Grammar #4

As I have been doing my rhetorical essay I was unsure if I should put quotation marks or italicize the title of the essay I writing about. This is the answer I found out on Yahoo Answers (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090423012200AAhZVGf)

You use quotation marks to set off certain titles, usually those of minor or short works -- essays, short stories, short poems, songs, articles in periodicals, etc. For titles of longer works and separate publications, you should use italics (or underlined, if italics are not available).

Use italics for titles of books, magazines, periodicals, newspapers, films, plays, long poems, long musical works, and television and radio programs.
