Question for $500Question for $500Does this quote need a citation?
Wright states, “This apparently laissez-faire attitude to tourist movements supports the image of freedom and self-expression but seems strange given that in Walt Disney World there is an extensive ‘back-stage’ area where the magic is rationally prepared, where devices are created that will direct and instruct the tourists imagination and from which guests are typically excluded. Yet, there are few ‘cast-only’ signs, indicating to tourists that this area is off-limits.”
Answer for $500Answer for $500
Yes, the quotation needs cited so that readers can follow up on this research. In MLA:
Wright, Chris. “Natural and Social Order in Walt Disney World: The Functions and Contradictions of Civilising Nature.” Sociological Review 54.2 (2006): 303-317.
Question for $500Question for $500 Does this need a citation? This is the epitome of the rationalized use of space
envisioned by modernist architects and urban planners such as Le Corbusier, collecting out of sight the complex utilities necessary for the functioning of a major city (equivalent in space to a large metropolis, Disney World employs over 50,000 people and is visited by anywhere from 20,000 to 120,000 on a given day).
Answer for $500Answer for $500 Yes, the complex wording would suggest that the
writer consulted a source. In fact this is a direct quote.
MLA:
Pike, David L. “The Walt Disney World Underground.” Space and Culture 8.1 (2005): 47-65.
Question for $500Question for $500
: If you were going to use the “Fun Facts of Walt Disney World” web site, http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/WDW/Secrets.html, would you site it with the title and URL only?
Answer for $500Answer for $500 No, the correct citation in MLA would be
Shaw, T.R. “Fun Facts of Walt Disney World.” 15 Aug. 2007. http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/WDW/Secrets.html.
One would also be careful using this site, as it is not as scholarly or credentialed as other sites on the topic. It is also difficult to ascertain the currency.

Note that many of these choices may seem unimportant. But ultimately they lead to better grades, better schools of higher education, better jobs, better reputation, better salaries, etc.
Good choices in these areas do equal more money!!!!
