Plagerisum is bad!

There are many differnt types of plagerisum such as ... ""The Labor of Laziness" The writer takes the time to paraphrase most of the paper from other sources and make it all fit together, instead of spending the same effort on original work." (http://www.plagiarism.org/plag_article_types_of_plagiarism.html)and that's just one of them there are more and that's only when the source is not cited. Most people think that if they cite the source that they arnt plagerizing. If your going to take some ones ideas you should give them credit. Also teachers hate and know when you plagerize because they know how well you write.

Harlem
BY LANGSTON HUGHES
What happens to a dream deferred?

      Does it dry up
      like a raisin in the sun?
      Or fester like a sore—
      And then run?
      Does it stink like rotten meat?
      Or crust and sugar over—
      like a syrupy sweet?

      Maybe it just sags
      like a heavy load.

      Or does it explode?

I like this poem because you can experiment with it. There is always a sort of rhythmic tone and it has a lot of discriptive imagery. I like the end where it says "or does it explode?" because it is a great way to end with a question it makes the reader think more and it helps draw them back to read the poem again, that's how it drew me in. That is also the question that brought me back to this poem.

Now I do know that this isn't the ideal poem where it rhymes, poems don't have to rhyme. Some poems get twisted arowned The "rules" but poetry is about feeling ps not format. It's about getting out you message to the world. Most poems don't fallow the typical rhyming.

Blog posts that I like

I liked Israt's blog post THE ABSOLUTELY TRUE DIARY OF A PART TIME INDIAN: spoiler alert because I haven't read the book yet and she made me want to read it. It wasn't too long so that it would be boring but it wasn't to short that it wouldn't have any key features. I read it even though it was a spoiler alert.and it was really detailed and just in general a great blog post. The next blog that I read and liked was Grace's blog on plagerisum because it gets the point out that PLAGERISUM IS BAD and that kids shouldn't do plagerize. And she had some really good points that helps if you feel like plagerizing like... "2. Instead of using the exact words from the article, the student could have paraphrased and said something like this: There is a feeling of peace and calmness in this painting. Maybe the contrast between the dark shades of blue and the bright warm reds, golds, and oranges symbolize childhood memories of happier, simpler times. The night sky represents the dull sadness of Van Gogh's life as an adult but the stars are there to symbolize the distant memories that live on. That was an example of paraphrasing. I used the same idea of the original text but instead of copying the words, I used my own." Which helps me since I always have the thought that my words wouldn't mean the same or won't work as well so that is one tatick that I use.
