Hi guys!
so not to long ago i started college and my first paper is due tomorrow, and I just started doing it right know. I had a lot more homework in other classes that I did instead. So I dont know if you can help me but and still going to ask. I have to use in-text citation and a works cited page in mla. I am using an Anthology (Its a story by George Orwell that is inside a book with a lot more of other stories by different authors). So for the in-text citation do i just say Orwell(page number)? and for the works cited page, I only cite the source once right?

Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure there are sites out there that do the citations for you also your school bookstore should have books on proper citations. Sorry don't know off the top of my head, but hope it helps.

I think Purdue owl has a whole section on how to citate and all the nuances behind it

I believe its something like this (Orwell, 23). If you're doing a citation for a quote within text it would appear like this (as qtd. in Orwell, 23)
