Quick Paper Question

College Life
1

<p>I just wrote a philosophy of education for my ed foundations class. In the paper I quoted a book.</p>

<li><p>Should I document this book in a works cited page? (It would be my only source)</p></li>
<li><p>If I do, would I put the period after the parenthesis (I’m using MLA parenthetical documentation here) or would the quote (which ends the sentence) have no period?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>For reference, right now it looks like this: (not the actual quote)</p>

<p>“This is my quote.” (Author 0-1)</p>

<p>I’d definitely list the book as a source just to be safe, and I’m pretty sure you’d do this:</p>

<p>“This is my quote,” (Author 0-1).</p>

<p>Could be wrong, but that seems right.</p>

3

<p>I think you cite it (Author, #).</p>

4

<p>I’m not sure about MLA, but in ASA, we cite it this way:</p>

<p>“This is my quote” (Parenthetical citation).</p>

5

<p>In MLA, the correct citation is (Author #). There is no comma!</p>

6

<p>KarmaFairy is the right one.</p>

<p>Sorry…I didn’t really end up answering the question fully… o.o;;;</p>

<p>“Hi! My name is pyleela” (Author #).</p>

<p>No commas within the quote or in the citation. :slight_smile: Hopefully that helps more than my previous post, which was just referring to jennchen’s post. :D</p>
