I have an essay question?

Question

is it ok if you include interview's of people in an essay (college essay)

Answer 1

Using quotes for the person would sound better. You could put in the whole interview if you do it just right.

Answer 2

I think that it would be okay.  However there are certain guidelines.  Only use it if you feel that it will make the essay stronger.  If you are just putting in there to make it seem that you know someone important or because you feel you have to then I would not.  It has to have purpose and reason.  I wrote my college essay on the sound of rain and how it makes me happy.  I got into every college I applied to, so it really just depends.  It should sound sincere and honest.  Make sure you follow through with your point and that it is not just a ramble.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 3

Yes.

Answer 4

If you put quotes around them or use a bibliography. If you don't it is know as plagiarism.

Answer 5

Absolutely as long as you indicate that is is a quote and attribute the statement(s) to the original speaker.
