  4. Bernie the Alligator I’m a plagiarist! Bernie the alligator downloaded part of his paper off the Internet last night. He knows he’s a plagiarist. This can be a tempting last resort, but the consequences aren’t worth it. If you’re tempted to plagiarize because your assignment is too hard, talk to your teacher or the Writing Lab for help.

  5. Harry the Panda Harry the Panda doesn’t know he’s a plagiarist, but he accidentally plagiarized part of his paper. He didn’t realize that he had paraphrased wrong. But unfortunately, Harry will still have to face the consequences (and he probably won’t get to play as much Ping Pong). I’m not a plagiarist. The Original Passage: “Panda bearsareindigenous tothe Far East, and are a favoritein Western zoos.”—from Frank Zappa, Page 398. Harry’s Paraphrase: Pandasarenative toplaces like China, and are lovedin American zoos (Zappa 398). Harry used his own words, but the same sentence structure. See it? Back to Seema’s Web Page

  6. Too bad Hedwig didn’t double-check the quotations he used in his paper. He doesn’t know he’s a plagiarist, but he’s about to get a rude awakening. (Get it—awakening? And he’s an owl?)

Hedwig’s quote: According to Pop, “The owl is a noctrunal animal who secretly loves jumping rope” (54). Back to Seema’s Web Page
