Some points to which you MUST pay attention in writing the paper are:
- Be sure to use only “hard copy” [paperback hard copy] of The American Heritage Dictionary [either your own copy or one in the library].
- Be sure you use one and only one quotation per volume, of no more than two lines each.
- Be sure that all parenthetical-citation entries correspond properly to the citations on the Works Cited listings and vice versa.
- Be sure to follow the examples in MLA exactly for STYLE in all matters pertaining to the form of your paper, the parenthetical citations & the Works Cited references.
