  2. Quotes • When quoting directly from the text you must include an in-text citation to note from where the quote originated. Most in-text citations contain the author’s last name with the page number. • For example – Lieutenant Jimmy Cross was infatuated with a girl named Martha who was “a junior at Mount Sebastian College in New Jersey” (O’Brien 1).

  3. Quotes • If you use the author’s last name in the text before the quote, you only need the page number in parenthesis. • For example – According to Tim O’Brien, “stories are for joining the past to the future” and for making something last forever (24).

  4. Paraphrase • You also need to add an in-text citation when you paraphrase something from the original text. • For example – O’Brien believes that stories force people to remember after they get too old to remember the original events themselves (24). • The soldiers carried items because they needed them as well as because of their job (O’Brien 2-3).
