Free Online Paper Mills, (2010) written by Michelle Vu
Vu reveals two very commonly used paper mills, which have used their websites to entice students to take the easy way out, just at the click of a button. Vu definitely tries to sway students from being pulled into websites, such as E cheat and Custom Writings.com, with their seemingly flawless essay.
Overall Vu emphasized, these websites are more than less hypocritical and actually quite contradictory. Free, Free, Free, what a promising sales pitch for last minute writers. Vu’s purpose was to demonstrate the easy 1,2,3 steps of finding what seems to be the right words and just what you were thinking of already written . E cheat proclaims no plagiarism yet the name of the site is “e cheat”. Where as, Customized Writings takes the business approach by offering professionalism and guarantees (Vu 139). The entire purpose of these websites is to ensure students, such as myself, that it is not necessary to stay up all night stressing, Just search, click and in a matter of minutes we have the perfect paper.
How perfect is it,”100% plagiarism free” and interestingly so reading the fine print always discloses the information we don’t want to accept. As students, we should not be amongst the 90% procrastinator and 30% panic and face our responsibilities head on. As writers, we should strive for excellence without “risking academic integrity” (Vu 139) with a click of a mouse.
I think that the Bloggers on this post explained Vu's article very well. They were able to explained the author's feeling towards the websites quite well. I also tought they did a great job with the visual pictures.

ReplyDeleteGreat rhetorical reading precis that exposes Vu's opinion of plagiarism. The cartoon captions further strengthens the article. I think plagiarism is so unfair to all. The cheater gets a good grade and the honest student may barely get a passing grade even though he or she works hard and tries their best.

The color bloggers did very well in explaining Vu's article. I like how they put their own feelings about the subject in the blog. I enjoyed the cartoons that was used. They also cited professional.
