In-Text/ Parenthetical Citation confusion

Question

What would my parenthetical citation look like if my excerpt was from the end of page 129 to the start of page 130?

Example book: The Outsiders by S.E Hinton

My guess: (Hinton 129-130)

Is this grammatically correct or is there another answer?

Answer 1

Yes, this is the correct way to cite if you are using MLA style! If you were to be using APA style, which I'm not sure why you'd be for a literature citation like The Outsiders, but in case you needed to know, the APA style would be:

(Hinton, 1967, p. 129-130)

Answer 2

Your guess is correct! The parenthetical citation for an excerpt from the end of page 129 to the start of page 130 of "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton would be:

(Hinton 129-130)
