Summary and Analysis

This drama’s story is about high school students. They have several problems in the school. They solved their problems. I saw two episodes. First one was about PSAT. Dawson got copy of PSAT before the PSAT. He showed copy of PAST to his friends. They discussed about copy of PAST how to deal with. Dawson accidently lost copy of PSAT. He couldn’t find copy of PAST out. They started to suspect each of them. In the end he suspected his best friend. He dropped by his friend. He fought with his friend. In the end they gave PSAT up. The other episode, Joey drew a picture on the wall in the school. However someone messed it up. So her friend, Pacey tried to find someone who messed it up. At last he found the suspect. However the suspect thought that I was not guilty. So the teacher kicked him out the school. On the other hand, Andie told her brother that she cheated her PSAT. She felt guilty conscience. At last she told professor about everything she did. But professor forgave her.


Relation to Case study.

Igor Zakarov in Chapter 9, he was an international student from Russia. He wanted to get good score from his report. However, he didn’t study hard. He didn’t have enough time. While he was think his report over, his friend suggested what he buy another people’s idea. In the end he bought another people’s report. He gave it in to his professor. The professor realized that his report is not his idea; he copied another people’s idea. The professor called him to his office. And the professor asked him that what he tell true. But he lied, so the professor asked him what he writes his report down again. He couldn’t do that. At last he told the professor everything. The Drama and Chapter 9 relate to plagiarism. Igor and they in the Drama want good score for their life. But it is guilt. It is stolen action. They should study hard, if they want to get good score. Two situation show us that plagiarism is bad and guilt.


Reaction to film

We discussed about plagiarism in our life. We download movie and music. I think that it is very bad. But we don’t feel guilt, because almost people do that. So I thought I will not do that, almost people do that though.
