a parenthetical citation. A parenthetical citation is placing a relevant source information in parentheses after a quote or a paraphrase.

65
Q

What is wrong with this citation?

“But the aircraft a year ago had been different.” (Lowry 2)

A

Since the sentence in the book ended with a period, this does not mean you put it right after a sentence. Instead you would put the period after the parentheses. For example:“But the aircraft a year ago had been different” (Lowry 2).

66
Q

Is this the correct use of the quotation mark when dialogue is performed in the novel:

“ ‘Oh no,’ Mother murmured sympathetically” (Lowry 9).

To cite dialogue (a quotation within a quotation), use single quotes for the dialogue and double quotes around the entire passage that comes from the novel. Follow the same rules for end punctuation (periods, exclamation points, question marks).

67
Q

What is wrong with this quote:

“What would happen to his friendships?” (Lowry 87).

A

Nothing.
The sentence ended with a question mark in the novel. Keep the question mark and add a period at the end of the citation.

68
Q

The author uses a flashback to explain to the reader what happens at annual ceremonies every December (Lowry 14).

A

This example is a paraphrase (not a direct quote), but since the writer references the text, a citation is necessary. Notice there is no period at the end of the writer’s sentence.
