MLA Formatting For Manly Men

Why MLA? Little Sally Story

Basic MLA Reminders  12 Point Times New Roman Font  Black Ink  Double Spaced  1 inch margins (this may not be default)  Header at top right of every page  MLA Heading  Papers have a creative title – not bold, not underlined, just centered on first page with no extra space.

Parenthetical Citations  When providing a direct quote or when paraphrasing someone else’s ideas, you must provide a parenthetical citation either way.  A parenthetical citation lets the reader know where you got your information.  It helps them find the relevant information on the works cited page.

Quotations  When providing a quote, you must TAG it. I call untagged quotes “orphaned” quotes. Here is an untagged/orphaned quote: Patrick Henry vivaciously advocated for revolution. “Give me liberty or give me death.” He was willing to risk his life to end colonial enslavement.  Here is the same quote, tagged. Patrick Henry vivaciously advocated for revolution. In front of the Virginia Convention, he declared,“Give me liberty or give me death.” He was willing to risk his life to end colonial enslavement.

3 Ways To Tag “Give me liberty or give me death,” Patrick Henry proclaimed to the Virginia Convention. OR Patrick Henry proclaimed to the Virginia Convention, “Give me liberty or give me death.” OR “Give me liberty,” proclaimed Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention, “or give me death.”

Now time to add the parenthetical citations

How to Tag with Citations “Give me liberty or give me death,” Patrick Henry proclaimed to the Virginia Convention (Henry 167). OR Patrick Henry proclaimed to the Virginia Convention, “Give me liberty or give me death” (Henry 167). OR “Give me liberty,” proclaimed Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention, “or give me death” (Henry 167).

Perfect Paragraph Patrick Henry bases one of his primary arguments for armed revolution upon his belief that God is on America’s side.

Believing that Britain has denied the colonists their freedom, Henry establishes that the British deserve divine retribution.

Henry is referring to the teachings of John Lock, who wrote about freedom as an inalienable human blessing from God. His argument literally paints the colonists as soldiers in a holy war.

How To Apply To Your Paper Many of the rebelling colonists unjustifiably believe that the Lord God favors their cause.

How To Apply To Your Paper Many of the rebelling colonists unjustifiably believe that the Lord God favors their cause. Inspired by the teachings of John Locke, they perceive that the British have taken away the God-given right to freedom, and that God will rise to fight beside them. Patrick Henry in particular voiced this opinion during his Speech at the Virginia Convention.

Little does Henry realize that his “holy” cause is actually an unholy slap to the face of his Creator. God provided the colonists with the blessing of Mother England to protect them, the most powerful nation in the world with the head of its own church on the throne to guide it, and Henry and his rebel scum companions yearn to desecrate their bond.

Henry fails to understand that God indeed will be involved in this battle, but only to punish the ungrateful sinners in the disobedient colonies.
