Julius Caesar Essays • Quotes: • Citation goes at the very END of the sentence: • Brutus said “blah blah” and the crowd was mad (Shakespeare 26). • If you start in the middle of a quote, or don’t finish the entire thing, use … either before or after. • Paraphrasing quotes longer than 4-5 lines. • Your entire paper should not be made up of JUST quotes! • Transition into quotes – Brutus said, “blah blah…” • Your own commentary between quotes.
Julius Caesar Essays • Writing: • Play-by-play…. I already read the play, don’t just give me a play-by-play of what happened! I want to hear what you think about it, not just a summary! • “Well” and “So” weaken your paper
Julius Caesar Essays • Grammar: • Not Brutus’s – it is Brutus’ • Julius Caesaris a play – Needs to be either underlined or italicized if you are referring to the play itself. • The title of your essay should be capitalized • “Brutus should have” not “Brutus should of” • No SLANG • “Till” should be “Until” • “cause” should be “because”
