If you paraphrase you have to cite where you got it from by providing the page number in the text like this (page 89). Here is an example from Pudeu OWL: In his famous and influential work The Interpretation of Dreams, Sigmund Freud argues that dreams are the "royal road to the unconscious" (page #), expressing in coded imagery the dreamer's unfulfilled wishes through a process known as the "dream-work" (page #). http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/563/01/
