became filled with water, leaving only bits of high land visible. ( Hai and
Jung, The Lonely Planet, 47)

Whatever outward appeal it might have, total independence is
undesirable, unrealistic. Not one person on earth can do everything or
known everything. Just as we are dependent on air, sun, food and
water for life, so too, we need other person and what they can do for
us if we are to benefit from life and to enjoy it. (Choosing, 1979, p. 1)
14. 2. If you are using more than one source by the same author published
in the same year, add a letter after a year to identify the source. The
source will use the same letter on your references page.

unrealistic. No one person on earth can do everything or known everything.
(Choosing, 1979a, p.1)
15. QUOTATIONS GUIDELINES

people…” (321)

Vietnamese people…” (p. 321)

16. 3. For very long (three lines or more) quotations, start on the next line. Indent left
and right margins, and write in single space. DO NOT USE quotation marks
anymore.
◦ In his book,”Freedom” (2012) Franz declared:
When I first started working for my employers, they subjected my honesty to
a series of tests without my knowledge. As I later came to know, I passed. As a
result, I have been entrusted with more responsibility and freedom and the
owners have rewarded me for my honesty. I know that there are other people
who could do my job better than I can and who are certainly cleverer than I am.
However, I think my job has been secure of the trust my employers have in me
(p.157)
4. Follow every quotation with a note in parentheses that, for print sources
(whether hard copy or electronic copy), give the last name of the author and the
page number, separated by comma.
“The members of the Provisional Government, representing the whole
Vietnamese people….” (Cau, 122).
17. 5. Use short form title of the article, journal, or book if there is no author.
6. For interviews and personal communications, give the name of the person
interviewed or from whom the communication was received.
◦ “We set limits, but we also granted freedoms, gradually. The better our children handled those
freedoms, the more we received.” (Franz, interview, 23 August 2016).
7. For sources taken from a web page, cite the URL in the brackets and the date
when you accessed the web page.
◦ “All religions have a constitutional right to freedom of worship, so the government has a moral
obligation not to discriminate in religious matters.”
