A typical in-text citation is composed of the element that comes first in the entry in the works-cited list (usually the author's name) and a page number. The
page number goes in a parenthesis, which is placed, when possible, where there is a natural pause in the text. A parenthetical citation that directly follows a
quotation is placed after the closing quotation mark. The other item (usually the author's name) may appear in the text itself or, abbreviated, before the page
number in the parenthesis.
According to Naomi Baron, reading is "just half of literacy. The other half is writing" (194). One might even suggest that reading is never complete
without writing.
