I read a few of these, but the one I related to the most was the essay about plagiarism. I think it’s true, most of are do plagiarize. Sometimes it’s without noticing and meaning to. I felt bad for the person at the beginning of the essay, the one that almost published a novel until other people realized the author took passages from other authors. I do believe that it can be an accident to plagiarize. Some people do it unconsciously. I believe that a person could hear a story when they were little and then recreate the story without realizing that they’ve heard it before. We all use idioms and cliches, which I guess could be some form of plagiarism too..they’re not our own words.
