Look at this link.

1. Take two quotes from your rough draft and use the correct format for in-text citations.

As A. W. Zelomek reported,

“Two out of five women with husbands and school-age children worked outside the home.

However, working women had yet to attain many positions...” (“A Changing America” (1959))

According to A. J. Goodpaster,

"The President said he had asked Dr. Bronk to come in to read the statement he (the President)

was proposing to give out at his press conference on the ninth [Oct. 9, '57]. His intent was not to

belittle the Russian accomplishment. He would like, however, to allay histeria [sic] and alarm,

and to bring out that the Russian action is simply proof of a thrust mechanism of a certain power[,]

accuracy and reliability." A. J. Goodpaster

2. Start your Works Cited page by giving me two sources in the correct format.

The Hazy Line Between Fact and Fiction

Listen to this excerpt or read it. Where should a writer draw the line between fact and fiction in a memoir? Does Tobias Wolff lie about who he really was? Does it matter?

A writer should try to hold as much to the truth as possible, but it is understandable that the writer would forget some things or decide to exaggerate the truth. I don't think it really matters too much if Tobias Wolff lied about who he was. After all, the book was kind of him finding out who he really was through different images he cooked up for himself.
