Question: MLA form in text citations!?
I am finshing up a paper and need help with in paper citations!.
I understand when citing at the end of a sentence that does not list an author I need to list the first word of the title of the article!. ( Penguin text pg 253 eg 6) What happens when you have several articles that start with the same word ( 3 articles to be exact and they all start with "Natural")!.
Any help would be so appreciated!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You need to provide the whole title of each article, not just the first word!. This will eliminate any confusion on the part of the reader about which article you are citing in that sentence!. (And don't forget to put the title in quotes!)

E!.g!.:
("Natural Foods" 3)
("Natural Health" 2)
("Natural Resources for the Healthy Person" 4)Www@QuestionHome@Com
