Blog 10 Answer to Survey Questions

In my view, Jamal definitely plagiarizes when he rewrites William Forrester’s article to participate the Writing competition. The reason is Jamal cites William’s article without permission and reference list. Jamal’s professor, Crawford indicates Jamal is plagiarizing. But I think Forrester should support Jamal because Jamal has kept secret for William. The fourth question describes whether Jamal is a good writer even he plagiarized. However, I think he is a good writer even he is charged of plagiarism. He does not plagiarize intentionally because he has promised that he will not tell anyone about William Forrester. From the data in survey, totally 70% people choose “No”, so it should not matter the plagiarism that Jamal is a good writer. The fifth question discusses whether Jamal understand why William tell Jamal not to bring anything out of the apartment. More than 70% people think Jamal actually does not understand Forrester because Jamal still uses Forrester’s writing to participate in the writing competition. This is same to my opinion that Jamal chooses to rewrote Forrester’s article can directly illustrate that he misunderstands William. The last question presents about how to determine Jamal misses the two vital free throws in the championship game is whether intentional or not. My intuition tells me Jamal is the one who may not miss the easy free throw shots twice. Also, from the movie, Jamal’s glance at Claire and Crawford suggests me to believe to thought is right. Almost 70% informant think Jamal lead the miss intentionally which is same with me.
