2. MLA vs. APA

the Modern Language Association (MLA), is the principal professional

association in the United States for scholars of language and literature.

The MLA aims to "strengthen the study and teaching of language

and literature. "

 

APA style is a format for academic documents such as journal articles

and books. It is codified in the style guide of the American Psychological

Association (APA), titled the Publication Manual of the American

Psychological Association. The APA states that the guidelines were

developed to assist reading comprehension in the social and behavioral

sciences, for clarity of communication, and for "word choice that best

reduces bias in language". APA style is widely used, either entirely or

with modifications, by hundreds of other scientific journals (including

medical and other public health journals), in many textbooks, and in

academia (for papers written in classes).

 

 

3. Andrew Marvell

 

Andrew Marvell was an English metaphysical poet, satirist and

politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times

between 1659 and 1678. His poems range from the love-song

"To His Coy Mistress", to evocations of an aristocratic country

house and garden in "Upon Appleton House" and "The Garden",

the political address "An Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return

from Ireland", and the later personal and political satires "Flecknoe"

and "The Character of Holland".

 

 To His Coy Mistress

"To His Coy Mistress" is a metaphysical poem written by the English

author and politician Andrew Marvell (1621–1678) either during or

just before the English Interregnum (1649–60).

This poem is considered one of Marvell's finest and is possibly the

best recognized carpe diem poem in English.

 

carpe diem (及時行樂)

Carpe diem is a Latin aphorism, usually translated "seize the day",

taken from book 1 of the Roman poet Horace's work Odes (23 BC).
