Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 There is one truth. To spread it, repeating of old findings is necessary. I study ancient history, and there, it is totally acceptable and required to repeat what was found before. All Roman historians used earlier Greek and Roman works as basis, and this was normal. In Hinduism too, it is considered required to quote previous sastras for validity. In Celtic lore, the Bard must learn by heart the previous tales exactly, and the lineages. Indeed, in writing about young girls journeys through puberty, there are standard things that come up, like going to 170 specialty stores. She should have changed the number and the wording more. Her speed of writing is her problem. She was a bad plagiarizer. Haste makes waste, and lawsuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
