Paper #1 due IN-CLASS on Tuesday and MLA references

Remember that Paper #1 is due in-class on Tuesday (not at 5pm, which I also stated on the handout for some reason).  Below are the MLA/Quotation handouts for your reference. Please remember to cite properly when introducing other voices into your conversation. Good luck! 

Using Quotes in your paper:

“A photograph such as this one, where time has stopped on an ordinary scene full of innuendoes, partakes of the infinite.”

The Quotation Sandwich: Introduction + Quotation + Response

As Simic writes, “A photograph such as this one, where time has stopped on an ordinary scene full of innuendoes, partakes of the infinite” (578).

OR

In “The Life of Images,” Simic notes that “A photograph such as this one, where time has stopped on an ordinary scene full of innuendoes, partakes of the infinite” (578).

Then, Respond...

In other words, when we look at a photograph without context, there’s no limit to what it could be, or not be.  Only our imagination limits its possibilities as we try to piece together the clues and innuendoes.  Thus, even the most obvious picture becomes infinite, not only in its possible meanings, but in its ability to exist forever outside of the original event.  It is now literally eternal, and each new viewer can decide for him or herself what it means or expresses.
