I'm good with essays and the like, but I'm not sure what you're asking... Actually, I'm not sure if you asked anything at all, but this- http://www.sparknotes.com/ - should help you :)
The names of the books might help too! |

Just make sure not to copy someone else's work. If you have more than five words that aren't your own words, you'll be done for plagiarism. So be careful. |

It's everywhere, in any school, college or uni. It doesn't matter. It's a serious crime. And if they check, you could possibly be expelled. |

Dude, they caught my brother's friend for it in elementary school. He copied a poem and changed the title to it, and he almost got tossed out of school when he got caught. All the teacher did was Google Search the first line, and it turned out that it was already a published poem.
In my school (a high school), we have to submit all of our essays to a website that automatically checks them for plagiarism. You can get expelled for cheating/copying, and it goes on your permanent record, which really hurts your chances of going to college. |

instead of copying. read through the essay, pick out key ideas of it then put them in your own words. its not plagarism, its research. |

I recomend you do it, do what Ozz said get the plot etc, but make sure include a few relivant qutoes from any section out of the story. |

The only thing you CAN do, is quote something and then reference where it came from.
Or like what JCB said, put it in your own words, and make sure it actually is your own words, not changing two words and saying that's that. |
