Works Cited/MLA Notes
· All quotes must be introduced (integrated) with your own words. You cannot begin a sentence with a quotation. WRONG: “Feminism is what you make of it” (Smith 237).
· Quotation marks must surround word for word phrases. Direct quotes must be exact. Any deviation from the original is plagiarism, as is not citing the quote or not including a Works Cited.
· There are two basic ways to correctly cite or document a source. If the author’s name is presented in the introduction, then the citation will include only the page number from which the quote comes in parenthesis: When Gates explains Mr. Wilson, he says, “Mr. Wilson was a very quiet man, whose stony, brooding, silent manner seemed designed to scare off any overtures” (6).
· If the author’s name is not included in the introduction, then both the author’s last name and the page number should be included in the parenthesis: When Mrs. Cullinan’s husband is introduced, he is described as “undefined” (Angelou 108).
· Notice that the period goes AFTER the citation in both instances.
· Any question marks or exclamation marks go inside quotation marks: Mrs. Cullinan asks, “Aren’t you, Margaret?” (Angelou 109).
· If you are quoting dialogue, the double quotation marks in the dialogue become single quotation marks on your paper. EXAMPLE: Original wording from story: “the race” or “our people” being the terms my parents used in polite or reverential discourse
Quoted material incorporated into essay: There is an introduction in “What’s in a Name?” that describes terms used to describe African Americans during the time the story was written: “‘the race’ or ‘our people’ being the terms my parents used in polite or reverential discourse” (Gates 5).

Finding Poetry in the Music of the Day
Many songs have been produced by the current generation proving to be capable of having
thoughtful, profound literature, and words that are significant in thought. One good example is “Let
Me Love You” by DJ Snake featuring Justin Bieber. This song is properly produced to become
captivating to the target audience with a catchy tune and heartfelt lyrics. The song is a love song
and through its lyrics, the deeper meaning is exposed resonating well with the audience.
This song shows the desire to be loved by someone. It exposes the vulnerabilities that an
individual is exposed to when opening their heart to someone they love. “We were burning on the
edge of something beautiful” (DJ Snake, 2). This shows how someone has been struggling to open
their heart to someone they love. Even with the struggle they are not ready to give up on love.
“Never let you go, never let me down” (DJ Snake & Justin, 9). This shows how the individual in
love is begging their love to also love back.
This love song is similar to a poem by John Keats, “The day is gone, and all its sweets are gone!”
The poem shows how the poet is away from his love and misses her so much in the middle of the
night. “Faded the sight of beauty from my eyes,” (Keats, 6). Even though the poet seems to have
spent the day with his love, he feels like it’s been many years away from her in the night. The poet
longs to see her beauty and he is always remembering how beautiful his love is. When the night
comes the poet leaves love. We see how the poet goes through the struggles of love and how cruel
love is that he has to be alone when darkness comes. The poet remains holding on to love even

when darkness curtains. This shows how hopeful and positive the poet is to this love.” He’ll let me
sleep, seeing I fast and pray” (Keats, 14).
The song “Let Me Love You” and the poem “The Day is gone, and all its sweets are Gone!”
expose the struggles and vulnerabilities in love. Even when the person is not showing up or
reciprocating the love, one keeps holding on. This situation can be painful because one can only
hope for better days when love will come through.
