A sotry can be considered plagiarized if it literally copies another story's plot, word per word, or just scrambles the copied plot in some other paragraph.

Something original is when you don't copy another story's plot; however, clichés cannot be confused with plagiarism, they're completely different.

However, I'm not sure if paraphrasing sentences can be considered plagiarism.
