If the author name is mentioned before a direct quote the name should be included in the citation

It depends on the format. I know for MLA format which a lot of middle and high schoolers use for English, the author's name goes in with the page number citation when there are multiple authors for one book.

Ex: "direct quote" (author's name 99).

But, if you are setting up a signal phrase with context, the author's name goes before your quote with the page number after. You could also simply say "the author says" as long as you've included the author's name prior to the quote and signal phrase.

Ex: When she ate an apple in the garden, author''s name narrates, "direct quote" (99).

I hope this helped. Also, here is a website I use that states rules for the format you are using for your writing assignment! https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_style_introduction.html

Read the passage, in which Mark Antony delivers his funeral speech for Julius Caesar: A theme Antony conveys in his funeral spee

Trava [24]

I haven't a full answer for you, but here's how I'd suggest you start it:

There's clear evidence of your theme in the lines "When the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept."

Reason being: Brutus only told (verbally) the people that Caesar was ambitious, giving no examples that are actual proof of how the great Julius Caesar acted. However, Mark Antony states right off the bat of what Caesar had done in his life-time. Antony decidedly debunks Brutus of any honourable traits as he continues with his Eulogy, as the more Antony says Brutus is "honourable," the more it is hypocritically placed. (What I'm trying to say here is the more Antony says Brutus is honourable, it actually counter-intuitive, Antony is trying to take away any honour the horrible man had.)

Make a post of an English book you’re currently reading:

Lostsunrise [7]

Title : Then She Was Gone

Genre : Thriller

Author : Lisa Jewell

Overview: A look into family drama after a young girl went missing.

Recommended/ Not recommended: Would definitely recommend ! This book keeps you on your toes and the characters thoughts are very complex. I am personally someone who finds it hard to finish a book all the way through, but this one I finished with ease.

Ryan had never been turkey hunting before. Today was to be the first day that Ryan ever went turkey hunting. He got up early wit

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is C: the fact that this is the first day Ryan has ever been turkey hunting.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the excerpt, the author mentions that this is the first day Ryan has ever been turkey hunting. After describing the setting (when he got up, where they went, what they did, etc.), the author mentions again the fact that Ryan has never been turkey hunting and says this is his first time. Therefore, it should be removed from the second part of the excerpt.
