Re: Tris
Hi Tris!
I think that it is flattering that you would want to use this but in your review, you said that you needed your own imagination, meaning you need to write your own. I understand the feeling of liking something so much that you want to use it for school but bear in mind that my friend I had put a lot of effort and time into this poem.
Everyone knows that putting your work up on a public space is quite dangerous as it will open up the doors of plagiarism.
I know you want to use it but I'm asking you to not use it for your English class. It is one of the most saddest things when an author I love has to take down their work because of other people stealing it and calling it their own. One of the worst things a writer can feel is when someone else takes a piece of work that the writer takes pride in and had put so much effort in, and says that I belonged to them, when it really wasn't.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is this: Tris, please don't use this in your English lesson if it requires you to use your own imagination, not to take someone else's work.
If you would like however, I would love to work with you to write your own poem if that is what you desire, just please don't plagiarise.
This author's note is also to everyone else.
Please. Do not take other people's work and call it yours. These people had put so much into these and yet you just take their pride and joy away from them, essentially taking away their happiness, thus, making you a bad person.
If you see anyone plagiarising, immediately tell the real author so that it can be reported.
Copying others' work is horrible and I simply don't understand why anyone would want to do such a bad thing.
On the up side, I'm pleased to inform you (Harry Potter reference anyone?) that my friend and I are writing another poem but this time, about Harry Potter.
(Shoutout [{'SHOUTOUT' - Louis Tomlinson}Sorry for all the references] to Written in a Dream for helping us choose which book to do)
So, look out for that in the near future, live well, stay happy and hopefully, I'll see you guys in a bit.
Love you guys,
xx
