Its about W. E. B. DuBois and the theme of his book "The Souls of Black Folk".

Also...When you're typing something like this:

DuBois stated, “The problem with the twentieth century is the color line. Blacks have always separated themselves into contradicting personalities of being black and trying to imitate the white society” (DuBois 130).

Does the period go behind the parenthesis or in the quotations behind the word society? Or does it go behind the quotation mark but before the parenthetical citation? Thanks so much!

P.S. I know what section this is!

You're right, it goes behind the parenthesis. Trust me, I've been writing a lot of papers lately. For the title I'd just be like "(whatever the theme of the book is) in The Souls of Black Folk" I know, I'm not very creative. I just go with the plain Jane titles.

2.) After the parentheses

The period goes outside the parentesis, and so do the quotation marks. Trust me, I have sort of a fetish for english and grammar. ^^



Sorry, I'm not too good at titles.

You've got it correct. I might have put the period inside the quotation marks but I think your way is correct also.



As for the title-Don't know.

"i % to be a heterosexual because of the fact it particularly is what's envisioned" come on homosexuality you cant substitute people can love whomever they desire Homosexuality isn't a call it particularly is a existence style people won't be able to help how they experience approximately others its in comparison to somebody awakened and became like "hmmm i think of i desire to be gay!" some titles: "Anti-love" "this is the reason it suits" "go out in elementary terms" "opposites entice"

Behind the quotation. Although I must admit you're making my schizophrenia flare up.

Maybe this, "A Cultural Phenomenon" and you have the period in the correct place.

the title could be "the 20th century in black and white."
