"ref." ?


Question Posted Sunday February 3 2008, 1:52 pm

I'm trying to correct a book-analysis that I got back, and in it I wrote "He is given a second chance, when a butcher accidentally saves him, and manages to find enthusiasm for life."

Now next to this sentence my teacher wrote "ref." and marked the space in between "and" and "manages" (i hope that makes sense for you guys, haha!)

Now I think she means a word is missing between those two words, and I guess spontantiously I would add "then" there.. but since she said "ref" which Im guessing stands for "reference" I think she might mean that I should add "he" or "Archie" (which is his name)

What do you think it should be? W´hich is gramatically fitting? And if it should be a refernce to who it is that gained enthusiasm for life, should I write out his name or just settle for "he".

Thank you if you know! I have to give in the corrected and graded version of my essay tomorrow, otherwise I wouldn't have hassle dyou with it!

Are you doing in text citation or footnotes? I'm guessing that she meant PAGE REFERENCE. She wants to know where the action of his life being saved took place in the book.

If you aren’t referencing your work I must be wrong, however, I would bet good money I'm right.
