Annotated Bibliography in MLA Style

This posts serves as my annotated bibliography for all my previous posts concerning the debate about whether to obtain a Creative Writing MFA. I used the MLA citation style.

To view an example of MLA style writing, you can go to pages 111-113 in Student's Guide to First-Year Writing.

EDIT:
For this reflection I read Samantha's blog, who also wrote in MLA style and Hallye, who wrote in Chicago Manual style. I wrote in MLA style like Samantha so our citations were almost exactly alike. Her summaries were a little more detailed and lengthy so I wish I added a couple more sentences but I think I did a good job of summarizing without being too long. Hallye also did a really good job following her example. It's interesting that different fields have different citation styles but I guess each one is designed to accustom the field's needs, hence why they are so many.

  1. Reading your bibliography is normal to me, as I was taught MLA format in high school almost exclusively. My annotated bibliography was done in AAA style, and is somewhat similar but also very different. You seem to have gotten the style down correctly in every way so good job!

  2. After reading your bibliography it seems like you know what you were doing. One thing I would suggest is maybe going into more depth on how you are going to use it in your QRG. Other than that it looks great good luck on your qrg

  3. I cited my sources in MLA format and the only thing I found curious about your sources was the additional inclusion of the url. It isn't harmful it include it, but it isn't required and I was just wondering why you were compelled to include it in the document; even more curious, you did not include one for the final source you included. Everything else was very spot on and perfectly formatted (from what I could tell). Good job!
