Correct Paraphrasing
|
Sherlock Holmes was an incredibly popular character. In fact, when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle chose to kill off his most famous creation, his readers treated the death of the fictional detective just like the death of an actual person. Some readers wore mourning, others cried. Doyle even received hate mail from long-time fans. (Tibbetts, 184). |
This paraphrasing is correct. The student has taken the main ideas and facts from Tibbetts' passage and rewritten them in his or her own words. Tibbetts’ distinctive phrases are gone. And there is a notation at the end that cites the page in The Encyclopedia of Novels into Film to show where the student got these ideas.
