Question about citation. (College level) I am writing a essay about an economist's life and his theory/ school. The instructor asked me to use proper MLA format and bibliography. As I am doing it, I found that this is a kind of biography. And everything I wrote is basically convert what I read from sources into my words, so do i have to put citation at in-text? or just leave it what it is ? If i have to, it is pretty trouble to do so. I confused because the instructor asked me to make bibliography, but not work cited page. And work cited is not same as bibliography.

A bibliography uses all the works that you used, not just what you directly cited. It is also always better to cite everything you can in text versus under-citing and being accused of plagiarism. I would cover basis by putting at the end of the paragraph all the sources you used in text.
