Say if I am citing a author from a book and I write a quote it goes like this-
"He went there and killed her" (Bob 13).
What if I use several quotes from the same book? Do I have to write (Bob pg#) everytime? Or can I just put the page number?
This is MLA style

Unless this is a block quote, using several quotes from the same book at the same time (at which point there is only one citation at the end of the quote), then you need to site it with the last name of the author and page number each time you use a quote. With these things, it's better to be overly cautious; it's better to be safe than sorry.

You will have to cite the quote each time. If you can work the author's name into the sentence that you are using the quote, then you only have to put the page number at the end. For example:
According to (author), "whatever it is that you're quoting here" (24).
If you use the quote w/o the author's name, then you will need to include both the author's last name and page number in ().

In In-textual content citations, you are able to not abbreviate the identify of any article, any area of the object, or paraphrase. Sorry to be the single to allow you to understand this, yet as having written a number of MLA formatted papers, i understand that there is not any way plausible that you'll abbreviate the identify of any article.
