In our presentation we are going to discuss Citing Periodical Print Publication (Magazine). But before we start we need to know what is periodical, which things can be called periodicals and what do we understand by magazine.
Periodical: A publication issued at regular intervals, usually monthly or weekly.

* Daily Newspapers * Monthly Magazines * Bi-Monthly (Two Months) * Quarterly (Every three months) * Semi-Annual (Every Six months)
Magazine: Magazines are publications, usually periodical publications, which are printed or published electronically. (The online versions are called online magazines.) They are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three. At its root, the word "magazine" refers to a collection or storage location. In the case of written publication, it is a collection of written articles.
Example: McEvoy, Dermot. “Little Books, Big Success.” Publishers Weekly 30 Oct. 2006: 26-28 Print.
Citing an article in a magazine using MLA:
To cite a magazine published every week or every two weeks, we have to give the full date followed by a colon, the inclusive page numbers of the article and the medium of publication consulted. If the article is not printed on consecutive pages, we have to write only the first page number with a plus (+) sign, leaving no intervening space. We should not add issue numbers even if they are listed.
To cite a magazine published every month or every two months, we should give the month or months and year. If the article is not printed on consecutive pages, we have to write only the first page number and a plus sign, leaving no intervening space. We can not use the volume and issue numbers even if they are listed.
Example: Wood, Jason. “Spellbound.” Sight and Sound Dec. 2005: 28-30. Print. Laskin, Sheldon H. “Jena: A Missed Opportunity for Healing.” Tikkun Nov. Dec. 2007: 29+. Print.
The first author's name should be reversed, with a comma being placed after the last name and a period after the first name (or any middle name). The name should not be abbreviated and should be written exactly as it appears in the magazine. Titles and affiliations associated with the author should generally be omitted. A suffix, such as a roman numeral or Jr./Sr. should appear after the author's given name, preceded by a comma.
For an article written by two or more authors, list them in order as they appear on the title page. Only the first author's name should be reversed, while the others are written in normal order. Separate author names by a comma, and place the word "and" before the last author's name. For articles with three or more authors, you may either include each author in the citation or only include the first author, followed by the abbreviation "et al."
Smith, John, Jane Doe, and Bob Anderson. "Obama inaugurated as President." Time 21 Jan. 2009: 21-23. Print.
Smith, John, et al. "Obama inaugurated as President." Time 21 Jan. 2009: 21-23. Print.
The full article title should be placed within quotations. Unless there is punctuation that ends the article title, place a period after the title within the quotations. Next, state the name of the magazine, which is italicized. Do not place any punctuation after the magazine name.
The date of the magazine article should be written in the international format (e.g. "day month year") and followed with a colon. With the exception of May, June, and July, month names should be abbreviated (four letters for September, three letters for all other months) and followed with a period. A magazine's publication date may be a complete date, a period spanning two months, a season, or just a month and year. Give whatever date information is available.
Smith, John, and Jane Doe. "Obama inaugurated as President." Time Jan. - Feb. 2009: 21-23. Print.
Smith, John, and Jane Doe. "Obama inaugurated as President." Time Winter 2009: 21-23. Print.
Smith, John, and Jane Doe. "Obama inaugurated as President." Time Jan. 2009: 21-23. Print.
Include the page numbers on which the article appears, along with a period. Cite all inclusive page numbers - if the article spans pages that are not consecutive, cite only the first page, followed by a plus sign.
Smith, John, and Jane Doe. "Obama inaugurated as President." Time 21 Jan. 2009: 21+. Print.
If no page numbers are available, include the abbreviation "n. pag." in place of page numbers.
Smith, John, and Jane Doe. "Obama inaugurated as President." Time 21 Jan. 2009: n. pag. Print.
Next cite the medium in which the article was published (e.g. Print, Web). If the medium is "Print", it should end the citation, along with a period. If the medium is "Web", also include the website name and the date on which you accessed the article online. The website name should be italicized and placed before the medium, along with a period. The accessed date should follow the medium (and be formatted using the international format of "day month year" as specified above), along with a period. For an article found in a database, cite it the same way you would an article published online: cite the medium as "Web" and place the database name in the same location as the website name.
Smith, John. "Obama inaugurated as President." Time 21 Jan. 2009: 21-23. Time.com. Web. 1 Feb. 2009.
Smith, John. "Obama inaugurated as President." Time 21 Jan. 2009: 21-23. LexisNexis. Web. 1 Feb. 2009.
If the article was published online, you may choose to include the web address of the page, but only when the reader needs the URL to access the page or otherwise required by your professor. Although MLA guidelines previously recommended including URLs in a bibliography entry, that is no longer the case. In general, URLs are subject to change and can become outdated, refer to a session in use, and be very long. Users are more likely to find an article now by searching titles or author names. If you choose to include a URL, place it after the date of access (and its subsequent period) by enclosing it in angle brackets. Place a period after the angle brackets.

Rudyard Kipling

...The Legendary Life of Rudyard Kipling Rudyard Kipling was one of the greatest writers of all time. He was a gifted writer and a huge celebrity, and has provided us with countless writings that will continue to be enjoyed by future generations. There are two perspectives when it comes to Kipling’s canonization; those that believe based solely on his writing abilities think he should be canonized, and those who saw him as an only an outspoken political figure do not. The questions surrounding his use of a swastika show him to be a possible Nazi sympathizer and curve his support of canonization. The purpose of this research paper is to provide the insight and the facts to support the stature of his writing abilities, and to prove that on the merit of his writing alone, he is a true literary canon. Despite his political incorrectness, he should be considered a talented and remarkable author based solely on his literary creativity. Kipling was born in December of 1965 in Bombay, British India; which is now known as Mumbai, India. He was an English poet, short story writer and novelist (Wikipedia). He was born to Lockwood and Alice Kipling, who were both highly respected people in their time. Kipling was in love with India and the people that inhabited it. Some of Kipling’s earliest and fondest memories are of him and his sister Alice’s trips to the bustling fruit market with their nanny, or her telling them Indian nursery rhymes and stories before their nap in the tropical afternoon...

Rudyard Kipling

...Rudyard Kipling – THE BUTTERFLY THAT STAMPED The Butterfly that stamped is one of the stories from the collection Just So Stories, book written by Rudyard Kipling. The stories seem to be fairy tales but in all of them, we can find something human, something adult and enlightening. The main story is probably happening in the Kingdom of Israel, because of a King named The Most Wise Sovereign Suleiman-bin-Daoud – Solomon, the Son of the David, was a King of Israel around 950 BC . The exposition part is quite confusing because of many foreign-sounding names and without knowledge of some history is almost impossible to understand what the writer wanted to introduce. Soon the narrator changes the mood and one very hilarious story begins. The entire story was written readable, but to understand the message you should little bit think about. On the other hand, thanks to usage of dialogue, I can imagine to tell or read the story to children as a bedtime story. The story is showing us the relationship between men and women. All of the four important characters in this story are showing us something up-to-date. It is unbelievable because the book was written in 1902, the story is set to about 1000 BC and even now, in 2012, we can recognize the symbols and the old facts about people. The main character, the most interesting, and the first person we meet, is the Suleiman-bin-Daoud. We can say that is could be the stereotypical sovereign of this age in this place with magnificent golden...

"The Pit That They Digged" by Rudyard Kipling

...This is a short story, by Rudyard Kipling, about a man and his fight against the administration. The author deals with the topic in an ironic manner. We will try and show the irony in the short story, and find out why the author chose to tell us this story using that particular literary device. Irony is connected to double meaning: the narrator states something while actually meaning something else, which the reader has to figure out*. In “The Pit that They Digged”, irony is found in several instances, and has several functions. The first few paragraphs show examples of situational irony. The main character, Hawkins Mumrath, is seen as about to die (‘lay down to die’), but actually does not (‘he rallied’), thus going against the expected (his friends and acquaintances ‘gave him up for lost’). This return to a state of good health does not bring a feeling of relief or happiness, on the contrary (he gets back to work ‘to the disgust of his juniors who had hoped promotion’). The situation turns into an administrative nightmare as well: the man is not dead, yet the Government makes arrangements for a grave to be dug for him, causing a zealous employee, Ahutosh Lal Deb, to try and get back the money spent on the grave. The situation is thus absurd: a man, quite alive, is asked to pay for his own grave. He writes letters (a sure sign of life) to put the situation to rights, but the administration is unwilling to see his point of view. The administration is presented as a caring entity...

How Is Tikki Brave

...What am I to do?” said Rikki-tikki-tavi.’” Once again, this is anthropomorphism because it expresses how he “feels.” This explains that Rikki-tikki was plotting his scheme carefully so he could win and save his family/friends. The author uses anthropomorphism in this text to help express the characters' real emotions. The author Rudyard Kipling, uses anthropomorphism in this story to help demonstrate the characters true feelings, thoughts, and personalities. In detail, “‘Nag is dead—is dead—is dead!” sang Darzee.” (para. 63) Moreover, this piece of evidence is anthropomorphism because in the story they are physically “talking.” This anthropomorphism proves the theme because this shows that Rikki-tikki killed Nag and saved his loved ones. To point out, “‘Now, if I kill him here, Nagaina will know; and if I fight him on the open floor, the odds are in his favor. What am I to do?” said Rikki-tikki-tavi.’” Once again, this is anthropomorphism because it expresses how he “feels.” This explains that Rikki-tikki was plotting his scheme carefully so he could win and save his family/friends...

The White Man's Burden

...man’s burden The white man’s burden is a poem written by Rudyard Kipling, a British author and poet with ori- gins in the British India. The poem was written in 1899 when Rudyard Kipling was 34 years old – it was posted in the magazine McClure’s with the subtitle “United States and the Philippine Islands”. “Take up the white man’s burden Send forth the best ye breed. Go bind your sons to exile To serve your captives need.” (Kipling; The white man’s burden; 1st stanza pt. 1) The poem is a quite long description of the burden mentioned in the title and refers to a bur- den, which the “white man” has put on his own shoulders. It is rather satirical when read, as the poem indirectly can be interpreted as a discrimination of the white mans (British) imperialistic in- spirations and perhaps even megalomania – as one might have expected from the author. The mean- ing of the title is interpreted as following: The burden of the white man is to “serve his captives need” as written in the first stanza. By this, Kipling refers to how the white man, with a perhaps imperialistic ideology, is to rule the people suppressed by the British colonies, later described as “new-caught, sullen peoples, half-devil and half-child” (Kipling; TWMB, 1st stanza pt. 2). This description of the captives is a caricatured pic- ture of what Kipling believes the white man saw his captives as, while implying the satiric element of the poem. Kipling presents the imperialistic view of the white man, where the non-white...

Holden And Ameera Rhetorical Analysis

...imperialistic dogmatism. The majority of the story occurs within Holden and Ameera’s home in which Kipling employs poetic and romantic diction which lends itself to “sense of artificiality [that] often surfaces whenever they speak of the eternality of their love and the permanence of their happiness” (Dillingham 68). However, this artificiality is not a genuine flaw in the work, but indicative of the artificiality, or rather, unsustainability of Holden and Ameera’s relationship. Holden deviates from any imperialistic language within the house and speaks poetically: “‘I have seen fire-balloons by the hundred....

Analysis of "The Ballad of East and West"

...Maja Strzelczyk, 4KMT2 Topic: Analyse and interpret the passage below, backing up your reading of these lines with apt cultural examples, relating, too, to other literary texts: OH, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment Seat; But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face, tho’ they come from the ends of the earth! There is quite possibly no greater reason for artists' trepidation and anxiety than being misunderstood and misinterpreted. Yet, it is still a common occurrence, even in modern times. First published in 1889, Rudyard Kipling's famous and extremely complex poem “The Ballad of East and West”, and more specifically its four opening lines, is one of the works that have been freely quoted and, probably to Kipling's great disappointment, very often misquoted, therefore misinterpreted in the opposite sense of Kipling's intentions, creating a spurious and misguided reputation of its author. The four lines opening Rudyard Kipling's poem, “The Ballad of East and West,” are a reflection on the topic of equality and possibility of mutual understanding and respect of polar opposites. Let us break down the quatrain into two parts. The first two lines imply that the author believes in absolute contrariety of East and West. They suggest that there is no possible way of reconciliation of the two, that seemingly they are like day...

Truthful Lies: America’s Imbalance

...WR 121 Essay 1: Diagnostic Words: 778 Truthful Lies: America’s Imbalance In the real world, statements are made, without regard for consequences. Is it possible to “unsay” something? To take it back? Rudyard Kipling said it best, “Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.” As a child, I played a game called gossip. It was usually at a slumber party and required all the participants to sit in a circle. The first person would whisper a secret to the person beside them. That person then whispered the secret to the person beside them, but told it in their own words. The last person in the circle was to announce the secret, as they heard it. I was always astonished, not only by how much the story had changed, but by how excited the participants were to tell it. My grandmother used to say, “Be careful what you say, because once the words are out, you can’t take them back.” Although she was nobody famous, she had a firm grasp on the impact words could have on a person’s life. When I think of a drug, I think of something that changes a person, either physically, mentally, or both. Think about how you feel when you hear, or read something about another person. Your reaction is based on many things. Suppose you are a person, with little means, who struggles every day. One day you hear that someone who is not only famous, but wealthy has lost all their money. You don’t even know this person, but those words have somehow made you feel better...

White Man's Burden Satire

...“Take up the White Man's burden— / Ye dare not stoop to less—/ Nor call too loud on Freedom / To cloak your weariness. / By all ye will or whisper, / By all ye leave or do, / The silent sullen peoples/ Shall weigh your God and you.” reads Ruyard Kipling’s poem, “The White Man’s Burden.” Rudyard Kipling, who was a well-known author around the turn of the century. He was a prestigious college graduate who had won many awards, including the Nobel Prize for writing. This tells us, the readers, that he is a very credible writer. Now, academically, there is much discourse and disagreement in regards to weather the poem is satirical. Many scholars believe that Kipling’s sentiment expressed about Imperialism as genuine, especially considering some of his other work. However, some do believe the poem is satire, and that Kipling is mocking the concept of “The White Man’s Burden.” Regardless of whether or not the poem is satirical, and while disregarding that the poem is directly about the Philippine-American War, “The White Man’s Burden” still shows what pro-Imperialists believed. “The White Man’s Burden” shows modern readers the thought process that lead many Western forces to go to lands they had never been before and systematically destroy a people’s way of life....
