Citing Multiple paragraphs MLA
Had a quick question about how I should cite with multiple paragraphs (MLA).
Here is how the text appears in the source (The Great Gatsby):
'An Oxford man!' He was incredulous. 'Like hell he is! He
wears a pink suit.'
'Nevertheless he's an Oxford man.'
'Oxford, New Mexico,' snorted Tom contemptuously, 'or
something like that'.
Would I cite it like this:
... with the following exchange: "'An Oxford man!' He was incredulous. 'Like hell he is! He wears a pink suit'. 'Nevertheless he's an Oxford man'. 'Oxford, New Mexico,' snorted Tom contemptuously, 'or something like that'."
Or would I use a block quotation like this:
... with the following exchange:
'An Oxford man!' He was incredulous. 'Like hell he is! He
wears a pink suit.'
'Nevertheless he's an Oxford man.'
'Oxford, New Mexico,' snorted Tom contemptuously, 'or
something like that'.
Thanks for the help!
