Tuesday, 10/2 - Citing Sources

*P&P

*Citing sources in an electronic institution can be tricky. My citations will be page number first and line number second, since the eBook doesn't have line numbers. Typically, though, poems with parts and line numbers would look like this: When Homer first introduces Helen, she is sitting "in her rooms . . . / weaving a growing web, a dark red folding robe, / working into the weft the endless bloody struggles / . . . suffered all for her at the god of battle's hands" (3.150-54). I will parenthetically cite page number first (132.150-54) with lines following so those with the "real" book can locate with precision, the precision of an Achillean-hurled bronze-tipped spear.

*Take a look at Book 3 discussion points and know how to answer them. Discuss Book 4.

HW: read up through Book 10.
