=__**Story Stealing**__= One construct of writing is plagiarism. This is used as a writing construct because of the way that people use the threat of plagiarism to avoid overlapping on something that has already been written. The worry writers have about copying other authors is this worry of plagiarism. In the professional world and the world of education at any level plagiarism is unacceptable. Due to it be looked down upon and judged so harshly it makes the framework for writing very clear. This is where a lot of the idea "Para phrasing" comes from. Which is just summarizing and switching things around to avoid copying the exact thing stated by a previous author. There are many websites that teachers use to enter in students essays and other pieces of writing to filter out the students that use to much plagiarism. Plagiarism and avoiding it plays such a large part in how people construct their texts and the things that people choose to write about. "Building new texts out of existing ones" is a way to think of the framework for writing relating to plagiarism.

Plagiarism can be a death sentence to a college student. A writer must avoid it because it is considered cheating and it is illegal.In Michael Kleine's article " What Is It We Do When We Write Articles Like This One- How Can We Get Students to Join Us?" he mentions how in high school students tend not to care as much about plagiarism because if they get caught there are not going to get expelled from high school. As in college if you get caught you get expelled. If a student is caught plagiarising they can lose the privilege of attending college. Students must learn how to paraphrase or put things in the own words with out degrading the meaning of a piece of literature. It is a very important concept for students to grasp in order to improve their writing abilities. When there seems to be nothing left to talk about when students are writing, they often plagiarize. Many students use "textual borrowing" as a back-up plan when writing about a reading. To help avoid plagiarism students should use citations to credit the author. Citations can be a hard concept to understand, so it is important for a student's instructor to teach the correct form of usage. Without this knowledge a student can become lost in college when asked to write a lengthy research paper. It is very important that the construct of plagiarism is taught early in the college years in order for a college student to be successful.

Plagiarism is another writing construct. Plagiarism is said to be wrongful and representing someone else's work. It can also be called stealing the text or an idea.The difficulty with the idea or action of plagiarism that the originality of the work can be hard to change the work without missing the idea. If the writer is caught plagiarizing then it can come with some serious consequences. That can be getting a zero on their work or there right being in college. Although it is known in schools that students plagiarized it can also happen at a work place. Plagiarism can be an ethnical violation. An alternative to plagiarism could be paraphrasing just meaning to summarize or switch the word but still maintain the same ideas of the writing but making it as your work and in your own words. A easy way for a writer to think about paraphrasing is that he/she needs to read the text that he/she like to discuss and try to put it in their own words like if they would say it aloud to a group. Doing this you would have to analyze the text. Students have to find some type of other strategy of writing when doing an important paper like an research paper so they will not be convicted of plagiarism.
