Parenthetical information
I would like to know if this question is correct?
What is, in your point of view, the message that you have learned from the texts that we have read—The Great Gasby, Frankenstein, and Hamlet?
Should the titles be placed inside parentheses or is it correct the way it is?
Please let me know.
