2. Direct quotes are word-for-word identical to the original passage. Here is

revolutionary and struck a powerful chord in both men and women. (Goldberg,

3. Paraphrases involve putting the information from a passage into your own
words. Here is an example of a paraphrase from the source including an
APA formatted citation:
