Porter

Per-Reading

I usually use any resource available with my writing.  I will admit that grammatically I am not the strongest.  Furthermore, the only way possible is to have my writing scanned over multiple times from an array of different people.  I also ask for opinions on my arguments, and how I present them.
With my thesis, I am always open to changes.

4) Porter's argument on the writings acceptability in a community is spot on.  For example,  in the academic community, I believe it is acceptable to have almost any subject matter.  This is due to the academic standard of writing I've come to learn.  That is, if you can back up your claims with facts and a well made argument, then the writing should be accepted by the (academic) community.


5) Porter seems to have contradicted himself a bit with the intertextuality.  He uses some facts in his article that is consistent with not creating originality.  But reading his article through, he proposes these ideals in a way that I haven't read.

2) With Porter's argument of plagiarism,  he talks about how the struggle of intertextually could lead to plagiarism itself.  Not only not citing someone's work, but not making an effort to create original text is also plagiarism.

I have never really thought of writers being more or less alone in their writing process.  I have always thought it depends on the context and an argument or information you are passing along to an audience.  Different people have different knowledge on specific subjects.  Using those resources are within the limits of plagiarism, however you still have to make an effort to structure your writing in a new and original way.
