Foreshadowing
After finishing 1984 it is crazy how many times Orwell uses foreshadowing in his writing and it all comes together in the end although I must say that the end was kind of a let down for me. Anyways book three makes you realize so much about society and the character of many of the characters in the book. The quote that says "sanity is not statistical" plays a huge role in what happens!
STARIHA! I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU! OR SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER THIS..
I hope the all caps title caught your attention because I have a quick question(s).
I have 2 quotes from the same website so I was trying to put them together or whatever and I don't know how to cite it.
I tried looking it up but I can't find it.
My first quote is "Children of parents who smoke have more colds, flues, ear infections and asthma attacks."
And the second is "Smoking while pregnant increases the risk of miscarriage."
So do I put it like this?:
"Children of parents who smoke have more colds, fules, ear infections and asthma attacks...[and] Smoking while pregnant increases the risk of miscarriage."
Is the dot dot dot right?
And should I insert the word "and"?
If so did I correctly cite it when inserting a word?
And should "Smoking" be capitalized since it is the beginning word of the quote or is it not capitalized because I am putting it together with another quote?
I hope this makes sense. :(

Crazy Stuff on MLA
Hey you no longer need the URL in citations! Check out the Purdue website to make sure you haven't missed any other changes in MLA.
