Is paraphrasing and changing words plagiarism when writing a novel?
Just curious. Lets say this is the original.
1. Sandy knew it was wrong to hate her sister, but she couldn't help it. Nina was the evilest witch her knew. Prettier, taller, smarter and more popular, yes, there was a lot to hate about her darling sister.
The changed one:
Brian knew it wasn't right to despise his brother, but he couldn't help how he felt. Drew was the smuggest jerk he knew. Better looking, stronger, and more popular. Oh yes, hating his golden boy brother wasn't a hard thing to do.

It's plagiarism if the original source is still recognisable. You would probably get away with one paragraph, but people who deliberately plagiarise seldom do it just once.
Both samples are pretty dreary and dire. If you are going to "paraphrase and change", why not start with some really stellar writing?
I wouldn't count this as plagiarism, but it's awfully creepy to see the two passages one on top of the other. And I can't get beyond the fact that they are both awful. I'd like to see some bickering between the "loving" brothers (or sisters) that illustrates the point, rather than this emo crap.
Just be creative and write your own.
There's no need to take someone else's work and try to shoehorn it into your own story.
