There are people who think this way. Who didn’t realize “The Hobbit” (and LOTR) were loosely based on existing books. But now, I’m surprised they didn’t come out with watered-down, simplified novels for the movies. Publishing thinks less and less of it’s readers and is mandating that authors not use compound sentences, keep the paragraphs short, and write everything at an 8th grade level. Are they correct in thinking so low of their audience, or are they trying to make their readers dim?
I think it’s stupid that there’s not just one standard for all writing. That being said, I love to mix styles and find a way to say something that’s correct in one style and wrong in another.
I was taking a class and we had to write a paper on why plagiarism is wrong. I was the only student in the class to illustrate my paper with a comic strip.
