This task is given by my teacher Megha Trivedi in which we have give book review and as a example we have to give five citation or resource we use for documentation.
I am reviewing book The Only Story by Julian Barnes
The Only Story to which Barnes alludes is, of course, the story of love. And for good or ill, Everybody has such a story to tell. In the end, it reveals itself as the thing that. Most importantly, that has had the greatest impact, changing or transforming the course of a life. Written many years later, it is Paul’s attempt to convey his own ‘only’ story, with Susan. Lest the reader has high expectations of atmospheric scene-setting, he cautions: “I’m remembering the past, not reconstructing it I’m not trying to spin you a story; I’m trying to tell you the truth.” It is the most explicit reference to the realism this novel embraces, stripped of sentimentality and most self-pity, at times uncomfortable yet never self-indulgently plain.
The Only Story comes from its psychological acuity, especially about how we remember. In Paul’s narrative, experiences deconstruct themselves and personalities decay in a devastatingly convincing way. It all seems terribly sad, and horribly true: a definitive account of how romantic love becomes trapped in its own frame and empties itself of color and meaning.
Documentation
Nearly all research builds on previous research. Researchers com- monly begin a project by studying past work on their topics and de- riving relevant information and ideas from their predecessors. This process is largely responsible for the continual expansion of human knowledge. In presenting their work, researchers generously acknowledge their debts to predecessors by carefully documenting each source, so that earlier contributions receive appropriate credit and readers can evaluate the basis for claims and conclusions.
As you prepare your paper, you should similarly seek to build on the work of previous writers and researchers. And whenever you draw on another's work, you must also document your source by indicat- ing what you borrowed-whether facts, opinions, or quotations-and where you borrowed it from. Through documentation, you will pro- vide your readers with a description of key features of each source (such as its authorship and its medium of publication). Documenta- tion also assists readers in locating the sources you used. Cite only the sources you have consulted directly. If you have not already done so, read carefully the earlier section on plagiarism (ch. 2) to learn what you must document in your paper.
In MLA documentation style, you acknowledge your sources by key- ing brief parenthetical citations in your text to an alphabetical list of works that appears at the end of the paper. The parenthetical citation that concludes the following sentence is typical of MLA style.
The aesthetic and ideological orientation of jazz underwent considerable scrutiny in the late 1950s and early 1960s (Anderson 7).
The citation "(Anderson 7)" tells readers that the information in the sentence was derived from page 7 of a work by an author named An- derson. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the works-cited list, where, under the name Anderson, they would find the following information.
