I am unsure how to do the page citing after quotes in paragraphs. Is this correct:
: “’She’s scared you’re going to hit her. This isn’t the way to make her behave herself, you know. It doesn’t matter whether you were brought up that way or not --.’” (119)
:“She wanted to put her hands over her ears, but her mum would lose it—Nigerian parents, her mother had once explained, could actually kill a child over disrespect. It had been known to happen.” (Oyeyemi, 120)

The punctuation goes at the end of the sentence. A period means that a sentence has ended, so you want it to come AFTER the citation.
"put the period after the citation" (Deckard, 1).
You have it incorrect in your examples.
