Shakespeare died over 400 years ago. So, Hiram inserted a quote by
Shakespeare from the play Hamlet into an essay without using quotation marks or citing the reference.
I disagree that the essay was not cited and no questions marks were used when the quote was inserted. If you do not cite a quote that was copied from a text, even if the author has died, this was being considered plagiarism. If you would have paraphrased the quote that would be difference because you are taking pieces of the quote and putting the rest in your own words. Beattie noted in his history paper the fact that representatives from the
13 British colonies signed the United States Declaration of Independence in
1776, but he did not cite a source for the information.
I disagree that Beattie did not cite the source. Consider that he noted a fact that the British colonies signed the Declaration in the year 1776. He mentions the year of when the
Declaration was signed, so this should be cited. When taking notes about the
American Revolution.
Sara found a quote of Benjamin Franklin’s words, which she paraphrased. She inserted it into her paper without quotation marks or a reference to Benjamin Franklin. I disagree that Sara did not cite her paper. When paraphrasing if you state the author and the year, a source should be cited.
Jeffery wrote a paper on popular music in which he claimed that many songs came from earlier sources. He included the entire song lyrics from the
Beatles and compared them to the lyrics of a song by a folk singer from the
1930s. He cited the Beatles. Although he included the lyrics from the 1930 song, he did not include a reference to the source. I agree that Jeffrey cited the singer of the song lyrics.
I disagree that he did not reference the source.
Whenever you site a source from a textbook you should include a reference page.
The reference gives you all the information on where you have found your information.

    The IPhone 5 is a waste of money but it is so popular, so why does everyone want to have it. I believe that this phone is not as good as everyone has been hyping it up to be. The IPhone 5 sold over 5 million phones three days after its release. In addition, the (IPhone 5 is available right now in the U.S. and 30 other countries and more than 100 countries by the end of the year) Apple reported. The IPhone 5 comes in 3 different models 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and also is available in white, black, or silver. Apple stock reached its sixth highest record in the last seven days from the release date. If you can’t afford the new IPhone or don’t want it right now the IPhone 4 is available for free with 2 year contracts at multiple providers. I am one of those people that don’t need to have the newest hottest items. Plus I don’t like an apple product the only thing that I own from apple is an IPod and that’s it. I owned an IPhone and I wasn’t that impressed there were something’s I liked but not many for me to spend that much money on it.…

    I am assigning the online period introduction overviews and online quizzes for both the 8th and 9th editions of The Norton Anthology of English Literature (NAEL) because each provides some information that the other does not. As you will see in the reading list below, I have also assigned the introduction to this literary period in your textbook and provided the page numbers for the 9th edition. If you have another edition of the text, you will need to locate the pages numbers in the table of contents.

    When Thomas Jefferson sat down and wrote the Declaration of Independence in 1776, he could not have imagined that it is still used as the framework for our country over 200 years later. When it was first read to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, it immediately became the voice of the nation crying out to Britain that they will no longer be subjected to their rule. It became a much-needed declaration of freedom from Britain.…

    The Fourth of July is an American tradition/ritual that comes from the original thirteen colonies declaring independence from Great Britain, but now let me tell you in more detail. On July 4, 1776, the thirteen colonies claimed their independence from England, an event which eventually led to the formation of the United States. Each year on July 4th, also known as Independence Day, Americans celebrate this historic event. Conflict between the colonies and England was already a year old when the colonies convened a Continental Congress in Philadelphia in the summer of 1776. In a June 7 session in the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall), Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented a resolution with the famous words: "Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."…
