Document Work (MLA)

In my showcase project (Literacy Narrative Analysis paper), I used MLA formatting to add quotes and signaled phrases to my paper, as well as, parenthetical citation including the authors name.  The same goes for my work cited page; I made sure I included the hanging indent, article/journal/book titles, etc.

Example of In-text Quotes from Project: Lastly, she describes ‘success narratives’ as, “Literacy acquisition with success, liberation, development, progression, and upward mobility; invokes optimistic and future-looking rhetoric; views literacy as utilitarian and useful, a means to economic, cultural, social, and political success” (Alexander 615).
