[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The writing is great and the anecdotes are super compelling - subtlety humorous, show personal growth.[/quote]

Do you recognize it as his normal style of writing? (Yes, I'm asking if he plagiarized it from somewhere.)

[quote]The problem is, I'm fairly certain they're totally made up. Or maybe based on something that happened, but the details don't ring a bell to me. [/quote]

Again this might lead me to suspect plagiarism.

If you think he [i]could [/i]have written it but he's inventing or embellishing, eh let it go.[/quote]

I'm 100% sure it's not plagiarized. Totally his writing style. Especially the subtlety funny part.

Like for example...if his essay was about being lead trombonist in band, and the conductor was difficult, but he learned how to get along with him. And he actually IS in band, and I know the conductor was difficult -  but I'm pretty sure the examples and anecdotes he used to illustrate their relationship never happened. [/quote]

This is really fine imo, and I’m no softie on issues like this. [/quote]
