APA Citation Help - Need Guidance?

Question

I need help with APA Citation both intext and for referrence page. I am reading a story written by Flannery O'Connor "A good Man Is Hard to Find" which she wrote in 1955. However, it's find in my literature book for school which the author Robert DiYanni, the name of the book is "Literature, Reading Fiction, Poetry and Drama" 6th edition, 2007, McGraw-Hill Publication.

How do I cite a story that was written by an author that is contained in another book by a different author? Please help.

Thank you.

In cases like this, you have two options:

(1) Unless the content of the original text has been altered (say, through paraphrasing) in the second book, it is acceptable to directly cite the original book as if you had seen it there first.

(2) You can treat your school book as an "anthology" and the O'Connor story as a chapter, and cite it accordingly.


I suggest EasyBib.com for easy formatting.
