Homer writes that the men’s oars “sent the white foam scuddling by” (38).

This is all about the punctuation. Where does the period go? Think about a period as way for the reader to know where one idea stops and another begins. The citation (38) must be included as part of the sentence with the quotation it cites, so the period needs to occur after the citation. Otherwise it is floating around without a home. A comma is not needed at the end of the quoted material before the quotation marks.

The in-text citation that is formatted correctly in MLA style is the first example - Homer writes that the men's oars "sent the white foam scuddling by" (38).
The full stop goes after the number and the brackets.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
