We watched phantom of the opera last November 25 and December 2,2015.when we first watch this movie I don't have any idea about this movie honestly this is my first time to watch musical movie at first I felt bored because I don't know what to expect or what happening in the end but the movie goes on and try to focus and watch.when characters start singing especially Christine and phantom i said to myself wowww what an angelic voice they start singing and I am really amazed of this they have really,really nice voice when phantom start singing I fell in love to his voice and I am curious about this movie.

The story of phantom of the opera it about phantom"opera ghost" who falling in love to Christine "the operas breakout new soprano"Christine is kidnapped by phantom and is taken to his home where to reveal his true identity,he plan to keep Christine for few days hoping she will come to in love him.Christine unmask Phantom and reveal his identity and to horror of both ,behold,his noiseless,lip less sunken eyed face. Christine request to release after two weeks phantom agree on condition that she wear his ring and be faithful to him. after the following night phantom force Christine to marry him and Raoul attempt to rescue Christine and Raoul trapped in a hot torture chamber.Raoul is a childhood friend and love interest of Christine
Christine beg and offer to be his "living bride"promising not to kill herself after becoming his bride.Phantom eventually rescues Raoul from his torture champers,when phantom alone with Christine he lifts his mask to kiss her on her forehead and is given a kiss back to phantom and he reveal that he has never received a kiss before.phantom allowed to escape Raoul and Christine and return the gold ring he gave her
This movie was really interesting for me because phantom he let go Christine despite of his love her.and the characters are really have nice voice especially Christine and phantom they are blessed to have kind of voice               


No.13 Plagiasm

How to Recognize Plagiarism

Word-for-word

Word-for-word plagiarism is committed when a writer takes a sequence of 7 or more words from another source, but fails to identify the quoted passage, fails to provide the full in-text citation crediting the author(s), and fails to provide the bibliographic reference.
Read the example carefully

Constructivists do not hold views entirely opposed to those of the cognitivists. The position of constructivists "... extends beyond the beliefs of the cognitivist" (Heinich, Molenda, Russell, & Smaldino, 1999, p. 17).

Explanation: This version is word-for-word plagiarism. The student included a portion of the original author's work in a sentence without using quotation marks.No citation points to author or to thereference provided. No credit was given to the original author in the text of the paper, and quotation marks were not used. So a reader does not know these are someone else's words, nor the source where these words can be found--especially if there is more than one reference in the bibliograpphy.
Explanation: Quotation marks are used to indicate that this passage is a word-for-word quote from the original document. Here thefull in-text citation follows the quote and includes the locator. Of course, the full reference is also provided. A reader can find exactly where the words came from. Just find the book in the biblography that is referred to, and look on page 17.
We are using APA style here. References are provided at the end of a paper in APA style
In other styles, the bibliographic reference might be put in a footnote on the page where the citation occurs. In any case, the reference should provide sufficient information for a reader to find the original source, e.g., in a library.
Original Source Material: Constructivism is a movement that extends beyond the beliefs of the cognitivist. It considers the engagement of students in meaningful experiences as the essence of learning. The shift is from passive transfer of information to active problem solving. Constructivists emphasize that learners create their own
interpretations of the world of information.

Plagarism, the act of taking credit for somebody else's work or intellectual property. We are all very familiar with it, but at some point of our lives we are guilty of commiting it whether consciously or unconsciously.
The most common people to be guilty with plagarism are the students, probably because for the simple reason that they have a gigantic work load and they are subjected to time pressure and mental drain, so the seemingly natural thing to do is to resort to plagarism. But what they fail to realize is that they are not just fooling their teachers or peers, but more than that they are doing a great diservice to themselves because they are depriving themselves to grow as a thinking human being.

It's not just the students who are guilty of plagarism, anyone could sometimes commit it without meaning to. 
There is nothing wrong with using reference books and journal or other sources of information as long as you cite them. Sometimes we read something from a book or a journal perhaps and then when we write a paper related to it we tend to paraphrase the idea but we then fail to cite the source. Another thing is we sometimes tend to overlook citations. Sometimes when we already mentioned the source in the references we tend to think that there is no more need for a citation or vice versa, but that is not the case. We must keep in mind that every citation should be present in the references and every reference should have a corresponding citation.
The best thing to do to avoid plagarism is to make sure to give credit where cridet is do, be honest with ourselves, and be careful in citing and writing references. If we are able to do this then we are actually transforming ourselves into a responsible and reliable writer and researcher.
