What is proper MLA format for quotations?
You can look that up on the web or in any writers handbook. Typically ENG102 requires you to use a writers’ handbook to look up things like this so they are available in the bookstore. There are also several websites such as the NSCC library and The Loft that will show you. Typically quotations or paraphrases from only one source, as is generally the case with this class, will just include the page number and not the author’s name since it is already known. If it is a direct quote the page number will follow the close quote mark (since it isn’t part of the original quote) and precede the period which ends a sentence. This “might be an example” (21). The NSCC Library homepage shows how to use proper MLA citation form as does The Loft. You can use APA citation methods if you prefer.
