Jamal is not considered as a very good
writer since he consequently is plagiarized on his paper, even though he commits
plagiarism unknowingly in the film. It seems that Jamal is surely affected by
his background from previous high school. The school in Bronx which is located
poor area has a distracted atmosphere in the class so that I could imagine that
they would not have strict rule as for academic conduct and plagiarism as well.
Beyond his background, to be a very good writer, Jamal should be well-informed
of understanding of plagiarism. As can be seen in column4, most students which
are occupied by 70 percentages do not think he is a very good writer.
Jamal submits his paper worked with
Forrester and there is a fight between Jamal and Forrester on this problem. It
seems that Forrester does not want to be revealed his life and exposed to the
others, however, Jamal hands in his writing without concerning the promise that
Forrester asks Jamal not to hand in his writing paper to composition class.
Therefore, I contend that he did not understand the intention of Forrester.
According to the column5, only one-third of students responded that Jamal
understand what Forrester asks and the rests said he did not understand.
I think Jamal intentionally missed the
chance to win by not making two free balls successfully. It was an opportunity
to escape from plagiarism with two free balls which lead the win for the team; however,
he did not make it. In the film, he glances at Professor Crawford before
shooting. Jamal is good at shooting so that no one think that he would miss, however,
I could guess that he looks angry at the situation people focus on basketball competition, not his paper. About this question, almost three quarters
of students replied it was on intention.
