<p>For a title of an essay (not for college), I'm drawing from the name of a book, so I would put the name of the book in quotes in the title, right? But then, I am adding a word within the name of the book, so should I put that in paranthesis or what: here's an example of what I mean:</p>
<p>"A Series of (Fortunate) Unfortunate Events"</p>
<p>or should it be italicized b/c it is book series...</p>
<p>what do I do with the word 'fortunate'?</p>
<p>It doesn't need to be in quotes if it's a play on the name of the book...which I'm assuming it is</p>
<p>A teacher once told me that b/c it is the title of someone else's famous work, I need to put it in quotes or italicize it or whatever.....</p>
<p>that's if you're refering to the book. since you're changing it around it doesn't need to be. However, if you refer to it in the essay, it should be italicized.</p>
<p>okay...and I have another question...I'm doing a similar thing for a newspaper article...and in the paper don't they normally italicize the reference in the title...?</p>
<p>bump......</p>
