    contents of the paper should be smooth and logical for the readers to understand the purpose of the information. APA Style advises writers to include heading levels in this section because it helps organize and indicate the development of your paper. Citing references in text that are direct quotes should include the author’s name, the publication year, and page number(s).

If direct quotation appears in the middle of the sentence, end the passage with quotation marks and cite the source in parentheses right after the quotations then continue to complete the sentence. If direct quotation appears at the end of the sentence, close the quoted passage with quotation marks and cite the source in parentheses right after the quotation marks then end with a period om the outside of the final parentheses. If direct quotation includes 40 words or more requires a block quotation. A block quotation indicates that it is displayed in a freestanding block of text without any quotation marks. If you are paraphrasing the material, APA encourages everyone to include page numbers because it could be helpful for the interested reader if the source is very long. The last major section known as references is a list of the work from previous scholars that were used to write your paper in APA format. If there was something cited in the body section of the paper then it…

In chapter six of the book, “Joyride,” Kunstler describes “a machine that promised liberation from the daily bondage of place.

    First was not to be overly stressed out when writing if you can’t remember how to spell a word or where a punctuation mark goes. Continue writing to make sure all your ideas are put on paper and you can look over it later to edit any mistakes or look up how to spell certain words as well as where punctuation marks should go. Secondly is that the first draft of paper isn’t going to be a butterfly because writing is a process that takes time. Thirdly, is that I am way to concerned with my…

    During the reading of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, I was “stirred” by his absence of quotation marks. I thought to myself and I’m sure it crossed a few others minds, “what did McCarthy do to be able to write a full novel without any quotation marks?” Essay writing or just any writing at all would be a lot easier if we, like McCarthy were aloud to desert quotation marks. We would no longer have to worry about if we put a comma before or after the quotation mark or how to properly format it but…

    When a writer does not quote but paraphrase, words tangle with each other; it gives it a different meaning of what it supposed to portray. Also, the quotations are seen as a dialogue between two parties in order to understand or support the argument being presented. Schwartz quoted, “If more parents would buy boys pink shoes when they asked for them. The world would be a better place.” (Schwartz, 9). Schwartz quotes the retailer who was selling them the shoe for their son, and he quotes the man…
