Avoid using online sources to complete Literary Analysis Worksheets. Instead, I recommend you use the information from Canvas, our class discussion, and your own analysis of the story. If you feel you must use a web source, make sure to properly cite all quoted and paraphrased information with APA in-text citation (7th edition). All quoted information must also be presented with a signal phrase and in-text citation.
