For instance, we are told that Dr. Seward “placed [her] in a comfortable chair, and arranged the phonograph so that [she] could touch it without getting up , and showed [her] how to stop it in case [she] should want to pause. Then he very thoughtfully took a chair, with his back to [her], so that [she] might be as free as possible, and began to read” (Stoker 268).are the brackets used right? it is supposed to be like me replacing all the shes and Is and mes to make it fit my tense and stuff.did i use them right?
I don't know whether yours is right because I don't know the original quote. But if you change words in a quote, those words (the new ones) will go into square brackets. E.g., I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not. ~Kurt Cobain~ Just say you want to quote that, but refer to someone in the 3rd person. If it was she, it would be: [She'd] rather be hated for who [she is] than loved for who [she is] not.
