Plagerism

Plagiarism is defined as "an act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that author's work as ones own." To be completely honest I have probably plagiarized a few times unintentionally. I know that it is an issue that needs to be taken more seriously, even by myself. Also, I probably need to learn to cite my sources more accurately to make sure that I am in no way plagiarizing. Cheating is something that I feel is wrong and goes against my morals. Whether it is in a relationship or on a test at school. You have to be able to do your own work because no one can do it for you 100% of the time.

Big blogging on B L O G's

This is the first time I will be posting my writings publically. I have always been reluctant when it comes to people seeing what I post or reading what I have written .I am not really even a big fan of Facebook, I have only ever really posted pictures or messaged people. So, I am completely being taken out of my element with this blog but I will learn to be okay with it. I found chapters one and two to be informative and helpful. Especially with the thesis statements! I still struggle with my writing and still make many mistakes. During the semester I will definitely be looking back at these chapters to help me develop into a better writer.
