Note: If page numbers from original appear in coursepak version, use page numbers for parenthetical citations.

Example:

            In Patricia Engel’s “Green,” the narrator introduces the girl who hated her in high school, and the theme of jealousy, through the title but also the opening lines of the story: “Your mom just called to tell you that Maureen, the girl who tortured you from kindergarten to high school, who single-handedly made it so that you were never welcome in Girl scouts, soccer, or yearbook, is dead” (47).  Engel’s vivid use of physical description reminds the reader of the intensity of high school meanness (“your skin was the color of diarrhea”[47]), but her use of the second person creates distance and ironic humor to the detail.

 You must use parenthetical documentation for each quotation you use and put a works cited entry at the end of your essay.
