<p>If you paraphrase someone, and say in the text: "To paraphrase <name>, '<paraphrase text="">' (which is similar to original but not exact)"</paraphrase></name></p>
<p>...do you have to show the exact text in the 'works cited' and give credit? Or is that only for exact quotes?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Yes. Otherwise your reader can't go back to the text, check the citation, look at its context, check your veracity, etc. Show the page numbers you're paraphrasing as an intext citation, then list the work on the Works Cited page.</p>
<p>I think the only exception would be if it was an extremely well-known quote, like saying, "Martin Luther King told us that he had a dream of children of different races growing up together in harmony." But even then, it wouldn't hurt to cite the speech.</p>
<p>Thanks! It's actually a song.</p>
<p>What song? </p>
<p>Neil Young told us that is a far far better thing to go out in a flash of glory than to sit in a rocking chair and grow old. </p>
<p>"It's better to burn out than it is to rust" *My My Hey Hey<a href="Out%20of%20the%20Blue">/i</a> Neil Young, 1979 (or 78, I think)</p>
<p>It's a Pink Floyd song, from The Wall.</p>
<p>Neil Young is awesome - the ultimate hippie who never sold out!</p>
