MLA format: I am writing an essay evaluating a course and I mention titles of stories we read: citation?

We Answered:

For convenience, you can cite your work on sites like bibme. Here's the general info though:

The alphabetical list of works cited that appears at the end of your paper contains more information about all of the sources you've cited allowing readers to refer to them, as needed. The main characteristics are:

* The list of Works Cited must be on a new page at the end of your text
* Entries are arranged alphabetically by the author's last name or by the title if there is no author
* Titles are italicized (not underlined) and all important words should be capitalized
* Entries are double-spaced (for the purposes of this page, single-spacing is used)
* Each entry must include the publication medium. Examples include: Print, Web, DVD, and Television.

Clinton Said:

I need help designing a college writing course focused on "decisions"?

We Answered:

Well keep in mind that some of the most important things are
A. answering the prompt
B. Evoking an emotion from the reader to make yourself stand out

One essay prompt could be talking about the biggest mistake you feel you've made in life (that you're willing to write about) but that's kinda similar to your first one... an experience that changed your life? It's kind of hard to write a prompt because I don't know your life experiences. :)
Good luck!

Jesse Said:

need help writing an essay on "my attitude towards english language course in my life"?

We Answered:

Outside of giving you a site to help you with the structure of the essay (or actually writing it for you) there's not much we can do. These are personal questions to be answered from YOUR perspective -- not ours.
