citing. again.

When citing many phrases from one book (specifically book 18), is it necessary to put a page number next to each phrase or can I just put book 18 as a reference at the end of the sentence along with the series of page number? ex: (bk 18, p. 483-486)

Works cited?

Do you want us to have a works cited page, even if our only source was the book?

citing

I'm always confused as to where the punctuation goes after a citation.

Like this:


Achilles slanders Agamemnon, saying “Never once did you arm with the troops and go to battle […] you lack the courage” (85).

or

Achilles slanders Agamemnon, saying “Never once did you arm with the troops and go to battle […] you lack the courage”. (85)

Long-Form Quote

Is it possible to cite a large body of text, provided that you thoroughly analyze it both rhetorically and thematically?

Another question.

If, in a single sentence, you use quotations from two different pages in the book, how do you cite that?
for example:

Homer shows that warriors are "wolves" and "mountain lions" (417, 335).

or something else?

(this is not a real sentence from my paper, just an example.) Anyone who knows or has an idea is welcome to answer. I appreciate it! Thank you :]
