It's wise to avoid plagiarism when you are writing. Not just because it's generally considered morally unjustifiable, but because it's in your best interest to do the work it takes to formulate your own ideas. That's the whole point of writing essays in the first place.

All writers use the writings of others to come up with ideas and develop their own writings. Reading and using the writings of others is a great first step to growing your potential as a writer. That said, when you use other's writings to help your own writing, it's important to consider their writings carefully to come up with your own perspective, rephrase ideas in your own voice, and be sure to site the source whenever applicable.

I hope you have a great time writing your essays and I will be happy to help you along the way.

My apologies for not being clearer in my previous response. Here are some tips to help you avoid plagiarism:

Paraphrase: When you find information that you want to use in your essay, read it carefully and then rephrase it in your own words. This way, you are not copying someone else's work, but instead, you are using the information to support your own ideas.

Cite your sources: Whenever you use information or ideas from another source, be sure to give credit to the original author by citing the source. There are several citation formats available, such as MLA, APA, and Chicago style, and your instructor will likely specify which one you should use.

Use plagiarism-checking tools: There are many online plagiarism-checking tools that can help you identify any passages in your essay that may be too similar to other sources. This will give you the opportunity to rewrite those passages and ensure that your work is original.

Write in your own voice: Lastly, it's important to write in your own voice and style. Even if you are using information from other sources, you should strive to make it your own by using your own perspective and unique way of expressing yourself.

I hope these tips help you avoid plagiarism and write essays that are original and well-researched. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask!
