Student # 39

1) Look at the student’s work.

Hawaii Annexation

 

you have GOT to be kidding me!! I just finished a fabulous bit about why we wanted Hawaii and little did we know how well is would serve us in the long run blah blah blah and when I went to save answer it said something like "DNS server cannot be found" or something like that. It wouldn't let me "save" or "help" so I reloaded and SURPRIIISSSSE no Hawaii. I don't know if it is going to let me submit this ..... let us see

Did the student write in his own words? Or did the student do what The Bedford Handbook calls “unacceptable borrowing” or plagiarism? Can you prove it?
