Feedback on preliminary bibliography

Hi, Lilliemer8519! Thanks for posting your bibliography, even though it was late; these look like promising sources. Based on this, I see a few MLA details that you need to grasp sometime before you write your thesis. First, please review how to format citations for journal articles; the abbreviations "vol." and "no." are used rather than parentheses/colons, and the year goes at the end. See: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/07/ Also, take care to insert periods after punctuation, e.g. "p.34" should be "p. 34." Finally, whenever you cite an online source, you need to include more info, including a DOI or URL and (ideally) the date when you accessed the source. Please see the examples here for guidance: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/ If you have any questions about this, or anything else, please let me know. Happy writing!
