Following her father’s death, Ada becomes “perpetually hungry” and “frighteningly ill-prepared for the craft of subsisence” (_____).
The first quote is from page 28, and the second from page 21 - I am wondering how to cite this, whether it would be (28, 31) or (28 and 31) or (28-31).
Thanks in advance to anyone who can clarify this for me. Also, if you have a source on the Internet, I would greatly appreciate it, but if you are absolutely sure than I welcome that as well.
Answers:
I'm going to assume you are quoting someone named Gibson, and he is the only person named Gibson in your list of references. In that case, the easiest way to do the in-text citation is for you to mention Gibson:
Gibson points out that following her father's death, Ada becomes "perpetually hungry" (28) and "frighteningly ill-prepared for the craft of subsistence" (21).
I'm basing this upon Section 6.3 READABILITY of the MLA Handbook.
In your list of references, use inclusive page numbers:
Gibson ... 1997. 21-28
