I need help with writing my paper and plagiarism stuff.?

Well quoting isn't plagiarizing if you give credit to the source in your essay. But as far as summarizing/paraphrasing goes, you should read a source and take notes, not full sentences- just short notes like maybe events, who/what/where/when/why or people etc... just jot some stuff down. Writing a paragraph or two about him wouldn't be plagiarizing as long as you don't copy the paragraph from somewhere.
