Is a quotation or an illustration more difficult to incorporate into an essay? and why?

In my opinion, it is hard to decide whether which of the two is more difficult to be put into an essay as both the quotations and illustrations can add value to it, if incorporated effectively but that is where most of the people fail.

People tend to use direct quotations when they think the idea cannot be expressed or communicated more appropriately. While some people just give a reference to it and paraphrase it in their own words, which sometimes loses its meaning or the level of effectiveness that original quotation had in it.

On the contrary, an illustration, I think, is more difficult to incorporate into an essay because it has to clearly express and bespeak in accordance to support the idea being discussed with the use of an evidence.

based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32, i agree with the author of the passage "better is it that it takes longer to be angry than the strong " to the extent that i share the philosophy that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are very proud, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and do not constantly obfuscate or contain their feelings of anger, are strong people

innocence can be defined as the lack of sin, relating it with the lack of guilt, also it can be a synonime of naivety. most people agree that sins are made out of experiences, intentionally or not, as well as you stop being naive once certain things happen to you throughout your life. so, with this explained, the chosen answers are:

when the boy saw the effects of war, he no longer viewed life as innocent.

the loss of innocence is a result of gaining experience and making mistakes.

one way to define innocence is as a lack of worldly experience or sophistication.
