ENG 1120 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Dependent Clause, Sentence Clause Structure, Semicolon
Document Summary
The titles of novels should be in italics: i. e. heart of darkness. Short story titles and articles should be in quotations: i. e. young goodman brown . With articles in books or journals, the article should be in quotations while the book/ journal title should be in italics. Note that short story title is in quotations, if a novel title appeared in an article title, it would be in italics. Must introduce quotes with a signal phrase: the titular character exclaims, [m]y faith is gone . It is possible to place your signal phrase after your quote. But a quote should never stand alone as a sentence. You could do this with a colon: i. e. my faith is gone : this exclamating by the titular character has both a literal and allegorical meaning. You can also introduce a quote with a colon. Or young goodmand brown realized that his faith [was] gone.
