What is the prefix for appear

there are not supposed to be quotations (¨ ¨) from an mla citation in a paper. if there was an author then the author´s last name should be in the parentheses instead. if it is a book, the page numbers hould be listed after the last name.

let´s use the book ¨to kill a mockingbird¨ by harper lee as an example:

"atticus finch is the same in his house as he is on the public streets¨ (lee 46).

hope this !
