"If you incorporate the author's name into your text, give only the page number in parentheses. For example:
According to Krushke, an assault weapon can be defined as "any weapon used in an assault on another individual" (375).
If the context does not identify the author, include the author's last name before the page number:
An assault weapon can be defined as "any weapon used in an assault on another individual" (Krushke 375)."
my question: if you were assigned to only read ONE book and write an essay only using that one book and nothing else, if you don't include the author's last name in context, is it necessary to have to put the author's name in parentheses or is it implied that you're only reading from that one book & nothing else?
e.g., if you were assigned to read a single book written by krushke, and don't use their name in context, do you still have to say (Kruske 132) or can you just say (132) ?
If you clearly state at the beginning of the paper that your paper is solely based on that book (and you name the author there), then you can just do the (132) thing throughout. That is how I have always done it. I assume that is gramatically correct, but you may want to check with a teacher just in case. The rule itself makes sense, but my teacher who told me that was really lazy and just didn't like to read extra stuff.
