MARCH 11, 2016 | 4SKILLSACADEMIC | 19 COMMENTSOriginality is very important when you are doing innovative and creative work. However, everynew idea we produced might be inspired from somewhere. So, the question is that, “doesoriginality really exist in this world?” What do you think?

Notes on Cheat! by Allan Baillie

Author: Allan Baillie

Se猀ing: The story took place in various places of an Australian school (e.g. hall, library, classroomcorridor, principal’s office). It set in the modern and educated social background where peoplewere appreciate talent in writing.

(p.102) “…how do you create a character from a one‑eyed, dumb red kelpie

(h猀ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Kelpie)……”

From the word “kelpie”, which is a type of Australian breed dog, we made a guess that the storytook place in Australia.

Step by step guide in understanding the story

Announcement winner for the Holmes – Walkins Medal

“Lynne opened her eyes and gripped her seat……”

1. How was Lynne Webbings feel while she was waiting for the result?

“Geoff Bolder and Lynne Webbings both wrote very fine short stories for the medal…… Lynne felt hermouth moving…… Lynne’s story about a sheepdog in a flood was both exciting and moving…. Geoff’sstory of a circus elephant running loose in Albert Park……”

2. What is Lynne’s story about? And what is Geoff’s story about?

“She made her way to Geoff as he came down from the dais with the medal and congratulated him. Shewent home and everything tasted of cardboard that night……”

3. Who won the medal?4. How did Lynne feel after the result has announced?

Lynne’s discovery

“She read it again. And again. The tips of her ears prickled with anger…… He did not write it at all, he just copied it down.”

1. Why did Lynne feel angry?

“Please sir, Geoff beat me in the short story competition and I hate to lose. So I am telling you how hecheated so you can give the medal to me……”

2. What was Lynne thinking to do?

Lynne’s explosion of anger

“ ‘or Bradburie.’ The words exploded from Lynne’s mouth in a sudden burst of anger.”

1. Why did Lynne suddenly shout “Bradburie” in the class?

“Later Lynne saw that all the Bradburie books had been taken from the school library……”

2. What happens to the Bradburie’s book in the library?3. Who has taken the book?4. Why was the book taken?

In the principal office

“…… I read the book. There’s a story there about an elephant escaping in a park. It is not much likeGeoff’s story, but Geoff feels he took the idea from the book without realising it. He wants me todisqualify him for cheating”

What do you think? A story of similar idea but a different story, is it consider cheating?

“… your story, Lynne, being entirely original, must be considered a li猀le be猀er……”

So, is Lynne considered as the winner of the medal now?

“She began to wonder where it was that she had read a story about a sheepdog in a flood.”

Why is she doing that?

APRIL 20, 2016 AT 8:14 PMLynne was waiting for the Holmes‑Walkin short story competition result. Before that,Lynne spent a great amount of time writing on her short story which was about a sheepdoin a flood. Unfortunately, the result announced, Geoff’s story about an elephant ran wild ithe park was the winner. Lynne felt disappointed and sad.One day, Lynne found a book by William Bradburie in the library. The story was similar toGeoff’s story. She accused that Geoff was cheating by copy the story. Then Geoff took the

book to Mr. Velos, the school principal and asked Mr. Velos to disqualify him. Mr Velosfound that the short story was almost similar, but Geoff story was still considered original

After a while, Lynne was asked into the principal room. Mr Velos explained to her thatGeoff’s story was still considered original and he was not cheating. At the same time, MrVelos announced that Lynne was the new winner, because her story was entirely original.However, Lynne did not feel happy about the result and she was worried that she mighthave read a similar story about the sheepdog in a flood.

5. xxx says:APRIL 19, 2016 AT 9:28 PMWhy did Lynne thinks that she read the sheepdog in a flood before ? Is it because that takingthe idea from the original story isnt consider as cheating or what ?
