  2. In text citations • Cite both QUOTES and PARAPHRASES Example: In The Great Gatsby, Nick states, “I am still a little afraid of missing something if I forget that, as my father snobbishly suggested, and I snobbishly repeat, a sense of the fundamental decencies is parceled out unequally at birth” (Fitzgerald 20). Example: Although Amelia Earhart had a lot of passion as a child, her family struggled financially, which made success a bit more difficult for her (Smith 40).

  3. Quotes • Introduce and Conclude Quotes Example: In The Great Gatsby, Nick states, “I am still a little afraid of missing something if I forget that, as my father snobbishly suggested, and I snobbishly repeat, a sense of the fundamental decencies is parceled out unequally at birth” (Fitzgerald 20), meaning that Nick was raised to feel as though some may be naturally more graceful, tactful, and caring than others simply because of their own genetic makeup.
