Any material you borrow from the text needs to be in quotation marks. You also need to use the author's last name in either the signal phrase before the quote or in the parenthetical reference after the quote. Refer to the Quotes and Signal Phrases handout for rules/samples on how to properly document quotes from an electronic source using MLA style.
