Citing a page number

[TubsAlwaysWins]

I have to do a 2-3 sentence thing for school about Confucius and I have to put a page number to prove my position. What does this look like?

Do you mean 2-3 pages? And a page number is the little number letting you know what page you're on.. like a book.

Do you mean integrating a quote with proper citation?  If so, what format?

MLA format

The best thing to do is Google it because it shows MANY very detailed examples

Are you using Word? When I was in college ('04-'08) they had just added nifty works cited/citation editing tools to make it a lot easier to add into your paper.

No its some online program. Thanks for letting e know about that word thing though. It will be helpful

No its just asking my opinion and then state what page its based off of.

Still use OWL for citing your sources.  Otherwise, you're going to be plagiarizing.

Keep in mind that was several years ago, I'm sure they didn't take it out, I just haven't used Word since then so I can't really help too much other than that.

Is it a Confucious book that you're citing from? In that case, it sounds like they just want a quote to look like this:

 

Your words or whatever it is you're talking about, "The quote from Confucious, probably some deep, meaningful shit that you should pay attention to (Confucious ##)."

 

Typically, you would have a Works Cited list to go along with the paper, and the author's last name refers to the source on your Works Cited page. Like anything English class related, there's all kinds of exceptions, if/then situations and stupid rules which nobody understands. However, since your teacher has given you the source material, a page number should be sufficent. I'd ask your teacher for clarification though in any case.

That is some great wisdom from Confucius. It should be in the Code of Conduct

You need to integrate then.  Or, you will likely get an auto F.  The new handbook for MLA requires it.

Ok thank you
