So if you've reproduced the exact words we will give you SOME credit (but not much) for having a photographic memory. If you've anticipated the idea we will say to ourselves, 'Wow! this 19 year old has managed to produce an argument that Cleanth Brooks had to grow a beard to come up with. Yippee! I shall cultivate this youngster.'Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12850856107580360138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14188372.post-1154964374009060152006-08-07T20:56:00.000+05:302006-08-07T20:56:00.000+05:30Red Blood Captain: what if we present an opinion, ...Red Blood Captain: what if we present an opinion, which we thought was ours, but you people having greater knowledge than us, see simmilarities between our opinion and that of some critic, and (wrongly) accuse us of plagiarisation?<BR/><BR/>For instance if I wrote in an answer that Keats' poems are full of paradoxes and it turns out Cleanth Brooks thought so as well, and I just didn't know it, what then??Elendilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358056466348715555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14188372.post-1150382330477736372006-06-15T20:08:00.000+05:302006-06-15T20:08:00.000+05:30Aye aye captain!

If you can, tell us WHY you agree with him. But DON'T present Mr X's ideas as your own, because that's plain dumb.<BR/>(quote)So I mention his name in my answer to point out that I am aware that my train of thought isn't original but it is what I think as well.(unquote)<BR/>Exactly. That's what you do. Then you go on to tell us why you think Mr X is on the money.

I don't want to know what he thinks about it, I want to know what you think about it.<BR/><BR/>It is possible that whatever I feel about a particular text has already been said before by X. So I mention his name in my answer to point out that I am aware that my train of thought isn't original but it is what I think as well. Will you penalise me for it by gving me less marks than what you would have given me had I not mentioned "As Mr. X said" and just gone on to present that point of view as entirely original.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14188372.post-1150206281322956952006-06-13T19:14:00.000+05:302006-06-13T19:14:00.000+05:30That surely cleared up the contextualization, but ...That surely cleared up the contextualization, but (you see...) pessimist that I am, can never conform to the ideal.
