Websites can either write the Essay for you or give guidelines for writing the Essay yourself. Kate Hindman has written an essay titled “Free Essay Websites: A Convenient Way to Plagiarize” in which she compares two websites, writemyessay.com and Essay-911.com; both are designed to write your “plagiarism free” essay. After visiting each website, I can see how a student would find it very tempting to just kick back and order his or her essay like ordering a specialty pizza for dinner. They click on each ingredient that is required in the essay, provide a credit card and hit the “Order Now” button, their specialty essay in the way. The student has purchased a custom paper and has bought every word. But, the work and effort put forth into the essay is not theirs. Both websites, mentioned in Ms Hindman’s essay, are very convincing with their effort to insure the buyer this is not plagiarism.
Websites that will provide guidelines to write your essay yourself are just as easy to find. Enotes.com for example, their website only guides you with their “How to……” articles. They even have a “How to Avoid Plagiarism” article.
The choice totally lies with the student. They can purchase an essay and hold their breath hoping the teacher does not suspect they have cheated. The other choice is to buckle down, do the research and write their essay.
