I want to include a paraphrased quote from an article and make a comment about it. If it is an exact quote, I believe I place quotation marks around it, but to shorten it to be within the 140 characters, how do I paraphrase it but show that the quote comes from the article?

I think your best chance here would be to go ahead and shorten the quote, and after that sentence/paragraph maybe put something along the lines of "excerpt from ___" and put the author of the article in that blank space. Also, citing where you got the quote from would help; otherwise it's plagiarism.

My teacher will never give marks if I follow these steps. He just wants exactly the same written in classwork. If I solve at least half, and it's correct, teachers are supposed to give marks but our teacher will give a 0. What do I do?

Give your teacher what s/he wants. You won't have to put up with that forever.

How do I punctuate thoughts? Example: "It's a complicated mess," I thought to myself. Is this correct or without quotation marks?
