This article, "Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in Digital Age", written by Trip Gabriel (2010) explores how students are unfamiliar with how the rules of plagiarism work on with Internet resources and that how nothing is ever original anymore. Gabriel discusses how students have little idea of what belongs to who online, as well as how students are not prepared well enough for college writing and therefore are more tempted to plagiarize in this digital age. This article's purpose is to emphasize the importance of respecting original authors so that their work gets due credit, and also to highlight the lack of education about plagiarism in college students of America. When examining the way this article was constructed, the article seems to appease audiences who want to read quickly and learn as much as they can; using short paragraphs this author gets his point across effectively so that students, teachers, and daily readers alike can understand the plagiarism problems arising within the universities of the United States
