what does the viewer bring to an image? is it true, as berger writes, that \our perception or appreciation of an image depends also upon our own way of seeing\?

source: ways of seeing by john berger, chapter 1, page 10. published by penguin books, london 1972:

yet, although every image embodies a way of seeing, our perception or appreciation of an image depends also upon our own way of seeing.

Explanation:

Identify the source details

Using the MLA Citation knowledge point

• Author: John Berger
• Source Book: Ways of Seeing
• Page number of the cited text: 10

Determine the MLA in-text citation format

Using the In-text Citation knowledge point

• The sentence introduces the author in the prose: "Is it true, as Berger writes, that..."
• According to MLA guidelines, when the author's name is already mentioned in the sentence leading up to the quote, only the page number should appear in the parenthetical citation.
• Therefore, the parenthetical citation should be exactly (10).

Place the citation correctly

Using the In-text Citation knowledge point

• The citation must go immediately after the cited text (the quotation).
• The quotation ends with "our own way of seeing".
• In MLA format, the parenthetical citation is placed after the closing quotation mark but before the final punctuation mark (the question mark in this sentence).
• Thus, the text becomes: "...our own way of seeing" (10)?
