Don't begin by quoting the assignment sheet or indicating which topic you're writing about.i.e., "A Perfect Day For Banana Fish" can become "Banana Fish." If the title is very long and you are making numerous references to it, you can refer to it by a shortened version. In subsequent references to the author, use his or her last name.(Titles of stories, essays and poems are in "quotation marks.") Refer to the text specifically as a novel, story, essay, memoir, or poem, depending on what it is. Titles of books should be underlined or put in italics. Introduce the text you're writing about in the beginning of your essay by mentioning the author's full name and the complete title of the work. Remember, these words can begin a sentence or can connect two independent clauses using the following punctuation: "Woolf's writing can be highly sarcastic and playful however, in To The Lighthouse, the tone is somber and elegiac." Instead of "So" or "Also," use more formal phrases: "It is clear, then, that Marlow lies to himself on at least one occasion" "This passage confirms that Marlow isn't honest with himself." These are SIGNPOSTS that help the reader follow the thread of your argument.
