He had a wife that he spent hardly any time with because of how often he worked on this project. It was unfair to his wife and if he died he would have lived "a wasted life". "Contents of the dead man's pockets, he thought with sudden fierce anger, a wasted life."

He had wanted the paper so badly, he thought he needed that paper, now all he wants is to make it back to his window and crawl into his apartment alive and safe.

He described how he saw himself externally. Panic will make time seem to slow down.

They are creating suspense as it is far below him and he could easily fall at any minute and die. "...he saw, between his legs and far below, Lexington Avenue stretched out for miles ahead."

And every fifth row of brick in the face of the building, he remembered--leaning out, he verified this--was indented half an inch, enough for the tips of his fingers, enough to maintain balance easily." He was eager to get that paper because it had all of his research and evidence on it, though he could hurt himself he said he had to get it, it could get him up to the top of the company.

But the paper was past his reach and, leaning out into the night" in paragraph 18 because it shows how important that paper is as he tried so frantically to catch it.

A second way to avoid plagiarism is Referencing, also could be known as a Works Cited Page, it is an organized page that contains all of your cites that you made throughout your work.

I believe that a lot of people use this form of plagiarism and sometimes won't even realize it. This is also a reason why it is so serious, someone put a lot of work into that and you took it and changed it a little bit to try to pass it as your own but you tried to make it less obvious than just taking the original writing. You would be stealing and lying about the work. Tue, 30 Aug 2016 13:22:33 -0400
