Mr. Kline. . . I want to know if my title needs to be in quotations. My synthesis is being limited to the homeless and my title is Homeless, Anything Helps. Does it need to be in qoutations because it's what's usually written on the cardboard signs that homeless people hold? Oh, yeah, this is MeShine.
ReplyDeleteHello. . . Just checking to see if my name pops up. . .
ReplyDeleteYour title does not *need* to be in quotations, but I think it is rhetorically advantageous.
ReplyDeleteAlright. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHello! Stylistically, when using a brand name, does it merely need to be capitalized or would quotation marks be used?
ReplyDeleteBrand names are capitalized: Coke, Pepsi, etc.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteHey Mr. Kline so for our thesis statements do they need to be in the beginning of our essays or can we state our thesis statements towards the end, because my paper sounds and feels a little better when I use my thesis at the end.
ReplyDeleteIf it works better in the end, then it belongs in the end.
ReplyDeleteHow do you cite a statistic?
ReplyDeletelike this:
There were 43.6 million people in poverty in 2009, up from 39.8 million in 2008(US Census Bureau).
or this?
"There were 43.6 million people in poverty in 2009, up from 39.8 million in 2008"(US Census Bureau).
Oh and does it matter where we define our terms? I have mine towards the end and it works really good there.
ReplyDeleteYour first suggestion was correct:
ReplyDeleteThere were 43.6 million people in poverty in 2009, up from 39.8 million in 2008(US Census Bureau).
Quite a shocking statistic, by the way. It appeals to both logos and pathos.
And, as I told Jordan: if it works better at the end, it belongs at the end.
Hey thanks Mr. Kline!
ReplyDeleteHe writes, “‘Maybe all men got one big soul ever’body’s a part of.'”(Steinbeck 31).
ReplyDeletehow do you quote something that is being said by someone? Do you have a period where the quote ends and then the " " then the citation???
Nope. No commas or periods at the end of the quotation. You would keep question marks and exclamation points, but not commas or periods.
ReplyDeleteMy paper is 7 pages- is this a problem?
ReplyDeleteFor my Gale sources, the citations given say CNSN and CPSN... are these another form of Gale? or do I need to put Gale in the citations as well?
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of comments. . .
ReplyDeleteAnyways. . .Mr. Kline. . . I was wondering if I was able to submit something else to the Oregonian. .. Because I want to but I don't know how to. . .
ReplyDelete@Shaina: I don't recognize CNSN or CPSN. If that came from a citation maker, please print it up and we'll run it by Mr. Stull. For this paper, your citation should include Gale as the database because that's where you started.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you might need to do your database citation from scratch. Here's a handy website:

@Anonymous: 7 pages is only too long if one of the pages is boring. :)
ReplyDelete@MeShine: The process you used to submit your opinion article to The Oregonian is the process you should always use. Write a really good essay, compose a really good cover letter, and send it away. Good luck!
Can we use an alternative news source for the commonplace book? Like PETA? and then find another source for the opposing view and such!?
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!!
