Blog 33

Finally, I finished my paper today. However, there are still a lot of problems in my essay. I still have a lot of work need to do.
First thing is I still not complete understand about how to cite. I read the OWL, but it cannot explain all my questions. This is my first time to work on a MLA style, the cite rules are completely different than APA style. Another problem is I cannot remember all essays that I read when I write my paper. When I began the cite sheet, I only can find part of those articles, but not all of them. Some information in my paper appears in different essays. I think I mixed them together and put in my essay. When I did the cite sheet, I do not know which essay I should cite because those information come from different place, but I put them in one sentences.
I also need to find more examples to support my essay. It seems that I used all things that I found in the draft one, and my paper is only about four pages long. I believe that I can find more details about MJ’s plastic surgery and other actors’ surgeries. I’m not a MJ fan, but think I will turn to be his fan after this paper~~ I hope that I can find more articles for my paper. For now, most sources come from internet, and I cannot know are those websites talks truth or not. Most website does not care what they talk about; they only want let people read their websites.

  1. I have a big problem about citing as well. MLA is very different from APA; however, MLA seems more simple than APA because it does not need a front page. I hope I could get used to one of them.

  2. Sonofcitationmachine.net is a good place to start. I think that is how you spell it but it citates it for you.
