I think another example of this would be giving your paper to a friend for him to turn in in his class. It's not technically self plagiarism but it's kind of the sample principle. Mon, 04 Sep 2017 20:14:20 -0700 That's true, it doesn't really say anything negative about staying at a hotel. https://nowcomment.com/documents/61997?scroll_to=596227 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61997?scroll_to=596227 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 12:34:06 -0700 I agree with you, each paragraph has a point and contrasts the two options https://nowcomment.com/documents/61997?scroll_to=596226 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61997?scroll_to=596226 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 12:33:14 -0700 I wonder why they didn't put a more specific price range. You can get an understanding of what they mean by 'limited budget' but being more specific would help. https://nowcomment.com/documents/61997?scroll_to=596225 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61997?scroll_to=596225 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 12:32:22 -0700 I'm curious if you are supposed to talk to the reader, for example using "you" https://nowcomment.com/documents/61997?scroll_to=596224 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61997?scroll_to=596224 Mon, 06 May 2024 23:04:12 -0700 This Paragraph states that the essay was comparing and contrasting the two options. https://nowcomment.com/documents/61997?scroll_to=596223 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61997?scroll_to=596223 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 12:30:09 -0700 This is block style https://nowcomment.com/documents/61997?scroll_to=596222 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61997?scroll_to=596222 Block Style essays have a paragraph for contrasting, and another for comparing. Mon, 17 Oct 2016 12:28:37 -0700 I think the climax was when he swung and shouted "Clare!". It shows that he is about to either make it inside, or die, and his wife is his top priority now. https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574541 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574541 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 10:50:11 -0700 He realized if he died, he would have wasted his life. He wished that he would have gone out with his wife tonight, and any other night he couldn't because he had to work. https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574540 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574540 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 10:46:16 -0700 The greatest sense of suspense for me was when he was hanging on to the quarter inch edging of the window and his elbows were shaking. https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574534 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574534 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 10:40:13 -0700 When he starts to fear for his life, he forgets all about the paper, which was why he was there in the first place, and he makes an attempt to return to his window. https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574528 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574528 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 10:33:10 -0700 When it says "for a motionless instant". It describes how Tom is feeling right now and that he sees himself externally, even though this is only an instant. https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574524 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574524 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 10:28:31 -0700 New Setting https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574523 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574523 The first new setting is he windows ledge. It is dark and cold, unlike his apartment. He has to balance and slowly inch his away across. The second new setting is when he is lowering his head, he sees Lexington avenue stretch out for miles. This helps us to kind of understand what Tom is feeling right now and the whole fear of not looking down. Wed, 14 Sep 2016 10:26:59 -0700 He was motivated to come up with a way to retrieve the paper, because it would take two months to redo. He started looking for things in his apartment to reach the paper. When nothing would work, he laughed, and then thought about going out on the ledge. https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574518 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574518 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 10:21:25 -0700 The last sentence of 17 introduces us to the fact that Tom is concerned about this paper. The last sentence of 18 shows us that Tom is so focused on this paper he can hear it scraping on the pavement. https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574515 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574515 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 10:15:25 -0700 I think Tom is staying home because of whatever caused his guilty conscience. With how much it talks about him trying to start his work, I'd say he values work most. https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574511 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574511 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 10:09:25 -0700 Tom is distracted by the heat, which is a front for his guilty conscience. https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574507 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59879?scroll_to=574507 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 10:00:54 -0700 Types of plagiarism and how to avoid it https://nowcomment.com/documents/57212?scroll_to=553260 https://nowcomment.com/documents/57212?scroll_to=553260 One type of plagiarism is called self plagiarism. This is when you use work that you have previously published or turned in for future work. Two ways to avoid plagiarism would be to either paraphrase or quote. When you paraphrase, you use the information you found in your own words, without copying more than two words in a row from the source material. Quoting would be when you take an entire quote from the source, but put it in quotes and then cite it. Mon, 29 Aug 2016 12:13:03 -0700
