In-text citation • Similar to bibliography • Simple & Shorter • In-text Sources are cited in the text • Format • Put the information you will use in quotes • Author’s name and a page number (in parentheses!) • (Wordsworth 25) • Online sources may not have page numbers • You can number the paragraphs • If there is no author, use the title
In-textcitation • Example • Most works of literature raises some kind of moral questions. However, “literature does not teach morals in a didactic way; rather, it gives us a chance to experience moral dilemmas”(Gillespie 18). Instead of reading about moral principles, we exercise them through literature.
More examples • Literature provides “aesthetic pleasure we take in good craftsmanship of any kind…well-ordered and well-chosen words are one of the few forms of immortality” (Pickering 4). This beauty in literature does not fade away. • At this moment, literature creates a special place, in which we are “sucked in, swept up, spirited away…enfolded in a blissful embrace” (Felski 55).
