Anybody here understand MLA format for writing a research paper?

If I have paragraph that I paraphrased from three different pages from a book, all in the same paragraph, how would I cite it? Would I have to cite each sentence separately, even though they're from the same book in the same sentence, or could I do it like this (Russian stories, pages 10, 15, 50)?

Thanks.

    You would cite each one separately. Think about the purpose that we do citations in the first place: to enable a reader to go read the original source from which you got a particular fact or quotation. It's easier to do that if you tell the reader which bit of info came from which specific page of the source.
