It's Mixing
| ← Language and Dialect Contact | Child Soldiers in Liberia → |
When Helen Hegemann, 17, from Germany became a finalist in a literary competition, she was heralded as a breath of fresh air and a new literary genius by the media and readers. Her work was so impressive that her book "Axolotl Roadkill" was in the topР’В 5 bestseller list of Spiegel's. It was not long however, before other wide readers began to question the originality of her content. References and evidences of Hegemann's plagiarism of an original piece of fiction writing by Airen entitled "Strobo" was discovered by blogger Deef Pirmasens. He presented evidence of plagiarism with passages and whole pages taken from the story "Strobo".
In an interview with Nicholas Kulish of The New York TimesР’В published on February 11, 2010, the young author was unrepentant. Basing her defense on the stand that writers all throughout time have mixed their literary content with the works of other authors. Therefore, she claims she did not perform an act of plagiarism. However, after the page in question, it appears that she took the work of the original author ad verbatim without citing due reference within the page or in a reference page. Thus falling under the definition of plagiarism.
Even after apologizing for the plagiarism she had committed in order to settle down the uproar from the traditional Berlin literary circle, she still remains steadfast in the belief that "there is no such thing as originality, only authenticity." Yet these proven charges of plagiarism have only served to add to the interest in the book and the celebrity of the author. Book sales for "Axolotl" has kept it in 9th place on the German amazon.com website. Even with the negative publicity cropping up, people are interested in buying Hegemann's work together with Strobo by Airen. In this case, plagiarism seems to have become a win-win situation for both authors.

I am fully satisfied with my research paper. It cannot have been easy for your writers to compose! The topic is called, "PARALLEL ALGORITHM FOR MULTI-DIMENSIONAL MATRIX MULTIPLICATION OPERATIONS REPRESENTATION USING KARNAUGH MAP”. That is a very difficult topic! However, your writers developed an algorithm, included a diagram and a graph and related multi-dimensional matrix multiplication perfectly. I am thrilled with the work I received and will be using your company again in the near future. Thank you for all of your hard work on this project. I love it! |

Dear Sirs: I have just placed my third order from EssaysEmpire.com this term. I feel confident that my paper will be written on time and that the quality of it will be out of the ballpark.

It is so great to be able to sit back and concern myself with my reading and exams while you do the difficult writing projects for me. That is really great. You guys are a class act! |

I accidentally read the wrong chapters for my history assignment. Therefore, when it came down to the wire and I needed to hand in my history paper, I had to reach out for help very quickly. Your writers were able to put something together for me so fast! I couldn’t believe it! I handed the paper in and got a very high score on it. I was stunned! Thank you so much for your help! |

I had a question about the pricing. As I glanced through the EssaysEmpire.com website, I noticed that they were offering a lot for not all that much money. I spoke to a customer service person and she told me that the prices I saw on the website were accurate. Therefore, I ordered my first paper, not expecting all that much. What I got back was a brilliantly written essay that earned an A+ mark! Wow! I am impressed! |

You’ve done it again! Every time I order a paper from EssaysEmpire.com, you top the last one. This latest one was the best yet. I truly do appreciate the fact that you offer such high quality writing. It never fails. With some of the other writing services online, you ever really know what you are going to get. Sometimes, they just sell you a paper that someone else has already bought. I never have to worry about things like that happening when I use EssaysEmpire.com. |

I am 100% satisfied with the writer that you assigned to my project. This person understood exactly what I needed, even though I’m not the best communicator and the instructions were tedious and difficult. I felt certain I would have to send my paper back for a number of revisions, but I didn’t. The writer was able to convey exactly what I wished to express and he did it in record time!Thanks for everything. EssaysEmpire.com is the greatest! |

To the writers at EssaysEmpire.com: Next week, I will be graduating with a degree in clinical psychology. Over the course of my college years, I have had to turn to you for help many times. Each and every time, you produced some of the highest quality writing my professors had ever seen. Because of you, I was able to keep a high grade point average and get into an excellent grad school. There are simply no words adequate enough to fully express my appreciation, so I’ll simply say, “thank you” and let it go at that. Please know that you are appreciated. |
