Style Guides

Because I am an English student in college I have been using MLA style for the last four years. I remember learning the other styles in high school but have forgotten much about them since. Because of that, I wanted to make a blog post to practice when to use each and what their purpose is. Each style guide will contain the example of uses from the textbook, an example and an image I've created to help me remember.
