“Happiness can be found, even
in the darkest of times, if one
only remembers to turn on the
light.” – Harry Potter and the
Prisoner of Azkaban
There is happiness even during
the most challenging times and
we only need to look at the
bright side.
In the common tongue it reads,
“One Ring to Rule Them All.
One Ring to Find Them. One
Ring to Bring Them All and in
The Darkness Bind Them.” –
The Lord of the Rings
There is one ring to rule, to
find, to bring, and to bind all
evil.

7. 1.Digest the author’s intention
Thoroughly read the original source until
the main idea or content is clearly identified.
Once the message is understood, the text
should be put away to avoid an exact replica.
Begin paraphrasing by putting the general
idea into your own words.

8. 2. Use the thesaurus moderately
Keep it simple! Often the use of a thesaurus may
result in jargon and the focus might be lost.
Therefore, the best way to paraphrase is by making
sure you keep the general idea in your own words,
not the Thesaurus’ words, or the original author’s
words. Remember you are rephrasing the source’s
original focus not changing a couple of words or
sentences.

9. 3. Get to the point
Restrict yourself from including personal input into the
paraphrase. It should be based on the author’s intention
not on your opinions and viewpoints. The source should
only be used to assist your argument.
4. Judge for yourself
Make the paraphrase yours. It should not look like the
original. If there exists too much of a resemblance
between the original and the paraphrase, then it should be
revised. Remember the goal is to restate the message of
the source in your own words using your own sentence
structure.
