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.
