How do i cite quotations for romeo and juliet?

answer:

there are three ways to add quotes:

with the person’s name in the sentence.

example:

dan gutman shares a glimpse into the overall plot by stating, “i didn’t know it at the time, but a baseball card—for me—could function like a time machine” (5).

in the above example, dan gutman is the author of the book that this quote is pulled from.

without the person’s name in the sentence

example:

the main character’s confusing experience is realized and explained when he states “i didn’t know it at the time, but a baseball card—for me—could function like a time machine” (gutman 5).

in the above example, dan gutman’s name isn’t included in the sentence. it’s included in the parentheses at the end of the sentence. this is an example of a proper mla style citation in the body of a project.

in a block quote, which is used when a large quote, of 4 lines or more, is added into a project.

using footnotes and endnotes:

the modern language association generally promotes the use of references as described in the sections above, but footnotes and endnotes are also acceptable forms of references to use in your paper.
