“My Dear, Loving Husband” Example: Source’s title: “To My Dear and Loving Husband” “To My Loving Husband” “To My Dear Husband” “My Dear, Loving Husband” These are not accurate!

Word to the Wise Do not put the title of your own essay in quotations This is wrong Maria Smith Butler Eng 1113 5 May 2006 “Immorality in America”

This is correct. . . Maria Smith Butler Eng 1113 5 May 2006 Immorality in America

How to develop your own essay title Be creative and to the point Example: The purpose of your essay is to show how cloning is unethical.

These titles are bland. . . “Cloning” “Ethics of Cloning” “Morals and Cloning”

These titles are enticing. . . “Eggs and Stem Cells: The Unethical Frontier” “Cloning: A Pandora’s Box”

Summary of Rules Capitalize the first word and all other major words. Either use italicizing or quotations with a title depending upon the source. Do not use underlining or quotation marks for your own titles. If citing another source within your own title, use either italicizing or quotations depending upon that source.

In other words, Titles introduce an author’s work. . . handle with care.
