MLA Style Format

MLA Formatting and Style Guide

Summary: MLA (Modern Language Association) style is most commonly used to write papers and cite sources within the liberal arts and humanities. This resource, updated to reflect the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th ed.) and the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing (3rd ed.), offers examples for the general format of MLA research papers, in-text citations, endnotes/footnotes, and the Works Cited page. 

General Format

MLA style specifies guidelines for formatting manuscripts and using the English language in writing. MLA style also provides writers with a system for referencing their sources through parenthetical citation in their essays and Works Cited pages.

Writers who properly use MLA also build their credibility by demonstrating accountability to their source material. Most importantly, the use of MLA style can protect writers from accusations of plagiarism, which is the purposeful or accidental uncredited use of source material by other writers.

Paper Format

The preparation of papers and manuscripts in MLA style is covered in chapter four of the MLA Handbook, and chapter four of the MLA Style Manual. Below are some basic guidelines for formatting a paper in MLA style.

General Guidelines

• Type your paper on a computer and print it out on standard, white 8.5 x 11-inch paper.
• Double-space the text of your paper, and use a legible font (e.g. Times New Roman). Whatever font you choose, MLA recommends that the regular and italics type styles contrast enough that they are recognizable one from another. The font size should be 12 pt.
• Leave only one space after periods or other punctuation marks (unless otherwise instructed by your instructor).
• Set the margins of your document to 1 inch on all sides.
• Indent the first line of paragraphs one half-inch from the left margin. MLA recommends that you use the Tab key as opposed to pushing the Space Bar five times.
• Create a header that numbers all pages consecutively in the upper right-hand corner, one-half inch from the top and flush with the right margin. (Note: Your instructor may ask that you omit the number on your first page. Always follow your instructor's guidelines.)
• Use italics throughout your essay for the titles of longer works and, only when absolutely necessary, providing emphasis.
• If you have any endnotes, include them on a separate page before your Works Cited page. Entitle the section Notes (centered, unformatted).

Formatting the First Page of Your Paper

• Do not make a title page for your paper unless specifically requested.
• In the upper left-hand corner of the first page, list your name, your instructor's name, the course, and the date. Again, be sure to use double-spaced text.
• Double space again and center the title. Do not underline, italicize, or place your title in quotation marks; write the title in Title Case (standard capitalization), not in all capital letters.
• Use quotation marks and/or italics when referring to other works in your title, just as you would in your text: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas as Morality Play; Human Weariness in "After Apple Picking"
• Double space between the title and the first line of the text.
• Create a header in the upper right-hand corner that includes your last name, followed by a space with a page number; number all pages consecutively with Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.), one-half inch from the top and flush with the right margin. (Note: Your instructor or other readers may ask that you omit last name/page number header on your first page.

Long Quotations

For quotations that extend to more than four lines of verse or prose: place quotations in a free-standing block of text and omit quotation marks. Start the quotation on a new line, with the entire quote indented one inch from the left margin; maintain double-spacing. Only indent the first line of the quotation by a half inch if you are citing multiple paragraphs. Your parenthetical citation should come after the closing punctuation mark. When quoting verse, maintain original line breaks. (You should maintain double-spacing throughout your essay.) For example:

Nelly Dean treats Heathcliff poorly and dehumanizes him throughout her narration:

They entirely refused to have it in bed with them, or even in their room, and I had no more sense, so, I put it on the landing of the stairs, hoping it would be gone on the morrow. By chance, or else attracted by hearing his voice, it crept to Mr. Earnshaw's door, and there he found it on quitting his chamber. Inquiries were made as to how it got there; I was obliged to confess, and in recompense for my cowardice and inhumanity was sent out of the house. (Bronte 78)

When citing long sections of poetry, keep formatting as close to the original as possible:

In his poem "My Papa's Waltz," Theodore Roethke explores his childhood with his father:

The whiskey on your breath
Could make a small boy dizzy;
But I hung on like death:
Such waltzing was not easy.
We Romped until the pans
Slid from the kitchen shelf;
My mother's countenance
Could not unfrown itself. (quoted in Shrodes, Finestone, Shugrue 202).

MLA Works Cited Page: Books

When you are gathering book sources, be sure to make note of the following bibliographic items: author name(s), book title, publication date, publisher, place of publication. The mium of publication for all “hard copy” books is Print.

Facebook is Being used by Criminals to Lure Potential Victims.

here are many criminals in the world using Facebook to lure potential victims. This social networking site is helping as a platform to gain the person’s friendship and create different identities that they will trust. These villains utilize social networks to kidnap, rape and kill innocent victims. Everyday more and more youths are using Facebook in the world without the knowledge that it could a fatal entertainment.

However, many people think that this could not happen in Europe or in The United States, which only is happening in South America. This is not true. These issues (identity verification, privacity and safety) are happen in many countries in the world, as there is one case in Bogota-Colombia, and another in Sedgefield-England both about young ladies killed by "friends" that they met on Facebook. Therefore, first Facebook is being used by criminals to lure potential victims, and second; villains in some cases are using fake profile.

In consequence, there are several similarities in the use of Facebook by criminals, like tools to lure potential victims. Ever thought these murders are in different continents; they looking on Facebook as a potential tool for to help them.

        Besides, young girls are using Facebook to meet new people, to make friends and sometimes find a couple. These young are between 15 and 20 years old. Like is the case of "Ana Maria Chavez a 19-years-old girl student from Bogota-Colombia was killed by two men who she had met through Facebook. She had accepted to one of the two men who committed the crime as her friend on the site. Seemingly, he gained the victim's true and they started a friendly relationship though this social networking site.

Likewise, is Ashleigh Hall’s case; a 17-year-old girl student from Sedgefield-England, who was murders by man she met on Facebook. When she met him, he said “that she was father of the boy that she was waiting". He then kidnapped, raped and murdered her. 

In addition, criminal are using fake profile and attractive pictures. In South America, in the Ana Chavez's case the murders had fakes pictures and information profile was not real. Similar to this, happened with Ashleigh Hall where her supposed friend had used the fake identity of a teenager boy to entice Ashleigh into meeting him. He created the fake profile on Facebook and used pictures of a boy in his late teens.

  finally, In South America as the world more young are using are socials networking for to meet or have friends, however, it helped as a platform to gain the girls’ friendship and create different identities that they could trust. In conclusion, although there are many cases about criminals using Facebook like a tool though to find more victims, every day more young are using is social networking for to meet friends.
