Not Plagerism?

Am I the only one to see the amazing resemblance to Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse five?

No, I don't. What do you mean? In what specific way?

[–] tzippyz 8 years ago

The protagonist ended up in a cage on a planet Tralfamadore. He is watched sort of like in a zoo.

But he knows he is watched. And it wasn't his entire life. Might as well say that The Truman Show plagiarises the concept of a Zoo.

Please, please learn to AT LEAST type the _TWO_ (2) small words in your title correctly. Is that too much to ask?

There's no such thing as 'plagerism', it's 'plagiarism'. Why can I know this, but you can't, although you are the one trying to type that word for your.. do I need to reiterate? .. TITLE?

I mean, you can have typos in a long post, that's a given - but to have an 'american typo' in the VERY TITLE? WHY? HOW?

There's no hope for humanity, you must be a Gen Z.
