Can I have an example of an "embedded quotation"? plz?

An embedded quote is simply a quote that flows naturally within your own writing and is not just "dropped in". When you read an embedded quote it will almost sound like part of your own sentence. This is an example of an INCORRECT, dropped in quote: Beneatha is a character who believes in freedom of expression. She said this quote: "People have to express themselves one way or another" (Hansberry 48). This is an example of an embedded quote: Beneatha is a character who believes that, "People need to express themselves one way or another" (Hansberry 48). Just think of embedding as weaving a quote into your own writing to create a more appealing final product.
