For an in-text citation in which you have already written the author's name in the text of your paragraph, you will put in parentheses. a. the page number(s) only b. nothing c. the authors name and page number(s)

a. the page number(s) only

as long as you have said the author's name prior to the quote such as in the signal phrase or topic sentence, the parentheses should only have the page number.

ex: after she bit the apple, author's name says, "quote" (25).

also, this may only apply if there is only one author. if there are multiple authors of the literary work, their name has to go in the parentheses.

ex: after she bit the apple, author's name says, "quote" (author's name 25).

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”

this is hard!
