Katie, make sure that you are placing the periods after your parenthesis in in-text citations; also, you do not need to put “page” in the parenthetical citation. So it would be (344).

Silko’s opening paragraph talks about how, for Pueblo Indians, language is something very important and that stories and anecdotes lose meaning when they have been rehearsed or written down. It is the emotion in the speaker’s voice that lets the audience know how important that specific story is (369).

If she used words more unique to the field of research, she would not have appealed to the general public because the words that are used in the field have, “highly subtilized meanings, barely intelligible to anyone who had not mastered the language as a whole” making it hard for each person of the public to be able to produce their own images in their head so she just compared them (Orwell 392).
