I am guilty of stealing ideas from books. When I write I can read a book and out of my imagination from reading a line I can express my opinion. A lot of writers get ideas from reading books. I would write a paper in my own words because I read lots of books had many classes so I can elaborate using my theory to explain my thoughts and opinions. I never copied word for word but I did steal ideas from other source’s without copying them. I’m not guilty of plagiarism. I had a works cited page with resources listed.
