OFFLINE

hey!
Two questions:
1. What if i didn't cite a specific sentence, but rather just read for general knowledge, or was inspired by a certain book? should it be on the "works cited"? (or should I change the title to "bibliography"?)
2. Any advice for a way to finish an essay? (with a firm closed sentence? an open sentence?)

Hi,

better safe than sorry. If you're not sure, you can have under the "works cited" another topic called "works consulted" and put the book under that. The MLA rules for that are the same.

2. An essay should have a conclusion at the end, 3-4 sentences that summarizes or repeats the idea of your paper. I like ending papers with a firm closed sentence, but it's up to you
