Which quote is punctuated correctly? “…if it’s worth dying for, it’s worth living for” (mitchell, 1936, p. 296). “…if it’s worth dying for, it’s worth living for.” (mitchell, 1936) “…if it’s worth dying for, it’s worth living for (mitchell, 1936, p. 296).” “…if it’s worth dying for, it’s worth living for (mitchell, 1936)?

Answer 1

The quote that is punctuated correctly is “…if it’s worth dying for, it’s worth living for.” (Mitchell, 1936). Citing a qoute from an author must have a double apostrophe at both ends of the sentences and then followed by the author that you got. The name of the author that should be used is the last name followed by a comma, space and then the year of the cited article. A page number shall not be included because you are not writing a reference but rather, a citation.
