Hello all.  I have a teacher who suspects plagiarism on a book report.  If
anyone can help out with the following, I'd be most appreciative.

"Caucasia is a thoughtful and heartfelt story about the conflicts of an
interracial family on the run from the FBI in the 1970's...  When her
marriage first ended Sandy coped how most women do, ruminative stle (pg.
440), but eventually adopted the distracting style (pg. 440) until she was
able to move on... According the the text (chapter three), it is stated that
family, peers and school have a strong influence on how children develop and
the attitudes they they adopt...Throughout the text, family is stressed and
the importance of it but sisterhood is not really mentioned."

We have no plagiarism software to check, but she and I have both checked
using google.

Thanks,

Mary Wolfe
