The survey shows
that about two thirds of students view the writing skill does not matter to the
decision about plagiarism. This suggests that the background of an author is
not proportional to his/her personality and code of academic conduct. In this
movie, Jamal is a talented writer who can impress the Pulitzer-Price winner- Forrester,
but he did rewrite one paragraph of Forrester's work without giving any credit
to Forrester. It means Jamal did not follow academic code and Crawford’s charge
is reasonable. Therefore, there is no direct relation between one’s writing
skill and one’s academic conduct. Moreover, almost three fourths of students in
this survey responded that Jamal doesnt understand why Forrester told him not
to submit anything he wrote with Forrester. I agree with the majority people
because Jamal submitted his article which was finished in Forrester's apartment,
meanwhile, Forrester is a reclusive author who keeps himself away from the outside
world because of his past. Consequently, Jamal did not understand Forrester's thought and kept his promise to Forrester. In addition, in my view, Jamal
intentionally miss the last two free throws because after he missed the first free
throw, he looked around, making eye contacts with Crawford and Clarie, then he
did the same throw gesture as the first failed one. If he did mistakenly miss
the first ball, he would adjust his gesture to make the second happen, but he
did not. More than twice as many students in the survey hold the same opinion
as mine.
