Does anyone know how to cite within a paper using MLA?

Here is an example from the paper I am writing:

She suffered a violent tumble down the slope and numerous scrapes and cuts. “Her back felt all scraped up and her left arm, which had absorbed most of the damage during the final part of her slide, was a net of blood from wrist to elbow” (King 59).

I’m not sure if I cited that correctly and my teacher has yet to email me back >_

There are websites that will help you look it up. I used the websites alot in college. Just type in MLA into a search engine. Good luck.
