Frequently Asked Questions

What does the percentage mean?


The percentage shown in the AI writing detection indicator and in the AI writing report is the amount of qualifying text within the
submission that Turnitin's AI writing detection model determines was generated by AI.

Our testing has found that there is a higher incidence of false positives when the percentage is less than 20. In order to reduce the
likelihood of misinterpretation, the AI indicator will display an asterisk for percentages less than 20 to call attention to the fact that
the score is less reliable.

However, the final decision on whether any misconduct has occurred rests with the reviewer/instructor. They should use the
percentage as a means to start a formative conversation with their student and/or use it to examine the submitted assignment in
greater detail according to their school's policies.

How does Turnitin's indicator address false positives?


Our model only processes qualifying text in the form of long-form writing. Long-form writing means individual sentences contained in paragraphs that make up a
longer piece of written work, such as an essay, a dissertation, or an article, etc. Qualifying text that has been determined to be AI-generated will be highlighted blue
on the submission text.

Non-qualifying text, such as bullet points, annotated bibliographies, etc., will not be processed and can create disparity between the submission highlights and the
percentage shown.

What does 'qualifying text' mean?


Sometimes false positives (incorrectly flagging human-written text as AI-generated), can include lists without a lot of structural variation, text that literally repeats
itself, or text that has been paraphrased without developing new ideas. If our indicator shows a higher amount of AI writing in such text, we advise you to take that
into consideration when looking at the percentage indicated.

In a longer document with a mix of authentic writing and AI generated text, it can be difficult to exactly determine where the AI writing begins and original writing
ends, but our model should give you a reliable guide to start conversations with the submitting student.

Disclaimer
Our AI writing assessment is designed to help educators identify text that might be prepared by a generative AI tool. Our AI writing assessment may not always be accurate (it may misidentify
both human and AI-generated text) so it should not be used as the sole basis for adverse actions against a student. It takes further scrutiny and human judgment in conjunction with an
organization's application of its specific academic policies to determine whether any academic misconduct has occurred.

Gendered Perspectives on Slavery: A Comparative Analysis of Douglass and Jacobs

The narratives of Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs display the unique views on

what actual slavery does to women in America. Through the text of “Narrative of the Life of

Frederick Douglass, an American Slave,” Douglass famously depicts the plight of being a slave

as a complete assault on his personhood and identity by declaring, “You have seen how a man is

created a slave; you shall see how a slave is created a man”. On the contrary, Jacobs, in a chapter

titled "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl," focuses on the uniquely heinous atrocities that

slaves and specifically slave women faced, and the conclusion is clearly stated: "Slavery is bad

for men, but it is bad for women all the more". Through a comparison of the lens choices and

ideas presented in these narratives, our essay will explain how stereotypes about masculinity and

femininity are further radicalized by the experiences of the male and the female slaves in society.

Through the studying of Douglass's and Jacobs' accounts and drawing upon the author’s critical

analytics we can expand our horizon on the paradoxes of gender and slave hood in the nineteenth

century America.

Gendered Perspectives in "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass"

Speaking of "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" Frederick Douglass illustrates

his enslavement as the worst destructive trampling of his masculinity and self-esteem. He fights

the emasculation resultant from the slavery and he activates his will from the subjection to

dehumanization. While experiencing the phenomenon of slavery, he faced many cruel forces,

like seeing enslaved men and women being tortured, which aggravates and brings more to light

slavery’s hideous nature. Finally, among other things he blames the unbearable psychological

trauma of slavery with the confusion of powerless and unworthy person. For instance, critics like

Brewton analyze Douglass's narrative point out that the idea of respect and self-making was the

anticipated core of manhood. In addition, we delve into the gendered issues surrounding his

autobiography. This juxtaposition of masculinity and resistance to tyranny in this narrative and

other autobiographies is vital to our understanding of the narrator and will help readers

appreciate the nuances of these texts in the future. (Douglass, 1994)

Gendered Perspectives in "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl"

Through "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl," Harriet Jacobs exposes an in-depth,

powerful insight into gender enslavement, referring to the very special kind of its which is

experienced by women. Jacobs portrays the unique hardships that were imposed on female slaves

in a masterful way, emphasizing the fact that everything they underwent was so destructive or

decrepit. At the center of Jacobs's narrative is the argument that the slaves suffer the most of

women. Indeed, she goes to reveal this with the utmost clarity. A great example of a painful

reality of women’s lives is this peculiar kind of suffering they have to go through in a society

built on slave trade. Varied forms of this suffering might include sex exploitation and

objectification, loss of independence and being deprived of doing things on their own. In

addition, Jacobs reduces her own ordeals of sexual harassment and assault in which she was

twice sold by her master and then severely beaten, thus helping to further explain the

depersonalizing consequences of slavery on the female physical and emotional well-being.

Moreover, she further clarifies how female slaves are subjected to combined form of oppression

by focusing on the aspect of denial of the motherhood and reproductive capacity that are being

viewed purely as commodities. (Jacobs, 2009)

Critical Literacy Analysis

In the "Incidence of a Life of a Slave Girl", which is written by Jacobs strongly shows

gendered aspects of slavery through the life of women. Jacobs stresses the role of these women

depicting the special belittlement which exists only in slavery system. These women face the

gender-based oppression and violence which permeate all of the slavery system. Sugarinta shete,

with finesse emphasizes the more awful effects on women slavery than men, therefore

recognizing, and the intersectional of the oppression. Jacobs puts down in a detailed way the

several incidences whereby, the women were sexually abused, exploited and their rights denied,

which features the dehumanizing moral effects of slavery on bodies and identities of women. In

her narrative, Jacobs describes what some may call the complexity of motherhood in institutions

with the exposure of the painful choices which exist in all enslaved women. Through the exercise

of secondary sources, e.g. O'Malley's analysis, we have a better understanding of the dimensions

of disproportionality of gender in seized or mourned society and the strong social consequences.

O'Malley's criticism of Jacobs' narrative emphasizes how storytelling is a strategic tool used to

illustrate the intersectional oppression experienced by enslaved females, leaving a crucial lesson

for us to learn which is that the power and resistance exhibited by these women are unique and

complex. (Drake, 1997)By means of both Jacobs's remembered narrative and The Legacy of

Gender-based Violence and Exploitation in the History of American Slavery, we are led to the

inevitable thought that the cross-generational transmission of female servitude and sexual

transgression continues to date.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, both Frederick Douglas's “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass”

and Harriet Jacobs's “Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl” eminently underscore the nuanced

gendered-perspectives of the experience of slavery. The dominant theme about Douglass's

narrative is on gender inequality like men maledictions and dehumanization while Jacobs

narration emphasize on the forms of mistreatment and subjugation peculiar to the females.

Douglass purely highlights the struggle of male plantation slaves to recover masculinity and

regain their humanity, meanwhile Jacobs concentrates on the female slavery nature which is

infiltrated and encompassed all by sexual violence and body ownership loss.

In-depth comprehension of these sex-determined realities is an essential for knowing how

complicated the American slavery was. Through the process of recognizing the particular kind of

oppression that operated specifically against enslaved men and women, we are better informed

about the social mechanisms that cut across race, gender, and power structures that affected the

enslaved men and women. This promotion gives us a base on which we can build and thus begin

to challenge the prejudice and falsehoods that are ingrained in our present-day historical

narratives and a platform to see the strength and determination which was shown by enslaved

people in spite of their oppressive situation.

By paying attention to and remembering the different experiences constructed in the

framework of historical narration, we give all people who have been at the margin and the

peoples who have been oppressed a chance to have their experiences recognized. Intensity

amplification through the promotion of the role the two personalities had in generating a more

diverse and inclusive history. Additionally, this monument places the emphasis on the issues of

empathy and solidarity and the fact that righteousness in overcoming the past and the way to a

new society has to be based on solidarity and empathy. With a critical eye we penetrate to the

very core of the notion that the slave narratives are made up of multiple forces that are often

intertwined like race, gender, and power. The slave narratives, because, among other things, they

present their stories as a shining example of the enduring legacy of slavery and the ongoing

struggle to achieve freedom and equality, are essential in our understanding of the time.
