couldn't be a team, the northeast may would be occupied by the Japanese, so he stopped fight against the communist party, and the communist party exactly caught that very right time so the nationalist party failed. I just want to say that history is always so controversial, there are many advantages and disadvantages at both two sides, and we should take them objectively and see how it will go in the future.
