“Fareed Zakaria Suspended For Plagiarism Time Editor,

CNN Host Apologizes For “Terrible Mistakes.”

Critical Connection Essay: My Plagiarism

I committed plagiarism when I was going through grade school.

Always when stuck with difficulty on my essays, I would have taken

material from the Internet and modified it to get good grades. Never once

was I caught, but till today I regret it. The feeling of regret is because even

though I cheated, I mostly cheated myself. However, Fareed Zakeria was

already an established writer and in his case of wile, I wonder if he feels

somewhat the same.

Zakeria like me would have certainly never revealed his crime against

writing. As he got caught, meanwhile, I’m sure he felt some sort of guilt.

And with guilt came punishment. He confessed and didn’t deny any part of

the accusations which is surprising considering most people try to place a

little innocence of themselves in their confession statements.

Jill Lepore’s article stating about gun control and regulations in

different states should not have been plagiarized. Zakeria was gambling on

his reputation as a well-known writer for CNN and Time. His suspension

along with his confession should be enough humiliation. The fact that he

confessed without any denial gives me reason to believe that he feels maybe

not exactly like me but close enough.

    Storytelling is a sacred past time for my family; my ancestors engaged in storytelling to preserve, and pass along family history from one generation to the next. However, my love for telling stories is evolving from the tradition to inspirational entertainment. In fact, television writers, Shonda Rhimes and Dan Fogelman are inspirations for my desire to obey God’s calling on my life. Both authors, Shonda Rhimes and Don Fogelman, are writing compelling scripts and television screenplays that constantly tap human emotions, arrest viewers’ attention, while creating a loyal following of viewership.…

    Sherman Alexie Save Lives

    • 2253 Words
    • 10 Pages

    Alexie states “The words still filled up the page, but I had lost the ability to tell the good from the bad. (Some might argue I never possessed that ability!) More importantly, I'd lost the courage to ignore the opinions of others. I'd lost confidence in my individual voice and vision. This was true of my poems, stories, essays, novels, and screenplays” (Alexie). For a writer of any kind to lose their confidence in themselves and in their writing is never a good thing. Change can be hard even for the most experienced writers. “So, why all the drama? My problems began with my work in the movie business. It's a sad old story. Too many novelists and playwrights have gone to Hollywood and tried to strike it rich, only to be met with crushing disappointment” (Alexie). The fear of failure, especially on a large scale like becoming a screenwriter, can always hold someone back from trying to achieve their goals. “So why am I bitter? Well, I'm bitter because screenplays are written by committee. To be sure, filmmaking is a collaborative art form (don't let any megalomaniac director or French film critic or Francophile American film critic tell you different), but the writing itself should never be collaborative. At least, that's my opinion. Or at the very least, it's how I work and cannot work with others” (Alexie). Having a writer change their way of doing things to fit…

    The world is full of writers of all kinds: novelists, biographers, copy writers, and even bloggers. Every so often, one of those writers will rise above the rest and become a great author—but what exactly does that take? Many qualities have to come together in one person to make his or her writing great, so having the idea for a story alone is not enough; great writers also have to possess talent and originality as well as the dedication required to see a story through to the end.…
