No sure how to indent, analytical bibliograpy MLA format.
Okay, so here's what I have, I know how to write it, I'm just not sure how to indent.
It's in MLA format, the citation is first, then the summary, and then I have to put my analysis. My trouble is figuring out where to indent. I don't know if the first line of the citation is indented then the second one not, and then for beginning the summary, I don't know where to indent either. I'm all mixed up, I have six of these to do and I just need help knowing where to indent.
Here's what I have so far.
MLA (MY NAME)
Should smoking be banned on (my) campus?

Just indent them like regular paragraphs. The only time you indent more than that is when you have a quote that is more than 4-6 (I can't remember the exact number) lines long. Since you aren't deal with a quote, then you don't have to worry about special indentations.

Well I was told to indent the second line of the citation so that it kind of "hangs off of the first line" but I'm not sure how to indent the summary because on the example we have in our packet, it has the first line indented. ANd then he said that he example was wrong, but I don't remember how. I just think that If I were to indent the second line of the citation, and then the first line of the summary it would look goofy. =/

Well, you could try Easy Bib and have it generate it for you, that's what I used in college.

Oh that's not the problem, I have CitationMachine that does my bibliography for me. I just need to write a summary and analysis for it and I don't know how to indent those. That's what's confusing me.

Okay, I didn't read your question I just assumed it was about MLA bibliographies because they make sense to none. Anyway, citing the source in the actual paper is weird, it's usually in an appendix, but they do change the MLA format every six months it seems so I don't know. Anyway, I would assume you indent the first paragraph of actual writing.
