While quotations are not expected by the IBO, per say, it provides the icing on the cake for a solid paper. Many texts often have key quotations that are analyzed in depth in class, and incorporating one or two lines from your novel into your essay can cement your argument, as you can illustrate how your points parallel what the author was trying to say.Akademix (talk) 20:31, 26 August 2008 (UTC) Whomever wrote this is a pretentious fool. Why use "utilize" when "use" is so vastly less self-aggrandizing yet exactly the same?

As per the question about novelists and their favor of characters, this is not even close to a typical IB question. IB will NEVER ask you about the author him/herself, as that would imply that it was expected that you study the actual author. IB questions may ask you about the VOICE expressed in a particular work, as that is a literary technique employed BY authors (novelists). Also, "How far" is not an IB command term, so you will never, ever see it in an exam question.
