What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
If you are using content from the short story that is 3 lines or shorter, you can place it in text in quotes. This will let the reader know you are quoting directly from the short story. For example, you may write, “In the short story 'A Good Man is Hard to Find', the Misfit character notes, ‘I found out the crime don’t matter. You can do one thing or you can do another, kill a man or take a tire off his car, because sooner or later you’re going to forget what it was you done and just be punished for it.’” If you are taking lines word for word out of the story that are very long, indent them to the left in block quotes so they stand out on the page. When you use block quotes, you do not need to use quotation marks as well. For example, you may write, “The aftermath of the shooting is described with brutality and plainness by O’Connor: ‘She was a talker, wasn't she?’ Bobby Lee said, sliding down the ditch with a yodel.’She would of been a good woman,’ The Misfit said, ‘if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life.’‘Some fun!’ Bobby Lee said.‘Shut up, Bobby Lee,’ The Misfit said. ‘It's no real pleasure in life.’ The in-text citation should always appear at the end of the quoted text in parentheses. Place periods or commas after the citation, not before it.  For example, you may write, “In the short story 'A Good Man is Hard to Find,' the Misfit character notes, ‘I found out the crime don’t matter. You can do one thing or you can do another, kill a man or take a tire off his car, because sooner or later you’re going to forget what it was you done and just be punished for it’ (O’Connor 10).” Or you may write, “The aftermath of the shooting is described with brutality and plainness by O’Connor: ‘She was a talker, wasn't she?’ Bobby Lee said, sliding down the ditch with a yodel.’She would of been a good woman,’ The Misfit said, ‘if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life.’‘Some fun!’ Bobby Lee said.‘Shut up, Bobby Lee,’ The Misfit said. ‘It's no real pleasure in life’(O'Connor 23)." Put a space, rather than a comma, between the author’s name and the page number. If there are multiple authors, separate their last names with a comma. For example, you may write a citation such as: “(O’Connor 23)” or “(Gaitskill 12).”

Summary:
Put quotations around short quotes from the text. Use block quotes for a quote longer than 4 lines. Place the citation in parentheses at the end of the quote. Include the author’s last name and the page number in the citation.
