Freshmen High School AP English essay help????

Question

I have to write an essay on a book i read on one of the requirments in 3 og the paragraphs says

-citations for evidence

i dont know what that means... and what to write

please help and explain

Answer 1

When writing you need to back-up your opinion or thought or fact with evidence, like a lawyer at trial. Generally using the MLA style of writing is acceptable. Check it out here:http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resour...

Answer 2

all it means is you gotta cite your sources or where you got the evidence supporting where you stand also if you look at your high school website its bound to have a section all about citing sources in the library section  

Answer 3

Book  Chapter

    In D. Palumbo (Ed.), 1988, Spectrum of the fantastic

     (pp. 219-223). Westport, CT. Greenwood.

the author, the date, title, the pages, place of publication, and publisher.

when it says evidence you need to say what page you got it from using the format above. you can look online for more citations if i didnt explain enough.

The essential elements of a book chapter citation are:  

  

Book Chapter Title

Book Chapter Author

Title of the Book

Author/Editor of the Book

Place of Publication

Publisher

Date of Publication

Chapter Page(s)



  

Answer 4

if you state any solid facts, you have to put where you got them from. such as: my favorite book is "A Seperate Peace", it was written in 1942 (there would be a small one near the top, but yahoo answers doesn't let you make them)

(at the bottom of the page or on a seperate page)

1. Wikkipedia.com

(or where ever you got you're information)
