Correct the problems in the following paragraph. The atmosphere in both Long Days Journey into Night and Waiting for Godot help readers to anticipate the endings to these stories. Such as when Mary's drug addict reveals, when Estragon and Vladimir have no choices except staying together, and how readers realize that none of characters have memories of the past in Waiting for Godot. In Long Days Journey into Night,when the whole family finds out about Mary's drug addict, the atmosphere downs, from this point, everyone become disappointed and depressed. Basically they feel bummed out, and the mood keeps down until the play ends. When readers realize that no characters in Waiting for Godot can memorize anything, the play seems just repeating the same things over and over. This brings the mood and everyone's feeling down, because they cannot see much hope in the play. Also in Waiting for Godot, when Estragon and Vladimir realize that they do not want to be together, but they have to because they have no other choices, Estragon and Vladimir seems depressed and disappointed about the fact which they do not want. For these reasons, it is clear that readers could get clues and points to the sad endings in both plays.

Barney's Version Excerpt
|
A garage in Montparnasse served as Leo's atelier, and there he laboured on his huge triptychs, mixing his paints in buckets and applying them with a kitchen mop. On occasion he would swish his mops around, stand back ten feet, and let fly. Once, when I was there, the two of us sharing a [smoke], he thrust his mop at me. "Have a go," he said. "Really?" "Why not?" Soon enough, I figured, Leo would get a shave and a haircut and join an advertising agency in New York. I was dead wrong. Go know that forty years later Leo's atrocities would be hanging in the Tate, the Guggenheim, MOMA, and the The National Gallery in Washington, and that others would be sold for millions to junk-bond mavens and arbitrage gurus who were often outbid by Japanese collectors. |

Review these two case studies. Then participate in a threaded discussion of the issues with your teacher and be prepared to suggest advice you would give these fictitious students. After your discussion, go to the third case, which is your assignment.
Case One:
|
Donald has been conducting research on the history of highland bagpiping in Canada. He has read articles from the Internet and from various texts in local libraries. As well, he has talked to his father who is very interested in the topic. In his essay, he inadvertently included a significant passage from an Internet source, but although he has written down the words, he cannot remember if it was a quotation or his own idea. In a random search, his teacher has found the significant passage and accused Donald of plagiarism. Why do you think this situation occurred? How might this situation have been avoided? What techniques would you advise Donald to try when he conducts research for his next essay? |
Case Two:
|
Ian is writing his essay on the night before it is due! He has written down some quotations from secondary sources, but he does not have any citations to go with them. These quotations are from books, not the Internet and the library closed two hours ago. What mistakes has Ian made in this case? What are his choices if he wants to submit this essay on time? Most importantly, what strategies could you suggest to Ian to avoid this situation on his next essay? |
