no lol? Ideas vary. If thats the case, what you have just typed is plagarism. Plagarising the English language is condered a plagarism.

For creatives, what if two students display similar ideas, worded very differently. For example, story both begins with a birthday party, then flashback occurs. Is this plagiarism?
No.

You can easily tell whether an essay is derived from another. It usually has the same chronology of techniques, same ORT, some identical sentences which the kid CBF to alter.

As I said, and others have repeated, the chances of you getting caught is extremely small.

BUT, yes there's always a but, It's not so far fetched that you can't get caught. You'd be surprised how small this world is. One kid buys creative off here. He gives it to his friend to look at. That friend gives it to a few others, etc... Before you know it, 500 kids have the same creative piece.

Same thing, especially if the creative has distinct ideas.

Like about a guy skateboarding on the moon. Is there a chance someone else in NSW can think of that? Probably. Is there a chance that they thought of that idea, and happened to have twenty identical sentences from the other creative? No.

What happens if its a broad idea. Example, two guys writing about a guy riding a skateboard on a moon, then flashback occurs, then complication arises (but different complication), the order of these events for both creatives occurs at the time in chronological order. Is this plagarism?

As stipulated by BOS,

Plagiarism is:

Copying and pasting information from the internet.
Using the ideas of others as if they were your own.
Copying and pasting information from the internet, then changing the words.

To me- bottom line is: Don't do it. You're only cheating yourself. And really, it is a very small world. Please be careful! :)
