Today in my english class my teacher was handing back our essays we wrote about Huckleberry Finn. I was really anxious to get mine back because I felt really proud of what I wrote. My teacher then pulls me aside and askes me if I plagerised(sp) my essay. I was shocked and told her no. Later in the class she read a passage from the internet and said "Many people, if feel, have plagerised from things they found on the internet, some even from this class" (she avoids eye contact with me). I do admit the thing she read did sound a lot like what I wrote, but I know i didn't plagerise. I feel so bad, she didn't seem to believe me when I told her I didn't copy it. Now when she looks at me I feel as though she thinks less of me. She spent half and hour explaining that plagerism was wrong and that its worse to plagerise then to not turn in a paper at all. I dont know what Im going to do.... Sorry Im just venting.
