1 MLA Style: Quick Citation Guide The MLA citation style was established by the Modern Language Association of America (MLA), and is most commonly used in the liberal arts and humanities, especially in the fields of language and literature. The examples below show you how to cite the most commonly used sources. For additional examples and further detail, please refer to the MLA Handbook, 8 th Edition (2016). Copies of the handbook are available in Smith Library, Wanek Center Learning Commons and the SOE Resource Center. The new edition of MLA Handbook was published in April 2016, and this quick guide reflects the updates introduced in the 8th edition. For a more detailed explanation of the updates, please see MLA: What s New in the Eighth Edition. MLA FORMATTING GUIDELINES Set one inch margins on all four sides of your document. Double-space your paper throughout, using a legible 12pt. font, such as Times New Roman. Use the tab key to indent the first line of each paragraph to one-half inch (5 spaces) from the left margin. Use only a single space after periods and other punctuation marks. Usually, there is no need for a title page (check with your instructor). Instead, include on four separate lines: your name, your instructor s name, course number and date. Start one inch from the top of the first page, flush with the left margin, double-spaced. All pages (including the first) are numbered consecutively throughout the paper. Set up a header (one half-inch from the top of the page, flush with the right margin), with your last name and the page number in the upper, right-hand corner. Do not use the abbreviation p. for page or add a period, a hyphen, or any other symbol. e.g. Jones 1 Center the title do not underline, italicize, use all upper case, or quotation marks (unless you have included a quotation in your title). Do not use a period after the title or after any headings in your paper. See the sample MLA paper at the end of this guide for an example of how to format your paper.

If the name is short or if the abbreviation would not be easily identified in the reference list, write out the name each time. MLA Quick Citation Guide 4 Updated October 2016

6 Alex Doe Doe 1 ENG 1234 Professor English 12 July 2016 What Makes a Great First Sentence? The opening sentence of a great work of fiction is arguably the most important. It has to hook us in to the story, by saying: Listen. Come in here. You want to know about this (Parham). The first sentence has to do so much more than simply start the story: Opening lines of fictional art are the thresholds that take us into different worlds (Weaver 1). George Orwell, with the very first words of Nineteen Eighty-Four, takes us over just such a threshold: It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen (3). Stanley Fish writes that first sentences should have an angle of lean (102). He suggests that successful first sentences must lean forward and point to future, if presently inchoate, vistas; they draw readers in and equip them with quite specific expectations (102). Orwell s sentence is so powerful, because it leans forward into the story, hinting at an unsettling world, set in the future, that the reader slowly comes to realize is truly nightmarish. William Gibson, the acclaimed science fiction author, describes in an interview the painstaking process of writing great first sentences. It is a fascinating insight into the mind of an author. Gibson describes that a reader must feel a click from the first moment they read the first words of one of his novels (Fassler). The first sentence offers the handshake, on either side of the writer-reader divide. The reader shakes hands with the writer. The writer has already had to shake hands with the unknown. Assuming both have heard the click, we ve got it going on (Fassler). MLA Quick Citation Guide 6 Updated October 2016
7 Doe 2 Call me Ishmael (Melville 1). At a mere three words long, the famous first line of Moby-Dick, is one of the shortest (and most famous), in English literature. For Stanley Fish, one of the things that distinguishes great first sentences, is that they should be short; Even the simplest first sentence is on its toes, beckoning us to the next sentence and the next, promising us insights, complications, crises, and, sometimes, resolutions (100). Great first sentences can sometimes trail unintended consequences. Many people mistakenly think that "I am born", was the first three word sentence of Charles Dickens David Copperfield (Beatty). Instead, it is actually the title of the first chapter: The [actual] first sentence Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show is not nearly so memorable. It seems, though, to have furnished the inspiration for this great first sentence by another writer: If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. The writer is, of course, J. D. Salinger, and that is the beginning of The Catcher in the Rye (Beatty). Jason Parham s The Fifty Best First Sentences in Fiction, celebrates wonderfully the range and sheer inventiveness of a wide variety of authors. It is hard to resist the hook of a work that begins with: It was a wrong number that started it, the telephone ringing three times in the dead of night, and the voice on the other end asking for someone he was not (Parham).
