Chapter twenty-one, “MLA Style: In-Text Citations”, talked about how to include in-text citations into your papers. The purpose of in-text citations is to show the readers where they can find your source from your works cited page. There are many ways to make in-text citations. The most popular include the authors name in the text with the page number in parentheses or both author’s name and page number in parentheses. If you used multiple works written by the same author then you have to include the title of the work either in text or in parentheses. I realized that many works would not always give you an author so it is important to know how to cite a work without one. To do this you simple just use the title of the work in your in-text citation.
