GENERAL COMMENTS

Great job on your final draft, Ms. Berry! I enjoyed the confident tone and the organization ofyour paper. I can tell that you put a lot of time and thought into this paper, and dare I say, evenenjoyed it perhaps? Please keep that up

It doesn't meet the 5 page minimum, however, and there are some minor MLA within yourpaper (punctuation and source entry not matching what's on your Works Cited), and on yourWorks Cited page, as noted.

Other than that, you've done a good job!

Within parentheses, brackets are used to add very brief additional information about the material in

parentheses.

MLA DocumentationMLA Documentation The Modern Language Association (MLA) provides a citation style used to cite sources in thefields of English, rhetoric and composition, foreign languages, and literature. Using the MLA style in your humanitiespaper allows your readers to easily identify the source of information or a quotation and find the relevant publicationinformation. The MLA style includes two basic components: (1) citations of summaries, paraphrases, and quotationsgiven inside parentheses in the body of the text, and (2) an alphabetically organized Works Cited page at the end of thetext, which provides the author, title, and publication details for each source used. <aonclick="javascript:window.open('http://college.cengage.com/english/enhanced_insite/writing_manual_digital_age_brief_2009_mla/index.html?page=181&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')"href="javascript:;">See chapter 13.</a> If you need an example of how to cite a particular kind of source, such as a bookor an article, <aonclick="javascript:window.open('http://college.cengage.com/english/enhanced_insite/writing_manual_digital_age_brief_2009_mla/index.html?page=181&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')"href="javascript:;">see the list of MLA indexes on page 181. </a> <ul> <li>For instruction on and examples of MLAin-text citations,<aonclick="javascript:window.open('http://college.cengage.com/english/enhanced_insite/writing_manual_digital_age_brief_2009_mla/index.html?page=182&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')" href="javascript:;">see 13a.</a> </li> <li>For Works Cited information, <aonclick="javascript:window.open('http://college.cengage.com/english/enhanced_insite/writing_manual_digital_age_brief_2009_mla/index.html?page=193&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')"href="javascript:;">see 13b.</a> </li> <li>To learn how to format a paper in MLA style using Microsoft Word, <aonclick="javascript:window.open('http://college.cengage.com/english/enhanced_insite/writing_manual_digital_age_brief_2009_mla/index.html?page=224&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')"href="javascript:;">see 13c. </a></li> <li>For a sample paper that uses MLA style, <aonclick="javascript:window.open('http://college.cengage.com/english/enhanced_insite/writing_manual_digital_age_brief_2009_mla/index.html?page=231&anchory=null','blank','location=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,width=960,height=720')"href="javascript:;">see 13d.</a></li>
