Answer 1

Check out this link: http://citationmachine.net/

The citation machine will help you put citations together in several styles. I WON'T fix errors that you enter. It doesn't look for CAP errors. It is only a TOOL, not a shortcut.

Answer 2

If you go to [1] and click on 'MLA' at the left.

Type your details in and click Submit and it will give you the following:

Bloom, Howard. Modern Critical Interpetations: Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird. Philadelphia: Chelsea House Publishers, 1999.

The in-text citation will look like this:

(Hicks 15-16)

[To Kill A Mockingbird = my favorite book]

Answer 3

You should use easybib.com if you're confused. I did a quick input and I got this: Hicks, Granville. Modern Critical Interpetations: Harper Lee's to Kill a Mockingbird. Philadephia: Chelsea House, 1999.

Seriously though, every type of book is different and if you're not sure what it is then you could get majorly owned, I suggest buying a copy of the MLA handbook I have the sixth edition!

Answer 4

The other answers are leaving out the article title. I believe it should be more something like this:

Hicks, Granville. "Three at the Outset." Modern Critical blah blah blah. Ed. Howard Bloom. Philadelphia: Chealsea House, 1999. pp. 15-16.

Pay attention to punctuation, indent the first line, and don't forget to underline the book title (after you've inserted the real title, hehe).

Answer 5

Easybib.com will answer your question. Plus, if you ever have citation questions in the future, you can consult this source--it will help you cite in MLA or APA format. It is free. (Although it offers a more advanced version, which you have to pay for). I'm a graduate student in English and I use this myself and recommend it to the college freshmen I teach.

Answer 6

Type in "citation machine" into yahoo search engine. It will do the citations for you you just have to plug in the info. Or buy the book for citations by Diana Hacker.

Answer 7

I honestly think a citing website would be much easier and gives less headaches. O.O

online citation generators work great
