My 15 year old brother, (Who might I say had atroscious English last time I seen him, worse than mine), sent me his essay. I was shocked. Like whoa, where did that come from. I am sure he has plagerised something. That is not his writing.

e""""ducating rita course-work
introduction

I will be writting to express the story educating rita, wrote by the dramatist willy russell. The opening of the scene in the play, 'educating rita' gives a good, fantastic and an effective introduction by using stage, dialoge and vivid characters to the play as a whole willy russell wrote and his becuase it was based on his life story. The themes that introduce the characters are a overtly and bubbly working class.

The plot of the novel is about, a twenty six year old middle age woman called susan white other-wise known as rita. And her occupation is works as a hiardresser.

introduction

In1918 mary shelley wrote frankenstein, a man made monster brought to life by a mad proffessor called victor frankenstein, using electricity and corpses in a grave-yard.
The author Mary Shelley lived in a society filled with greed and enticement. She has great romantic ideals of the existence of god and the beauty of nature. Shelley is able to use these ideals to condem the main character Victor Frankenstein, the mad scientist.

The plot of the novel was that victor frankenstein was to create a monster from the living dead and succed, which he did. But instead of this, frankenstien found victor frankensteins notebook in which he was planning to create him. frankenstien suddenly realized that he was created from dead body parts and was tromatized after looking at himself in a mirror. So he went in search for his creator.

The significant content in chapter five is that the character frankenstein was created which through-out goes horribly wrong. When this happens victor frankenstein begins to think that he is god, as he has brought something back to life . It is also in chapter five that shelley intimidates victor frankenstein by saying,''a black comfortless sky''.
She also recremendes us that the monster will stay close too frankenstein.

Chapter five is where we get information from shelley about frankensteins the 'mordern prometheus'. like victor frankenstein ''he would pioneer a new way'' in his revolt against god. Whereas unlike frankenstein prometheus is punished by god, whilst frankenstein is suffuring from his own creation. We also learn that frankenstein seems to be putting others around him danger.

The linkage of the events in chapter five, to the larger themes of the novel are science and religion because victor frankensteins creation of frankenstein makes him feel like god and when shelley says,''her romantic ideals lie in the mere existence of god and the sublime beauty of nature''. And proven of the science thoery nothing can be created or detroyed, apart from god, i believe.
Another linkage is also science and nature this may also be that when victor frankenstein transported the corpse from grave-yard to place to be created this is interfering with nature, and when frankenstein was brought to life useing electricity or spark, ( also known as galvanism ) this about science and nature.

Main body of the essay

chapter five is crucially important as shelley deliberately trys to destroy victors experiment, as it introduces the birth of his demonical corpse, (frankenstein). Perhaps she tries this to sabotage victors experiment to demonstrate how idiotic and misguided he was. Now that he, victor frakenstein has created something so incredible, things will never be same as he now knows that he is capible and has achieved creating a life. This will create a chian of events to victor frankensteins life as he now knows what has happened.

Shelley decribes the setting and enviroment by saying,'' rain pattered dismally ''. A point i could suggest is that shelley uses in the qoatation two adjectives after the noun, to create suspence and tention to the reader. One other point about the setting is the qoate,'' candle was nearly burnt out '', this could be suggesting that victors ambitions are becoming extinguished. The character victor frankenstein must be a inspirational character and experimental person.

victor frankensteins feelings in chapter four to chapter five are different as his feelings become so comsumed with greatness and superiority in chapter four. and in chapter five he feels insecure of the demonical corpse he has created. from now victor frankenstein will move on as he now knows its wrong to bring something back from the dead and brought himself to an end. in my opinion i think from the start victor frankenstein should have not have abandoned frankenstein, as he could have changed things around, from bieng wanted by this new life form to bieng loved by frankenstein.

and also in my opinion altogher i think that creating life from the dead useing corpse of all parts is totally wrong because, frankenstein didn't have any mother or father to nurture him. so really he would feel after seeing victor frankensteins notebook, misplaced, shocked and lonely.
basically made from nothing. as frankenstein came from the grave-yard
, this would corispond as nature and nurture is how he was brought up either in a good enviroment or in a bad enviroment it would depend on what he would call normal, for example if he was born in a bad enviroment full violence and abuse, until he is say twenty-one he would think that is normal as he bieng brought up like that and used to it. i think in todays society if this was to happen, it would most definitly corispond.

I know he has copied and pasted this, it is not his language.

Can anyone tell me where it is from?

It is from a far off land that has an aversion to proper capitalization, a penchant for redundancy, an inability to utilize indefinite articles correctly, and where thesauruses are but a myth passed down through the generations.

In other words, it is from America.

I knew that, I meant the exact source, I have just been debating with him for the past hour pointing out the americanised words and structure. He said that is the way he writes, so I am going through it with a marker highlighting everything I know that is not from him, I see some parts are his, but a lot of it is from elsewhere.

I was hoping someone might recognise it and tell me a source where it might be copied from.

You can usually bust a plagiarist with mere Google. In this case, I have little to add to Steuss's assessment. 'Tis a jumbledygook of jibber jabber hooha that defies intelligence. Perhaps my favorite line is "The author Mary Shelley lived in a society filled with greed and enticement."

No more, I say! The semester is over and I still live---and this time there were a few minutes where I thought I'd be totted up as another campus violence statistic...
