MLA 8 vs MLA 7: What you need to know! - 32 views

  • 2. Inclusion of “containers” in citations. Containers are the elements that “hold” the source. For example, if a television episode is watched on Netflix, Netflix is the container. Both the title of the source and its container are included in a citation.
    • Clint Heitz
       
      This could be a massive help! With documentaries and interviews available on so many streaming sources, adding the container will be much more specific and useful.

Now, there is one standard, universal format that researchers can use to create their citations

  • Faced with the difficulties of building to unprecedented heights, the engineers employed an innovative structural model: a rigid "hollow tube" of closely spaced steel columns with floor trusses extended across to a central core. The columns, finished with a silver-colored aluminum alloy, were 18 3/4" wide and set only 22" apart, making the towers appear from afar to have no windows at all.

  • When exposed to the high temperatures created by burning airplane fuel, steel columns in both towers lost strength, putting too much load on other structural supports.

      Proof for claim the the building's structure could not actually maintain its integrity.
  • When exposed to the high temperatures created by burning airplane fuel, steel columns in both towers lost strength, putting too much load on other structural supports.
  • Center towers lost strength rapidly when the fire reached 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Concrete heated to that temperature, though, doesn’t undergo significant physical or chemical changes; it maintains most of its mechanical properties. In other words, concrete is virtually fireproof.
    • dawnprovost
       
      Supports other article that explains the difference between temperature and heat.
