Please reread what you posted and add punctuation and capital letters to indicate the ends and beginning of all sentences. I'm not catching what you mean, and I need clarification. Proper separation into sentences will help me understand what you mean.
Please repost.

I had a question today in class it was "Please explain the main point that the character Bill has use evidence from the text to support that."
In one of my sentences I placed "Bill said "Thats because some people feel worse when something bad might occur"
Would this be considered Plagiarism?I placed references at the end of the question, but I did not put () at the end of this.
It was direct text from the book, but I used it as evidence to support what his main point was

Basically what im saying is i used direct text from the book as evidence to prove his point meaning the question was about the book specifically but i didn't put proper citing only references at the end
If you put references at the end of the quotation, but did not use parentheses, that could be misread by the teacher, yes, and he/she could consider it plagiarism.
Here's the citation lesson I use frequently:
You need to have each source of information cited in TWO places:
1. the Works Cited page that is placed after the last page of your paper, and
2. in parentheses in the text of your paper, immediately after the quotation or paraphrase.
For example, this would go on the Works Cited page (with proper indentation for the second and following lines):
Du Bois, W.E.B. The Souls of Black Folk. Chicago, 1903. Project Bartleby. Ed. Steven van Leeuwen. Dec. 1995. Columbia U. 2 Dec. 2003
<www.cc.columbia.edu/acis/bartleby/dubois/>.
... and this would go immediately after the quotation or whatever:
(Du Bois)
The information in parentheses in the text needs to be as brief as possible. That's why there's a Works Cited page – for all the details of the listing.
