Dialogue begins with a capitalized word, no matter where in the sentence it begins. (Interrupted dialogue, when it resumes, is not capped.) Only direct dialogue requires quotation marks. Direct dialogue is someone speaking.

If the author appears as “Anonymous,” cite the in-text citation as “Anonymous” followed by the year. If you decide to use an author’s work that you find in another author’s work (but you have not read the original source), in text you will want to name the original work and give a citation for the secondary source.

When you paraphrase a poem, use your own words to explain the major ideas line-by-line. The goal is to rephrase the ideas in your own words without evaluating or addressing the author’s hidden messages or underlying themes. A paraphrased poem is a literal translation in regular prose without rhyme or meter.

First, an analysis needs the paraphrasing to properly examine the content in conversational tone. Secondly, it is important because paraphrasing allows the reader to test their understanding of the poem. Thus, paraphrasing can help ensure the complete meaning, if not the actual words, is properly transcribed.
