mostlytoasty Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Hope this is a quick, easy question to answer. I have a seminar paper that opens with an epigraph. It is super short and my paper is 14 pages long (for English programs). It's obviously relevant but I am just curious to know if it's a frivolous thing to have in a writing sample. this is all it is: The camera records visual facts: ie., all may be fictions. W.H. Auden "I am not a Camera" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balderdash Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) I wouldn't cut; it shows style. But that's just an opinion (from a so-so writer). Edited November 23, 2010 by balderdash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangefox Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 IMHO: in a writing sample it is fine. If I had a good epigraph in my WS I would probably leave it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonacademic Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I have two, and I'm leaving them in Then again, I discuss both of them extensively throughout my essay (one right away, the other comes in later). If it has nothing to do with anything, I might consider deleting it (if it reads gratuitously). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
