Grammar, Usage / How do I show that someone is speaking the quotation I have in my essay? [4]
For example, I have this quotation.. "I was getting quite cold. I couldn't do anything about it but it was driving me crazy! I had to do something about it." (Smith 11) Bobby being the narrator, by the way.. So, how would I show that Bobby was saying that? Would I do this?
[Bobby] "I was getting quite cold..." (Smith 11)
Please help in telling me if what I have just above here is correct, or maybe do I put his name in square brackets within the quotation marks at the beginning, at the end, or outside of the quotation marks at the end. Your help is appreciated!
