Exclamations
When the sentence you wish to quote is exclamatory, you put a comma after the introduction you wrote, and the exclamation
point goes inside the quotation marks at the end of the exclamation. A period still goes after the citation.
Example 1: In the book, the teacher fumes, “I can’t believe what I am hearing!” (Strickland 17).
Put the correct punctuation and citation in the following sentences.
1. “The Angry Girl” by Martha Stewart, page 9
The narrator sharply replied You can never make me do it
2. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, page 18
Lenny exclaimed No, George, put down the rabbit

introduction to use (The author states/The narrator exclaims/The author asks) and what sort of punctuation you should use.
