Quoting
After reading the chapter on quoting, paraphrasing and
summarizing I can clearly see the difference in the forms of writing.
Parenthetical documentation. You’ll
also need to keep in mind the requirements of your documentation style. If you’re
following MLA, you’ll need to include page numbers for all quotations,
paraphrases, and summaries from print sources on your parenthetical
documentation. If you’re using APA, page numbers for paraphrases and summaries
are recommended—but it’s always a good idea to include them whenever possible.[1]
APA and MLA styles of writing are used as a way of
documenting and presenting information. Both forms require most of the same data.
There are a few differences however:

Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing is used as a way to restate the information and
ideas that you have read or documented, using your own words. You want to be
sure that you are getting the same points across without using too many of the
terms used by the original author as stated in the book Everyone’s an Author it seems ok to use a few, “…it may be
necessary to use some of the key terms from the original in order to convey the
same concepts, be sure to put them in quotation marks…”.
