When T’ana was changing clothes after gym class she noticed a large circular patch on her back. Hmm, this looks like I am developing a rash, she thought to herself. I’ll have Mom take a look at it when I get home. It’s probably this new body wash. During the day, the patch began to itch so badly T’ana had to go to the nurse.
“Nurse Jones, I have this really weird patch on my back that’s starting to itch. Could you take a look at it?” T’ana asked.
“T’ana it looks like you have a good old fashioned case of ringworm. Put this medication on it and it will go away in a few days,” Nurse Jones said.
T’ana was disturbed at the thought that she had ringworm and couldn’t imagine where she got it from. However, she was happy she knew what to do. For more than a week, T’ana faithfully applied the ointment to the patch every night before bed, but it didn’t seem be getting any better.
In fact, T’ana noticed some dark spots appearing up and down her left side. They almost appeared to be forming a Christmas tree. After running in gym class, she felt a little ill and her side began to itch even more. T’ana immediately went back to the nurse’s office.
“Nurse Jones! I’ve put this medication on every day just like you said, but this patch on my back isn’t getting any better,” she said. “And now my side is looking like a Christmas tree because of these dark spots. See?” T’ana raised her shirt.
“Oh T’ana, I’m sorry, but I think I was wrong about you having ringworm,” Nurse Jones said. “I think this is a case of Pityriasis Rosea.” She pulled out her medical dictionary and showed T’ana a picture.
“Pit-a-what-a who?” she said. “Where did this come from? And most importantly, how do I get rid of it?”
“The cause of Pityriasis Rosea is unknown,” Nurse Jones said, taking a seat at her desk. “The rash usually starts out with a ‘herald patch’ and the small, dark spots appear later. PR is not contagious and usually goes away on its own."

your question is so long, I am willing to help if you explain in depth

PR is calculated to occur in .13% of men and .14% of women.

Explanation: this is the most reasonable answer, it is referring to the passage.

what: when quoting a source, use the author’s words verbatim, or word-for-word. this means you shouldn’t change any grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. put quotations around the words to tell your reader where the quote begins and where it ends.

you also need to acknowledge the author. for example, if using mla format for your research paper, you should have in-text citations with the author’s name and page number listed at the end of each quote.

when: use quotations to provide concrete examples to support your claims. using direct quotations is a great way to build your credibility on the subject. it’s also a good idea to quote your source when the author states things in a powerful way. if you think he or she said it best, then use the exact words to share the ideas.

example: in the short story “a jury of her peers”, mrs. hale compares mrs. wright to her caged bird, saying “she—come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself. real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and—fluttery. how—she—did—change” (glaspell).

paraphrasing

what: paraphrasing differs from quoting because you restate the passage in your own words. since you don’t use the author’s words, you don’t need to use quotation marks. however, you still need to acknowledge the author for his or her ideas.

when paraphrasing a text, you should communicate the full meaning of the text; don’t change the meaning. it can be a condensed version of the text, or it could end up being longer than the source it’s paraphrasing.

when: you use paraphrasing when you take notes, or explain a chart or diagram to someone. paraphrasing highlight the important parts of a larger text. it also allows you to simplify the ideas for your readers.

example:

original: “it was no ordinary thing that called her away–it was probably further from ordinary than anything that had ever happened in dickson county. but what her eye took in was that her kitchen was in no shape for leaving: her bread all ready for mixing, half the flour sifted and half unsifted” (glaspell).

paraphrase: as mrs. hales walks around mrs. wright’s home, she notices that the kitchen is in disarray as if she was in the middle of baking bread (glaspell).

sorry, i just really need points. and to this question, maybe i know the answer. but i have no time now. d
