APA Style: When you have a paragraph with 5 sentences each stating a fact from the same source do you cite each sentence separately and merely write ibid?
if you say where the quotes are coming from in the beginning than you only have to say what part you found it is.. if that makes sense like Some examples of humor in Franklins autobiography are when he is walking down the street and he makes a face at his future wife. As he walked down the street he found himself “passing by the door of Mr. Read, my future wife’s father; when she, standing at the door, saw me, and I thought I made, as I certainly did, a most awkward ridiculous appearance (pg.19)” Another example of humor is when he throws the man that wouldn’t row off the side of the boat and everytime he swam near, to grab on, Franklin would row a few strokes over away from him. Eventually, they “lifted him in and brought him dripping wet in the evening (pg. 26).” On of the examples of irony is when he says “ you will see it (pride), perhaps, often in this history; for, even if I could conceive that i had completely overcome it, I should probably be proud of my humility.”
Thank you for your thoughtfulness. This material is a bit drier than that: e.g. there are 250 million people in the United States. 50 million are below the age of 6. 20% live in single family homes... Opening with, According to the XXX website ... Or the XXX website reports... What do you think?
Is that the whole question?
No, it's merely an example. The actual example is an introductory section with two paragraphs. The first paragraph has 7 sentences; the second paragraph is similar in length. They both include data from a single source. e.g. I wouldn't think that the opening paragraph to the report would lend itself to leading off: "According to the 2010 U.S. Census..." and then proceed with 7 sentences of data followed by a second paragraph, "The 2010 U.S. Census goes on to say..." followed by another 7 sentences of data -- also from the same census data.
