Helpful Hints:

1. Books are heavy. They are placed on a shelf (when handwritten). They tilt (when typed).
   
2. The correct way to cite a quote:
   
   1. "I am happy" (Thompson 20).
      

      (If the sentence that you are quoting ends with a period, do not put include it. Instead, please put the period on the outside of the parentheses).
      

   2. "Are you happy?" (Thompson 20).
      

      (If the sentence that you are quoting ends with a question mark, include it. You must also put the period on the outside of the parentheses).
      

   3. "Yay!" (Thompson 20).
      

      (If the sentence that you are quoting ends with an exclamation mark, include it. You must also put the period on the outside of the parentheses).
      

   4. "…when I was telling the story…" (Thompson 20).
      

      (If you are not quoting an entire sentence, you can use ellipses […] to show where you have shortened the quote. You must also put the period on the outside of the parentheses).
      

3. You may change words in a quote. The words you've changed must be surrounded by the following brackets: "He [Beowulf]" or you can simply state "[Beowulf]," leaving the original "he" out.
