I am writing an essay for my English class aboutthe play Death of a Salesman and I am wondering if when qouting from the book, do I have to write the quote in a seperate line, and should it be indented? For example:
Willy and Happy did not have a very good relationship because Willy did not pay much attention to his son. Growing up, he was always overshadowed by his brother, Biff and the first time this is evident is when Willy reminisces about the past.
-> "Happy: I'm loosing weight, Pop. You notice?
Willy: Jumping rope is good too.
Biff: Dad, see my new ball?
Willy, examing the ball: Where'd you get this from?"
-> It is evident that Willy is putting more important to Biff's ball, which he "borrowed" rather than Happy's weight loss, which he earned.
Did I format it right? Am I supposed to indent when writing the quote, THEN indent again when I'm continuing with the essay after the closing quotation? I drew the arrows.
