A pointless thing which students have to write for their l.a class, they will never use it again. It ruins a perfectly good reading experience by making the student not want to write a csqt with forced parenthetical citations, introductory phrases, and appositives, for one chapter.
Guy a: hey did you do the csqt for Lord of the Flies?
Guy b: you mean claim/setup/quote/tie in? Fuck no! I just want to read the book mate.
