Marcus:
As you know, it is required that all content in Quizzes (and elsewhere of course) be entirely student-created unless cited to a secondary source. (In ENG215CL, it is specified that use of secondary sources is largely not desired generally, and not at all in quizzes.)
Can you shed some light for me on two specific factors of your Quiz 3 answer?:
One, the paragraph/answer to Quiz 3 (first sentence) starts with “However . . .” as if from an ongoing writing/conversing.
Two, the second sentence starts “In sum,” with most of the answer following – not at all from a summarizing point.
I have copied the answer, in entirety, below – for your reference.
The quiz also seems, in total, to read as a review rather than addressing the question of what you saw/discovered as the anxieties in Nosferatu . . .
But first I would like the focus to be on points one and two, above. Which I find troubling, butI I want to give you a chance to address/clarify.
Please reply ASAP so I can move forward with evaluating your Quiz3 properly.

However, as if the 1922 silent film ‘Nosferatu’ directed by F.W. Murnau can hardly lift a finger, the themes of Nosferatu movies, namely the socio-cultural anxieties of the time, are still common and widespread. In sum, the film develops the theme surrounding the anxieties of facing the mysteries beyond the space boundary and the possibility of being polluted and corrupted by the other, especially from outside sources. Nosferatu, the cold-blooded hellish apparition of Orlok, the vampire, desecrates the peace of town Wisburg, and that kind of strange turns into the plague of death. His coming meets the falling of an infectious or epidemic disease, and that very catchy connection draws a dark omen from the attack of the plague. This impending fear unfortunately really struck home even more poignantly after the end of World War I and the fatal Spanish flu epidemic that hit the whole of the planet. Perhaps, most importantly, the foreign and gruesome outlook of Count Orlok symbolizes the frightfulness of the outlier and the discordant and the menace posed by the unique and different. On the one hand, in all aspects, he becomes the embodiment of the undermining of the values fundamental to society and the disruption of the established order – the main concerns on the social agenda in those years, related to the drastic changes in the world. Another critical theme the film explores is the fear people have been experiencing towards the coming of modernity and the big cities. The vampire’s invasion into the fairy tale town of Wisborg symbolizes the emergence of the unfamiliar places of the unknown. This is also when the risk of ghouls in the modern City’s darkness is evident. The immersed and besieged castle of the vampires is in sharp contrast with the well-laid-up and organized town, which sheds light on the tensions between the old and the new. For this, Nosferatu makes a masterpiece out of one collective dread of its times. It translates the vampire into multiple symbols, including death, foreigner, and the rapid societal changes that come with modernity. Although the piece’s central themes become more topical over time, it comes to the protagonist and the existence of their people; it outgrows its time because it deals with mortal fears that still plague our societies.
Tell the writer that the Professor caught plagarism in this work order and need an explanation. I need the writer to explain how it wasn’t plagarism and to rewrite this to make it not look like plagarism.
