Donovan Stallons: In both MLA and APA format, you create a works cited page with all of the books, magazines, encyclopedias, internet sources, interviews, etc. that you used for research.How you use the information that you found will determine how it gets cited within your paper.The basic why is that it is the honest thing to do to give credit for an idea to the person who wrote it.On your questions:1. When you use an author's name in the text and paraphrase the words. 2. When you paraprase or use a general concept without using the author's name in your text3. Quotation marks indicate a direct quote from another author4. So the reader knows who originally said it5. So the reader knows it is a direct quote.Here are good websites that can guide you as you write your paper:For English papers and some other humanities use MLA stylehttp://www.ccc.commnet.edu/mla/index.shtmlhttp://www.dianahacker.com/resdoc/p04_c08_o.htmlFor social sciences and education, use APA style ! http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/...Show more
Dawn Saha: 1. When you've used ANY information from somewhere that was not your own. Quotation marks go around any cites that are short like short stories, poems, articles, interviews... etc. If you took a short story out of a book, then the book would be in Italics and the story would be in quotations. Same with Magazines, Journals. 2. Same as above but longer cites use italics, not quotations. Novels. Books containing volumes.3. See 1 and 2.4 & 5. If you use any information that is not your own... say you quoted someone, you need to cite it. Cite where you got that quote from.P.S. Where is your teacher?...Show more
Esteban Lyson: No. I don't ever put my characters' thoughts into quotation marks. Ever. I think it makes it very hard to realize whether they're saying something or thinking it. What I do is either italicize it or just tell the reader that my character thought it. I make the thoughts in! present tense so that gives it away as well.
