I am writing an essay about the book Lord of the Flies, I am quoting Jack, one of the main characters in the book. This is what I have:
Jack represents human’s capacity for evil. In the beginning, he desired peace and order like the civilized English boy that he was, “I agree with Ralph. We’ve got to have rules and obey them. After all, we’re not savages. We’re English, and the English are best at everything. So we’ve got to do the right things.” (42).
42 is the page number.
That part of my essay is in the body paragraph. I already put what the title is and who wrote it in the introduction paragraph since the whole essay is about the book. So is just putting the page number like that the correct way to put a character quote? Also, are there any grammar mistakes?
