4. Definition of Plagiarism
Although there are many forms and variations of plagiarism and academic dishonesty, in general, plagiarism is using the words and/or ideas of another without properly giving credit to the source(s).
It should be noted that unintentional plagiarism is plagiarism nonetheless.
In addition to obvious methods of plagiarism such as intentionally representing someone else's words as one's own, other acts such as "making up" sources, turning in work done in fulfillment of another course, or receiving excessive assistance are all forms of academic dishonesty, and subject to the penalties for plagiarism.

9. How to Introduce, Cite, and Analyze
Elaine Showalter would disagree with the interpretation of the demonized baby that poses a threat to the mother; using a feminist approach, she emphasizes the social and economic conditions that bind women and drive them into insanity. According to her, the narrator in “The Yellow Wallpaper” is “a woman driven mad by her enforced confinement and passivity” whereas the rest cure “is a sinister parody of idealized Victorian femininity: inertia, privatization, narcissism, dependency. In particular, the weight gain that was considered an essential part of the cure was a kind of pseudo-pregnancy” (247). The narrator is on the brink of insanity not because of her own weakness of any kind, but because she is driven into insanity by unreasonable and unfair expectations.

13. How do I know the difference between a long vs. a short quotation?

14. Short vs. Long Quotations
A quotation is “long” if it is more than four lines.
Block Indent (Hit “Tab” twice)
Whereas the wallpaper can be interpreted as a reflection of the narrator’s individual struggle, the wallpaper pattern can also be seen as the “pattern” of the social and economic dependence of women, or even as prison bars that confine women to the domestic sphere. Paula A. Treichler views the woman in the wallpaper as a slave in the domestic sphere. She argues that “the yellow wallpaper represents. . . the “pattern” of social and economic dependence which reduces women to domestic slavery. . . all women” (190).
The narrator writes about her discovery that not one but many women are hidden behind the pattern:
Through watching so much at night, when it changes so, I have finally found out. The front pattern does move--and no wonder! The woman behind shakes it! Sometimes I think there are a great many women behind, and sometimes only one and she crawls around fast, and her crawling shakes it all over. (Gilman, “Yellow ” 16)
Notice difference in period placement between short and long quotations.

16. Avoid “Dropped Quotations”

17. Direct Quotation vs. Indirect Quotation (Paraphrase)
The wallpaper is dull and ugly, but the narrator watches it closely for extended periods of time. The unruly pattern reflects the narrator’s own confused mental state as she follows its unpredictable paths that suddenly come to illogical endings. (Gilman,“Yellow” 5).
The narrator states, “It is dull enough to confuse the eye in following, pronounced enough to constantly irritate and provoke study, and when you follow the lame uncertain curves for a little distance they suddenly commit suicide-plunge off at outrageous angles, destroy themselves in unheard of contradictions” (Gilman, “Yellow” 5).
Indirect Quotation
Indirect quotations (paraphrases) must be cited!
