EVERY PAPER FOR PROJECT TWO NEEDS TO HAVE A WORKS CITED PAGE. IF MORE THAN ONE TEXT IS USED/REFERENCED, LIST TEXTS ALPHABETICALLY BY LAST NAME. 

In the body of your paper:

Introduce the text and the full name of the author. After that refer to the author by LAST NAME ONLY.

• In the article "Empire of Images," Elizabeth Bordo states...
• Bordo claims that... Bordo...  

Whenever you SUMMARIZE, PARAPHRASE, OR QUOTE from the text, you should CITE the author and PAGE. 

For example: 

DIRECT QUOTE

• “Nobody wants to be fat but many Americans are obese.”Obesity is in fact a problem that has not been taken serious by most people.
• This direct quote needs to be CITED parenthetically with the NAME of the author and the page number that the quote is taken from, so ... if this quote came from page one of Jane Korn's article "Too Fat," it should look like this:

“Nobody wants to be fat but many Americans are obese.” (Korn 1).Obesity is in fact a problem that has not been taken serious by most people.

• Notice how the period was moved OUTSIDE the parenthesis because this quote is less than two sentences. 

SUMMARY 

• Klosterman starts this essay with a story from his past. Klosterman was dating two women at the same time, and decided to make a mixed CD for each of his women. After making a CD for the first one, he came to the realization that all 18 songs on the CD applied to his other lady friend as well. This concept baffled him because his relationships with these two women were completely different, and he felt very differently for each one. Yet, his feelings for both could be explained in the same four minute song. He ended up burning two copies of the CD and sending one to each girl. 
• THIS SUMMARY SHOULD CONCLUDE WITH A PARENTHETICAL CITATION REFERENCING THE PAGE(S) THAT THIS MATERIAL CAME FROM.

• Since the text already references Klosterman, his name does not need to be included in the citation.
