talkstowolvesThis is a summer school essay turned in by one of the Little Miss Plagiarist Pants:
"I don't really no anything about the book because I don't like reading. All I no the book is all about this half wolf and half man. He met this little boy in woods. And the book was alright. It maybe very interesting because its about half wolf half man."
Yes, that's the entire thing.
I controlled myself (barely), and simply wrote:
"You could at least have read the back of the book-- or even looked up a summary on-line!"
This "essay" was about White Fang by Jack London. They had about six weeks to read it.
