  8. Parenthetical References • Janie loved the conversation and sometimes she thought up good stories about the mule • Direct quote • “Janie loved the conversation and sometimes she thought up good stories about the mule” • Quotation marks immediately before and after the quote • “Janie loved the conversation and sometimes she thought up good stories about the mule”(Hurston 53) • Reference includes first word(s) of works cited entry • Note there is NOT a comma between the name and the page number • “Janie loved the conversation and sometimes she thought up good stories about the mule”(Hurston 53). • Period (or question mark or exclamation point) goes at the end • NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER put it before the reference
