The following anecdote would be more fun to read if the indirect statements were turned into direct quotations. Rewrite it using

direct quotations. Try to make the punch line as effective as possible.
The startled waiter looked hard at the customer who had just ordered one rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast for breakfast, and asked him why he wanted such a dish. The man replied that his wife was out of town and he missed her cooking.

One afternoon, an old man ordered in a nearby restaurant for breakfast.
He went inside, find a seat and sit comfortably. 

Then one smiling waiter approached him and asked: "What's your order for this morning, sir?" The old man replied, "Can I have one rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast, please?" 
The waiter with his two brown eyes glow with awe, answered, "One rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast? (with an emphasis on the word "rubbery and burnt") Was that correct sir?" "Yes, you just said it right", the man replied.
 
"Why on earth would you want such a dish?" asked the waiter.  
 "My wife was out of town and I missed her cooking." replied the old man. 
"Oh! I see". the waiter answered with a smirk and walk back scratching his head.

What is your opinion about copying a report from the internet? Do you think that it's wrong?
neonofarm [45]

<u>What is your opinion about copying a report from the internet? </u>

Copying a report from the internet in many parts of the country is considered plagerism. However, is it really wrong? In my personal opinion it isn‘t wrong to copy a report from the internet as long as you obtain the permission from the person who wrote it. For example: In Brainly you can either ask for help or people can do the work for you. It’s up to you to decide what you want to do. Also, people are sometimes busy and don’t have enough time to write their own essays so having someone else make their essays is less time consuming and efficient. According to Inside Higher ED, it states: “When a person borrows an idea, no harm is done to the party from whom it was taken.”  The Harbus states that plagerism is discriminatory stating: “If you believe that plagiarism is “unethical,” you are basically endorsing discrimination against people who lack original ideas. Is that the kind of society we want? Is this the message we want to send?” Also, “Artists, musicians and writers etc have always copied each other.“ as stated by Jim Hamlyn.

<u>Do you think that it's wrong?</u>

No, I personally don’t think it’s wrong because many people don‘t have the time to write an essay or report. Also, as long as the person who you are taking the ideas from are ok with the idea of you taking their work then you have no problem in adding their voice, ideas and opinions into your own work.
