They Say, I Say: Ch. 5, Ex. 1

To introduce her topic, Julie Charlip quotes Marx and Engels, saying that they wrote such and such. She sets it up so that immediately following that quote, she can begin with "but" to state her opinion. She continues to do this by saying "I find..." Charlip does the essentially the same thing again, introducing a sociologist with a quote that she had garnered from him. She then states, "His definition: [...]" which allows she to go on to question the finer intricacies of the living styles between classes. Another instance where she cites a differing opinion is when she writes that "the average American will tell you he or she is 'middle class.'" Following after, she writes "but" to again state her stance.
