5. What did you lose where? What did I lose? Where did I lose it?
Can I be more specific?
Now, doesn’t that help you find it?
Directions given in logical order prevents confusion and helps you find it

6. What did you find where? Importance of In-Text (Parenthetical) Citations
Remember when I needed you to find what I lost, but you needed more information? It’s the same with citing! Your reader wants to know what you found and where you found it.
Which bit did you find somewhere?
In which source did you find it?
Where in that source did you find it?
Proper formatting narrows it down in logical order and prevents confusion while helping the reader locate the information.
But why would someone want to find the information I used in my paper?
To verify source information
To see the information in context
To find out more

7. To Cite or Not To Cite? That is the Question!
You MUST Cite…
Direct Quotations
Paraphrasing(s)
Dictionary definitions
Information taken directly from a text, audio, visual, physical, or online source
Any idea, word, phrase, chart, picture, song, sound, etc. that you did not come up with on your own
You do NOT have to Cite…
Ideas and arguments that are your own, from your own mind
Visual and audio material that you made yourself, without using anything (lyrics, beats, characters, visual aids, etc.) from anyone else
General Information that may be found in at least three (3) publicly accessible sources (encyclopedias, websites, textbooks, etc.) that is NOT a direct quotation or paraphrase: this type of information is considered “common knowledge” and does not have to be cited
When in doubt – cite it!

8. Cite It! What and How:
In John Milton’s Paradise Lost, Satan undergoes a physical devolution as he falls deeper into sin and rebellion, starting out as bright angel in heaven, turning into a “beautiful, man-like figure, damaged by his sin” after his fall, to a more bestial creature as he tempts Eve, and then is finally changed into a “serpent” by God’s own hand as punishment for bringing about Man’s downfall. In the Harry Potter series, Tom Riddle AKA Lord Voldemort undergoes a similar devolution of physical appearance as he commits more and more murders, as he becomes more evil. He starts out as a good-looking boy, “his handsome father in miniature,” but as he delves deeper into the realms of dark magic and murder he grows “less human” with the passing years until his face, at least, eventually transforms into the terrifying “snake-like” visage that young Harry encounters repeatedly throughout the series.
