Here is an example of what I want to see in your essay in terms of citation, citation format and analysis. Imagine this in the body of your essay.

Unlike her family, Laura does not believe that there should be a separation between the people of the upper class and the lower class. For example, when she meets the workmen, she is drawn to them and even thinks, "Why couldn't she have workmen for friends rather than the silly boys she danced with and who came to Sunday night supper? She would get on much better with men like these." (A Beka Book's World Literature, The Garden Party, 15) This passage reveals several important things about Laura. First of all, it reveals that Laura, unlike Jose and her mother, is capable of seeing the humanity of the workmen; they are not animals or things, they are humans. Furthermore, she genuinely likes them and wants to be friends with them. It is clear from this passage that although Laura is aware of a division between the upper and lower class, she wishes that it wasn't there.
