Paraphrase

At the start of my college composition class, I did not know much about writing papers; the only paper I knew how to write was a five-paragraph essay but over the course of the semester I learned to write a literary narrative, a texture analysis, a research summary and a research paper. Writing those papers helped improve my writing and writing habits. My writing style had grown, my grammar has improved, and I have learned that making an outline help organize and manage time better. The first…

a sense of justice but they are also similar in terms of how they view justice. In Hammurabi’s Code and the Twelve Tables, justice is shown when a judge or a witness does not receive bribes or is prejudiced towards a certain party. Quoted from a paraphrase of Hammurabi’s Code, “Unfair decisions made by a judge could lead to his being removed as a judge, or if the case included a monetary settlement, he would have to pay 12 times the amount owed by the guilty party.” and this from the Twelve…

I like “The Ruined Maid” by Thomas Hardy. My paraphrase is this: “Two women talk about the ‘ruined’ lifestyle. Ironically, a ruined lifestyle is filled with luxury and refinement. The ‘ruined’ woman seems to have been a country woman before like the other woman. While the country woman focuses on the other woman’s success, the ‘ruined’ woman constantly says that it’s because she is ruined.” Thomas Hardy’s “The Ruined Maid” consists of a conversation between a ‘ruined’ woman and a country woman…

When researching the different terms and meanings of plagiarism, academic integrity, and collusion the realization that even though they are very different words they have similarities and huge differences. Such as plagiarism meaning “the practice of taking someone else’s work or ideas and pass them off as one’s own,” and collusion. Collusion meaning “a secret agreement, especially of fraudulent or treacherous purposes.” Reading these terms makes me see that when plagiarizing a paper, you are…

Sometimes too much repetition, especially same sentences, can be monotonous but not in this case. The author paraphrases sentences in other way and it does not look monotonous. He uses the repetition "enumeration" to show that the amount of destruction was immeasurable. He wants to emphasize that San Francisco was completely destroyed by earthquake. He uses an immense amount of details, so we can imagine the whole picture. London wrote the story from the first person. London’s eyewitness…

1. Using a paraphrase as an in-text citation: The author, Nicholas Carr, begins by inferring that the internet has a huge amount of information, readily available data that is easily accessed. He refers to the perfect nature of the internet, as far as recalling information once it is in the memory. Further in the paragraph he begins to ponder the way his mind is adapting to the speed with which information is accessible. He feels this, in turn, is preventing him needing to dig deeper…

constructed. And the use of “first of all,” does not smoothly transitions from the first paragraph, and the conclusion of the essay would be perfect if introduction would have been more clear. The author in the conclusion seemed to successfully paraphrase each main point—I think. There were errors that were obvious, and I do not have a favorite part of this essay. I do think the opening statement would work well if it was supported with facts about the holiday rather than a highly described…

write quickly. Paraphrasing can also show the patient that their feelings and experiences are validated and what they have spoken is significant (Weger et al. 2010). I found this skill worked best for me as I would listen to the patient and then paraphrase as I wrote the condensed…

I firmly believe that I did not violate the Honor Code and am writing this statement to express my defense over these claims made against me. I take my education and future very seriously and would never jeopardize it. As I am a senior, I am currently applying to many well-known colleges and universities, and would never want to imperil my admissions chances over a homework assignment. Not only that, but I am also a DECA Officer, as well as, a National Honor Society member; two clubs that I am…

is certain: everything else needs to be viewed with skepticism. On the other hand, you have the empiricists who rely solely on the senses to find truth and believe that there is no innate thought or idea, that we are all born ‘blank slates’ (to paraphrase Locke) and gain all knowledge through our experiences. Reading through both of…
