I wasnāt able to read āPlagiarism: A Lie of the Mindā but I was able to read āThe Plagiaristās Talesā by Lizzi Widdicombe. Ā This article was very interesting, all the various aspects of the situation of the author. It was like reading a soap opera somewhat as he compared his addiction to plagiarism to someoneās addictions to drugs. One thing that stood out to me was how Widdicombe explained the importance of originality in literature.Ā āAs writers from T. S. Eliot to Harold Bloom have pointed out, ideas are doomed to be rehashed,ā stated Widdicombe in the 9th paragraph of the article. I have always thought about this when the topic of plagiarism came up in classes or regular conversation. People are bound to think the same way, recreating the same ideas; itās inevitable as new generations walk this earth. I understand what Rowan did was completely unacceptable though and Iām happy that he is writing his own book in his own words.
