Plagiarism

How would you respond if you were convicted of plagiarism?
    -if i was convicted of plagiarism, i would have one of two reactions. first, if i had plagiarised, and knowingly cheated, then i would feel ashamed and i would know i derserve punishment. but, if i hadnt plagiarised, or didnt mean to plagiarise, then i would feel that i didnt deserve pounishment, or atleast not a drastic punishment.  

How would your parents respond?
    -my parents would not be happy with me, and they would punish me themselves, on top of whatever school punishment i received. they would never trust me to write a paper again, and would make sure that i learn my lesson.

Do you feel as if you deserve a passing grade because you parents pay tuition?
     -no, regardless of my parents paying tuition, its still cheating and lieing. money should have no effect on whether or not the law is is fulfilled

Does this story affect your view of plagiarism?
     -yes, it makes plagiarism seem more real to a teenager like me and it shows me that this stuff realy haoppens and that it has real life consiquences

What do you take away from this narrative?
     -i see this story as mostly a culture shock. this proves that real, avergae students ccan mess up and plagiarise, and that if it happens it will affect more than just their grade or their life, it can also affect their school and even their town.
