Describe why you picked this picture. 1—- Hi everybody!! My name is, I’m majoring in biology to pursue a career in Dentistry. I had just got hired as a dental assistant 2 weeks ago which I am so excited about because it motivates me more to be in the environment that I aspire to be in. The reason why I chose to be a Dentist goes back to about 2 years ago. My grandfather was in the ICU where he had just woken up from a comma. He had removable full mouth dentures, he tried to speak but he couldn’t because he needed them to be in his mouth. The nurse came in and attempted to place the dentures but failed, then my father attempted as well but also failed! Then I decided to try because why not? I was always first in line to help. I rush to put my gloves on and go to my grandpa’s hospital bed with his dentures in my hand. I ask him to open his mouth and I then start my attempt to insert his dentures and it gets placed smoothly. and that is when he wished for me to be a dentist… unfortunately he passed away 2 months later and I am prospering his spirit by going into dentistry. To share a little bit about myself, my family and I immigrated here 6 years ago from Jordan where I grew up but was born in Iraq. My joy comes from being outdoors, whether it’s walking my dog, playing basketball at the park, or *my favorite* watching the sunset. I promised myself that I need to start reading more books and less Netflix, so I just finished reading over the weekend this amazing book “the unhoneymooners” and it is just the cutest book and highly recommended! Though I don’t need this class, I wanted to take it to better develop my interpersonal skills. I tend to get anxious when I am around people and have no idea what to talk about! It’s not the talking part that I struggle with, I could go on for hours, it’s the starting. So, I am looking forward in developing this skill with this class 🙂 A picture that best represents me is the smiley face. the reason behind that is that I am always smiling. when I played 4-year highschool basketball, I used to be called smiley by my teammates and my coach. My coach gave me that nickname because he said that I am always smiling even when I am going up and down the court. 2——- Hi Class, My name is, I am 23 years old, I am from Iraq and I work for Amazon as a delivery driver. I live in San Diego By myself, my family still back in my country Iraq, and I am here as an international student. I love working out all the time, watching soccer, and reading books. I am an outgoing person I try to enjoy my life while I’m studying and working at the same time. I am a very adventurous person I enjoy doing skydiving, hiking, and climbing. I like going to the beach watching the sunset and reading books about the human body. I have been in college for almost 2 years and I still have 2 more semesters to transfer to SDSU with a biology major. the reason why I am taking this class because this class is required for my major and I want to learn about this class more and enjoy the communication class. this picture is representing me in the future. I uploaded this picture to show that I am going to be a doctor in the future and I’m going to specialist in cardiologist which is my favorite part of humans. the reason that I decided to become a doctor is that I love helping people, it’s just my passion that I want to help everyone in this world and make it a healthy and better place. Being a doctor is not easy but nothing is impossible, I decided to do this challenge because I feel like the human body is like a miracle system and I want to learn everything about the human body and the way it works.

MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics

Guidelines for referring to the works of others in your text using MLA style are covered throughout the MLA Handbook and in chapter 7 of the MLA Style Manual. Both books provide extensive examples, so it’s a good idea to consult them if you want to become even more familiar with MLA guidelines or if you have a particular reference question.

BASIC IN-TEXT CITATION RULES

In MLA Style, referring to the works of others in your text is done using parenthetical citations. This method involves providing relevant source information in parentheses whenever a sentence uses a quotation or paraphrase. Usually, the simplest way to do this is to put all of the source information in parentheses at the end of the sentence (i.e., just before the period). However, as the examples below will illustrate, there are situations where it makes sense to put the parenthetical elsewhere in the sentence, or even to leave information out.

General Guidelines

• The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1) upon the source medium (e.g. print, web, DVD) and (2) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited page.
• Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry on the Works Cited page.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS: AUTHOR-PAGE STYLE

MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author’s name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For example:

Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263).

Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263).

Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).

Both citations in the examples above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263), tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following information:

Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. Oxford UP, 1967.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR PRINT SOURCES WITH KNOWN AUTHOR

For print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation.

Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as “symbol-using animals” (3).

Human beings have been described as “symbol-using animals” (Burke 3).

These examples must correspond to an entry that begins with Burke, which will be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of an entry on the Works Cited page:

Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method. University of California Press, 1966.
