About Quotations, which is correct? Plz help ASAP.
I'm still working on that English paper I was on about in another post,
however now I'm getting more into the mechanics of it.
The following is what I have written for a single part:
During the epic poem there are examples of the 'Concept of a Hero': loyalty, devotion, fortitude, the wandering hero, or a figure that is 'larger then life', the Greek ideal of a strong mind and body.
What I'm wondering is if, 'Concept of a Hero', and, 'larger then life' need to be put in quotations or single quotes. Or maybe not quotes at all?
The 'Concept of a Hero', and 'larger then life' are both things taught during class, hence why I feel the need for them to be quoted...but that doesn't mean its correct.
Any help would be apperciated greatly! Thank you:]
P.s.
I'll probably be sitting here until I get an answer:[
So, any help ASAP would be awesome:]!

I would only quote something if it is directly taken from a reference work (quoting another author), or if it is a title of a book, or direct speech. I don't think you phrases need quotes.
