Plagerism

I found plagiarism fun and entertaining; and before writing the paper, I felt that plagiarizing was going to be easy. All you had to do was copy some one's text and then use some synonyms, paraphrase, and hope you did not get caught. Then I made an effort to make plagiarism more interesting, because I remember Scott saying that points were going to be awarded to the best plagiarist. At this is the point I felt excitement, I wanted to challenge my writing abilities and determine if I could manipulate my writing style with some one's writing style to make the paper sound smooth. Also I wanted to challenge my classmates' ability to read, find, and figure out some one's writing style to determine where plagiarism was located, but most important to challenge Scott. This is the part that toke me the most time. I googled most of my sentences and carefully crafted my sentences not to have any word order or structure as the person I was trying to plagiarize, but I did leave some clues so my classmates could find where I plagiarized. This assignment seem more like a challenge and a game to me more than anything else.

Catch Me If You Can (2002) - Leonardo DiCaprio

Just say I thought of the assignment as "Catch Me If You Can" and me starring as Leonardo DiCaprio, and every in the class as the FBI. I didn't feel as though I was doing a bad thing because our intent in the first place was to plagiarize. I did feel guilt when I finally put my name on the paper, but the plagiarism was an entertaining experience and a challenge to our ability to write.
