The following excerpt is from “Hitting Trees with Sticks” by Jane Rogers (published in 2010). In this passage, the speaker, an o

lder woman named Celia Benson, arrives home from an outing. She has just walked by two children at play, one of whom is methodically hitting a tree with a stick. Read the passage carefully. Write a paragraph in which you make a defensible claim regarding how Rogers uses a first-person point of view to express Celia’s complex perspective. In your paragraph, you should incorporate at least one piece of evidence from the text to support your claim.

Response:

Jane ensures that Celia's own voice is present in the dialogue and her internal conversations.

Clarification:

The initial section of the passage allows Jane Rogers to convey Celia's intricate viewpoints through her statement, "Hitting trees makes me think of the way they sometimes feed remains of animals to the same species - pigs, for example."

The narrative consistently showcases Celia's self-dialogue, reinforcing that the author employs a first person perspective, which aids readers in understanding her complex thoughts.

Which example uses an in-text citation correctly, according to MLA
Leya [7781]

The instance that correctly employs an in-text citation as per MLA guidelines is:

D. Nutritionist Soon-yu Kim refers to whole foods as the "cornerstone of a healthy diet" (23)

MLA format utilizes the author-page citation style, necessitating the author's surname alongside the page number. If the author's name is included within the text, only the page number should appear in parentheses at the sentence's conclusion. This explains why A is incorrect because it redundantly repeats the author's name, and C incorrectly positions the page number near the author's name.
