A friend of mine wrote an essay for hsc english 6 years ago and he gave it to me. I used the general gist and direction of it to write my own essay but its pretty similar. Would I be caught for Plagiarism in the HSC?

Don't use the same quotes, find other quotes in the movie that are similar and suggest the same stuff and try and reword/rephrase the explanation in your own words. Also, try structuring the paragraph differently, as in swap the sentences around or even swap the paragraphs around.

Yes we HSC markers have records of all essays written by students, we will type in sentences of your essay into the database, and if it matches you will be getting a zero
