Parenthetical Citations
in disgustingly gross detail.

Reminder: We use parenthetical citations to give
credit to the people’s thoughts we use. We give credit for:
direct quotes paraphrasing summarizing
![Page 3: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What’s a Direct Quote? A direct quote happens when you
write down EXACTLY what another person or author wrote, not just when you are conducting an interview.
![Page 4: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Example Example: “Green chile is part of
my soul,” (McNamer, interview) said a former New Mexican resident.

What does paraphrasing mean?
Basically, paraphrasing is when you explain what your source said in your own words. You still have to give them credit!
![Page 6: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Example Example: Rule number 76 means
you should never take advantage of excuses (East Hollywood High School Manbear Code).
Notice how this gives you the same information that is in our citizenship posters, but a few words are changed.
![Page 7: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How is a summary different? Paraphrasing is used for smaller
concepts. When you summarize, you take a big idea and explain it in less complex terms.
![Page 8: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Example The St. Louis Rams destroyed the
Arizona Cardinals winning streak (“St. Louis Rams hand Arizona Cardinals their first loss”).
Notice how we left out details about the football game but still gave our source CREDIT.
![Page 9: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The general, garden variety citation (from a book):
We see Scout admit that she lies to her father when she says, “I said I could like it very much, which was a lie, but one must lie under certain circumstances” (Lee 128).
![Page 10: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Two things to note: We see Scout admit that she lies to her father when she
says, “I said I could like it very much, which was a lie, but one must lie under certain circumstances” (Lee 128).
1. The author’s name and page number appear without a “p” or comma• we know the number
is a page• we don’t need a
comma, either
2. Punctuation appears outside the quotation• there are certain
circumstances that require punctuation inside the quotation…
![Page 11: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“Certain circumstances:” When the quotation has pertinent
punctuation in it that change the meaning if omitted The older waiter in Hemingway's "A Clean, Well-
Lighted Place" asks himself, "What did he fear?" (79).
But notice, there is still a closing punctuation mark after the citation
![Page 12: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Speaking of Hemingway… You might have noticed that the citation
didn’t have an author in it! The older waiter in Hemingway's "A Clean, Well-
Lighted Place" asks himself, "What did he fear?" (79). That’s because I already gave the
author credit! Do you see it?
![Page 13: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Trickery: Citing the author this
way (in the sentence itself) accomplishes two things:
1. It cites the author (duh).2. It varies your sentence
structure automatically for you!– this = good writing
![Page 14: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What about those pesky internet sources?
Cite the author, forget the page number no pages in cyberspace
No author? Should you really use the site? if no one takes credit for it, is it
a credible site? If you must, cite the website
![Page 15: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Internet Example (Preferable)
If you MUST use one without an author, use the article title: There is no truth to the rumor that al-Qaeda
has poisoned the Coca-Cola supply in our country (“Coca-Cola No Al Queda”).
![Page 16: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Internet example (no title?): There is no truth to the rumor that al-
Qaeda has poisoned the Coca-Cola supply in our country (snopes.com).
Note:• I did not give the complete
URL, only a snippet.• The complete URL goes
in your works cited page.
• Also note that the good folks at “snopes.com” DO take credit for their work
• Their names are Barbara and David Mickelson and they do a nice job fact-checking…
![Page 17: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
But again, Try to use as few
unaccredited web pages as humanly possible.
Source validity is a huge concern when the source takes no credit for their work.
![Page 18: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Side note: When we do
literary analyses, like when we talk about Stargirl Do remember that
characters don’t talk,
authors do!
![Page 19: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What? Interview sources? Cite the last
name of the interviewee.
Then that it was an interview.
![Page 20: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Interview example: As junior students, we were told that
this paper is “dummy proof and it’s impossible to do wrong if you try” (Lesh interview).
Note the same rules apply:1. no comma2. punctuation outside of the
parentheses
![Page 21: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Remember… Parenthetical citations are just the
beginning. Your complete citations should be listed on your Works Cited page or Bibliography.
![Page 22: Parenthetical Citations](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062316/56816777550346895ddc72ff/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Finally… If you can out-perform the student
on the next slide by creating a song that helps us memorize an aspect of MLA citations either on your own or in a group I will give you 5 points of extra credit.
