Suddenly I began to hear the whispers--she copied from her friend. She did not do her own work. Her picture of a cat should not be hanging in the hallway. She should not have won first place for her grade. She copied, she cheated, it was not her own work. She did not deserve the pizza coupon that she won.
I talked to her friend--did she copy her picture? Did she allow her to copy her drawing of a cat? It turned out that at first she had, but then she told her to stop, that the two pieces of art were too similar. Did the second girl who won the pizza coupon plagiarize?
