I am typing up an assignment for English and the title is: Satire in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The whole title is going to be underlined, but do I need to put quote marks around The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn since it is a title? Just checking. Thanks.

There is no reason to underline the entire title of your own paper, but the title of the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn needs to be underlined. And since it is a book, it should not have quotation marks around it.

Answer 1

To properly format the title of the book "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" in your assignment, you should underline it. However, you do not need to put quotation marks around it since it is a title of a book. Quotation marks are typically used for shorter works such as articles, short stories, or chapters within a book.
