Need help with essay format?
“Two quotations per body paragraph, inset on the left if three typed lines or more.”
I don’t understand how to inset a quotation over three lines to the left. I know what it means, but how do I format it properly? Is it like a seperate paragraph inside the paragraph? I’ve had to do this on other essays but I still don’t understand exatly how to do it.

I’ll try to show you what it would look like here
…..but I’m not sure if the spacing will hold
…..when I submit this. But if it does, this is
…..what your inset paragraph would look like.
After your quote, you go back to the regular left hand margin.
But if it’s only a word or two (Spock, The Little One, p 69) you either put your reference into the paragraph or1 (that should be superscript but I can’t do it on Yahoo) and give the reference in a footnote or an endnote.
Does that help?
Okay. I tried sending it and Yahoo won’t transmit the spacing I put in, so I’ve put five dots in front of the line to indicate where the spaces would go. Just pretend the dots aren’t there and you can see how the indentation works.
good luck and i hope that i helped
