Which of these in-text citations are formatted correctly

Oduvanchick [21]

Lidz, Franz. "Revenge of the Vikings." Smithsonian 1 Mar. 2014 44-49. Print.

The correct citation for a Works Cited page begins with the author's name, last name first. Then the title of the article. After the title of the periodical followed by the date and page numbers. In most Works Cited entries, the author's last name is first followed by the title. Just knowing this gets us to the correct answer immediately.

FYI - These are not in-text citations. An in-text citation for this source would be (Lidz 45), if the information was found on page 45.

Why do writers still employ archetypes today?

Sliva [168]

The reason why writers still use Character archetypes is because they have been working since ancient times and still work.

think about it, you have probably heard of these character descriptions in every great book/story/movie.

Shapeshifter- the character that can change turn into something (AKA the werewolf and that pirate from the pirates of a Caribbean) or just go from good to evil or evil to good.

The Hero- no explanation needed

the trickster-A character for comic relief and to cause mischief

The guardians threshold- basically henchmen and stop the hero from moving on there journey

the Herald- the person/object that gets the hero to go on a journey

the mentor- the person that teaches the hero about the world. Also trains the hero

the shadow- the main villain that the hero has to defeat.

Also there is the monomyth that is the story structure. But you just wanted to know about character archetypes. BTW what class is this in, (and the grade level), I have always been interested in this.

Read the sentence below about the Chicago fire of 1871. Schaffer told someone else to strike the wrong alarm box and that caused

Lostsunrise [7]

Schaffer mistakenly told his assistant to strike alarm Box 342, and as a result, firefighters were directed to an incorrect location during the Chicago fire of 1871.

This is the best example of adding concrete details. It specifically says which alarm box Schaffer told his assistant. The original sentence makes it seem as the miscommunication was the big problem. While it was a problem, the fact that the firefighters went to the incorrect location is really the reason the Chicago fire of 1871 was so devastating. Including these details makes the writing much clearer and easier for the reader to follow.
