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.

The topic for my assigned essay was very intense. It involved a lot of research and knowledge of the subject. The writer who took care of it for me seemed to be a real expert. I found that so impressive! I just had to drop a line to let you know how much I appreciated the work he did. |

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! |

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! |

The paper that your writers did for me on the topic of, The Psychological Effects of Fluorescent Lighting in the Workplace,” was right on the money! They included my long list of customizations and did not charge extra for them. The formatting was just right. There were no grammatical errors. The length was what it was supposed to be. I am so happy that I chose to let the EssaysEmpire.com writers take care of my paper for me. I will choose this writing service again without hesitation. |

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! |

Dear EssaysEmpire.com, I would like to put in a good word for Writer #32412. He was really under the gun. I didn’t give him much notice because I had my dates mixed up and my paper was due sooner than I expected. He didn’t let me down, though. He wrote until the paper was perfected. I handed it in on time got an A+ and wish your writers could accept tips, because I would leave this guy a HUGE one! |
