According to John Medina, neuroscientist from the University of Washington and author of Brain Rules, . . .
Quote at the beginning
“Seeing three bears standing over her” was enough to show Goldilocks the error of her ways (Alderson 24).
Quote in the middle
As Goldilocks “grew afraid and ran out the window” she demonstrated an understanding of her social blunder (Alderson 24).
Quote at the end
Goldilocks’ growing understanding of the social relationships in the forest is demonstrated when “she grew afraid and ran out the window” (Alderson 24).
Integrating quotes
Quote at the beginning: “Between 20 and 100 million people died from the disease,”
deaths which could have been prevented had mass vaccination been available (Hanson-Harding).
Quote at the end: When the Hong Kong flu epidemic hit in 1968, “34, 000
Americans died” (Hanson-Harding). Quote in the middle:
According to many experts, “the best way to avoid getting sick is to get a flu shot in the fall,” and if everyone were to do so, future epidemics could easily be prevented (Hanson-Harding).
