Description from the creator

It's not much different than other videos out there, but it shows the MLA 8 style (which is to indent block quotes half an inch, not a full inch anymore). CORRECTION: MLA 8 says to use block quotes for quotations "longer than four lines."

Please forgive any stumbling. I'm still getting used to making videos. :)
