How do you site using the mla format?

When citing in the MLA format you want to be sure to include the following things in this order:

Author- Start with last name then a comma and the rest of the name

Title of Source- Found after the author's name, normally in italics or "quotation marks"

Title of Container- normally italicized and followed by a comma

Other Contributors- normally the editor, illustrator, translator, etc.

Version- If the source is listed as an edition or a version of a work something then be sure to include it in your citations

Number- Part of a numbered sequence such as ~season 2, episode 26, or vol. 6 no. 2

Publisher- Who it was published by, such as colleges, museums, etc.

Publication Date- What was the date when published

Location- From a book then the page numbers, or from a website then include the URL, or link of the website

Hope this helps ;)

our founding fathers introduced the revolutionary idea that each person's desire to pursue their idea of happiness was not self-indulgence, but a necessary driver of a prosperous society. they created a government to defend that right for everyone.
