Parenthetical+Citations

**Creating parenthetical citations: **

After each piece of information you paraphrase or quote directly, you must put information about where you got that information or you are plagiarizing. In MLA style, you put the last name of the author and the page number in parenthesis at the end of the inforamtion. If there is no author, you put the title of the work and the page number. If there is no page number, put the title only.

Example: Joe has committed no crime. He is innocent because it was proven that he was framed by another party (Humes 25).
