It looks as though the sample you provided is correct. I looked at the
MLA website and here is what I found.
Examples (direct quote, two sources by the same author)
Steinbeck is frequently identified as a "proletarian writer of the
1930s" interested in the
"socioeconomic and political problems of the Great Depression" (Lisca,
Nature 87). It is
fervently hoped that migrant workers may be given "the right to live
decently" (Lisca,
"Grapes" 81).
Examples (paraphrase, two sources by the same author)
Because spiritual values were a major aspect of Indian life, tribal
members held great
respect for, and put much faith in, shamans. Women often became shamans;
in fact, in
some tribes only women could hold this position (Georgakas, "Red" 99).
Although women
could not become chiefs in certain tribes, they often had the deciding
voice in the final
selection of a chief (Georgakas, "Broken" 6).

I know not age or weariness of defeat. And I don't analyze my feelings.
I just keep on being interested.

Subject: GEN: Research Question
Hello:
One of our English teachers just brought me a research question that
neither she nor I know the answer to...I am hoping you can help!
In a short paragraph, the same source is quoted twice. Each time it is
quoted, parenthetical citations are used. The first time, it says
(Weber A1) and the second, (qtd. in Weber A1). Her question is why the
parentheical citations needed to be used both times - she has always
taught that, if the same source was used more than once in the same
paragraph, it only needs to be cited at the end of the last reference.
Any explanations?
Here is the paragraph if that makes my explanation more clear:
According to an Associated Press news report, a study published in the
March 1999 issue of Archives of General Psychiatry suggests that "Babies
whose mothers smoke during pregnancy could be a higher risk of growing
up to be criminals" (Weber 1A). Claiming their finding to be
"significant", authors of the study point out "Our results support our
hypothesis that maternal smoking during pregnancy is related to
increased rates of crime in adult offspring" (qtd. in Weber A1). This
study sends out serious warnings against smoking.
Thanks!
