Catharsis is the purification and purgation of emotionsespecially pity and fearthrough art or any extreme change in emotion that results in renewal and restoration. It is a metaphor originally used by Aristotle in the Poetics, comparing the effects of tragedy on the mind of a spectator to the effect of a cathartic on the body.


Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work.
Plagiarism is considered academic dishonesty and a breach of journalistic ethics. It is subject to sanctions like penalties, suspension, and even expulsion. Recently, cases of 'extreme plagiarism' have been identified in academia. The modern concept of plagiarism as immoral and originality as an ideal emerged in Europe in the 18th century, particularly with the Romantic movement.


· MLA: Parenthetical citation in MLA style must include at least the author's name. It should also include the page number if a specific page is cited, and a short title if more than one work by the same author is listed in the Works Cited page at the end of the paper.

Example 1: "In 'Escaping the demon,' a story about mental illness, the protagonist's point of view is portrayed through a mosaic style which the narrator refers to as "looking at life through broken glass" (Williams 12).
· APA: Very similar to MLA. APA in-text citation must include at least the author's name; also, the year of publication (with letters for multiple sources published the same year [1989a, 1989b]), and the page number, designated as p. 123. APA uses more commas to separate blocks of information than MLA.

Example 1: Hoffenstreich's first book (1995) was a masterpiece of threaded narration.
