That quality is always better then quantity what this quote or paragragh is trying to say. That the dead pile of clay was like all the stacks of paper with alot of words that could be meaningless because they are just writing alot because they have to not because like have to turn it in for like the quality of the work .

If you pay more attention to the words you use and like the structure of your writing then you will get a better grade then just writing or summering the book.

The group that like wrote with quality had a better understanding of the book and like they read the book with depth not like just scim it so they could get a tone.
