Plagiarism is theft of another person's writings or ideas. Placing one's own name on someone else's work is the simplest and yet the most extreme form of Plagiarism. Imitation, adaptation, or pastiche is not always easily separable from Plagiarism. However, it is usually distinguished by its dishonest intention.

Making children read books as early as possible is the best move ever parent can make. If you are a parent, you want to make sure that your kids will flourish as they grow.
