When including quotes in your writing, it is best to try to integrate the quotation into a sentence of your own. Don't just say, "The author says," and quote the author.

Bad example: Smith says, "I didn't want be near the perilous sea that dreadful day" (232).

Good: Smith states that he wanted to avoid "the perilous sea that dreadful day" (233).
