Question: when you use a quote from an source with NO author or page number and you've already INTRODUCED who said the quote (using a phrase like "Snyder says") do you just use the TITLE of the source as the in-text citation?
@nltandjonas -- that is correct. The name for this is the "as quoted in" or "as cited in" quotation. Also called quote-within-a-quote or secondary quotation. Use a shortened title to replace the author's name inside parentheses. If the title is an article, put title in quote marks. Otherwise, put title in italics.
i have question. When you write an essay about a book do you do in present tense, if so when you find quotes and try to explain do you also keep in present tense?.
@metesables -- my advice on that is to write the essay first in whatever tense seems to fit and then worry about changing something. If by "book" you mean a literary work, there is a thing called the "literary present." So you would write, "Stephen King presents good and evil in religious terms in his early work Carrie." But always write first, correct second.
@peakdavid-- I tried that once and it didn't work out. I spent too much time on music and I just wasn't focused! I still have all my credits.. someday I will finish my degree.
Thanks for watching and for your comment, flower. Good luck to you!

@TYGMUSICCOMPANY -- as long as you are happy, productive and doing your work out of love, then not much else matters. IMHO.
