Put those chunks together to make something entirely your own. No reference or similarity to the original item is necessary. No one will ever really know where you got it from and how that original item influenced you. You could explain it, if you wanted, but I haven't seen anyone do it so far.Jo Janoskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09206890846490911655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12339846.post-75486618446641249292008-01-20T11:34:00.000-05:002008-01-20T11:34:00.000-05:00Hi, Jo...

I did try to research it a little, however, and Wikipedia defines it as "the rearrangement of words, phrases, and sometimes whole passages that are taken from other sources and reframed as poetry by changes in spacing and/or lines (and consequently meaning), or by altering the text by additions and/or deletions." <BR/><BR/>My question is, without a knowledge of unreferenced material, how is the reader supposed to evaluate the meaning of the selected words or phrases? Is it implicit within the words or is an external knowledge of them important? <BR/><BR/>Just wondering...Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01650967162729244014noreply@blogger.com
