Answer:

False

Explanation:

In an essay, you have to cite every source you use because

a) the teacher needs to KNOW you didn't copy

b) the teacher needs to know if you got your info from a reliable source

c) the teacher needs to see your ability to use info from a source to put into your essay

This may be different for books, but citation is always a rule of thumb for essays in school, so don't forget unless you want points to be taken off of your score.
