I searched the poem and song lyric and after reading both, Stereo Hear by Gym Class Heroes and A red, Red Rose by Robert Burns, I can compare and contrast this way:
COMPARING
• Both authors use the exaggeration technique to make emphasis on the intensity of their love.
• Both apply a combination of metaphor and simile in their lines.
• Both main characters of the song and poem are men talking to the woman they are in love with.
• Both are focusing on only one woman and not love in general.
CONTRASTING
• Stereo heart compares his heart to a stereo, explaining the way he loves and how nature it is while the Poem, A red red rose describes how he will love his lady till the end.
• Robert Burns in the poem is revealing/saying something to his lady while in the song, the author is mostly asking questions about what the woman will do.
Answer:
b) Unacceptable
Explanation:
This is an <u>unacceptable</u> form of citation, as it closely resembles the original text. Regardless of identifying the author and including the page number, the student still committed an act of plagiarism.
The purpose of <u>paraphrasing</u> text is to communicate the author's ideas or main points using your own words. This is an alternative way of referencing the concepts or literary work of other authors without using direct quotation. In academic writing, students are strongly urged to cite their source of information. If it is too challenging to paraphrase a text, then it is best to directly quote your original source as an in-text citation. It is also important to include the author's last name and the page number of the text (if using the MLA formatting style).
