Apa in text Citation examples • The following examples will demonstrate proper use of in text Citation using the

Apa format when using the exact words of an author. • The short story “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe is an example of a story written in the first

person. He explains his intentions to his reader in the following way. Poe (1846) “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge” (p. 1) In this short passage he is directly talking to the reader telling him what he’s is going to do to a character in the story.

• An incorrect way to cite the passage would be to exclude quotations and mention of the author. The example below would be the incorrect way to cite the above passage

• The short story “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe is an example of a story written in the first person. He explains his intentions to his reader by writing about the thousand injuries of Fortunato that he had borne as I best he could, but when he ventured to insult him, he vowed revenge. In this short passage he is directly talking to the reader telling him what he is going to do with a character in the story.

• In the above example I used many of Poe’s words without giving him any credit for the words he used in the story which is considered plagiarism.
