Authors presented the Haley, Marita and Jamal in their article focusses on the plagiarism in their own way.
Haley was junior in the high school, Marita was a freshman student at UCLA while Jamal was a high school student. There is a similarity between these that they all plagiarized in their own way.Haley and Jamal could be defined same as they both plagiarized purposely. But in case of Marita, she does not know that she is plagiarizing. Jamal and Haley both belong to good background family but still they don't take the advantage of a good family. All these characters depend on the outside resouces for their work rather than independent.
In each step of Jamal's life he has to face challenges which he overcome with a good way according to him. He was a brilliant basketball player but he was average in the studies. He has to write an paper on the auhtor which he does not want to do so he decide to take the help of a famous author William Forrester for his writing. He also has to face the race difficulity which always makes him feel bad.He also has to write an apology letter to all teh students for teh plagiarozed work that he has done. As Jamal was just average in the studies so the school does not want him in the school. He is beng invited by the private school Mailor Callow due to his ability to play good basketball and some skills which needed for that school.
