I was wondering about the internal citations. I seem to can't get it right. I'm doing a rhetorical analysis on "A Modest Proposal", by the author Jonathon Swift, and I retreived the article from a web site. Since there aren't technically page numbers, but I do cite the paragraphs but my instructor said I didn't do them correctly. I'm not sure what to do..

@kaykanysha -->> when you say that you "retrieved the article," could you supply some information about the article you retrieved--author, title, date, web url. Thanks.

what if you are using endnotes? does that take care of the bibliography or do you have to do it twice? plz answer

@stargirlsusan -- Star, endnotes in MLA do NOT replace in-text citations or the Works Cited page. Endnotes are ONLY supplemental explanations. Please see section 4.5 in MLA 7th edition, p. 230. Good luck and thanks for the good words!

When citing a definition from a textbook, do we start a signal phrase with the authors name or the textbook name?

@loyantekittay -- a signal phrase is always a good idea in order to provide flow. Since it is a definition from a text, I doubt that the author's name is necessary.
