Long quotation:
Nelly Dean treats Heathcliff poorly and dehumanizes him
throughout her narration:
They entirely refused to have it in bed with them, or even intheir room, and I had no more sense, so, I put it on the landingof the stairs, hoping it would be gone on the morrow. Bychance, or else attracted by hearing his voice, it crept to Mr.
Earnshaw's door, and there he found it on quitting hischamber. Inquiries were made as to how it got there; I wasobliged to confess, and in recompense for my cowardice andinhumanity was sent out of the house (Bronte 78).

source materials while taking notes.Lester, James D. Writing Research Papers. 14th ed. New York:Pearson, 2010. Print.

Test yourself!Is there plagiarism here?Original Source Material: Good writing has an aliveness that keeps the
reader reading from one paragraph to the next, and it's not a question ofgimmicks to "personalize” the author. It’s a question of using the Englishlanguage in a way that will achieve the greatest strength and the leastclutter.
Source: Zinsser, William. On Writing Well. Oxford: Oxford UP, 2007. Print.
An important quality of good writing is "aliveness" (Zinsser

Test yourself!Is there plagiarism here?Original Source Material: I first went down the Colorado River in the Grand
Canyon in May of 1976, just after writing a book on the Green River,during which time I had studiously avoided running the Colorado Riverbecause I didn't want to lose focus, didn't want to be over-whelmed bythis massive canyon, this overpowering river. When that book was over-and published, I wanted to complete my time of river running with the
ultimate: the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, sure that I would writeno more river books, do no more river trips, and this rowing trip would bethe grand finale (so to speak).
Source: Zwinger, Ann H. The Grand Canyon: Intimate Views. Harvard: HarvardUP, 1998. Print.
Though writer Ann Zwinger devoted much of her adult life to studyingand writing about rivers, she carefully avoided the Colorado River formany years. Zwinger didn't want to be overcome by this magnificentriver. Instead, she wanted to save the Colorado River until the end of hercareer as a river runner, believing that it "would be the grand finale“
