I can’t stop thinking about what David Shields is thinking
1-) What confuses you about this essay?
This essay is confusing since one cannot tell whether it is in
support of plagiarism or not. The author believes that there are
no original ideas and thoughts since according to Shields (2013)
artists, innovators and authors have over the years slightly
shifted what others have made or invented in the past. [One way
to approach this, if not necessarily solve it, is to puzzle through
Shield’s argument, and the Colbert Report appearance can help
here too. Is he arguing that we should all be plagiarists? Well,
sort of, but he seems to be more interested in how we perceive
copyright and fair use, and for that matter how we understand
originality. So perhaps this is an article more about originality
than it is about theft…]
What frustrates you?
What frustrated me in this essay is the fact that David Shields
does believes that there are no innovative people in the world
this is including artists, authors and innovators. Shields’s
critiques on the past great work by renowned people such as

4. great singers, great artists and authors despite their efforts.
[Again, it’s helpful to think through the complexities and
contradictions here (and to consider which are productive and
which are just confusing).]
What fascinates you?
What fascinated me about this article is the fact that David
Shields took time to research and discover the close relations
between the different ideas and innovations that have been made
over the years since the 12th century. I was fascinated by the
development in innovations and inventions that have emerged
over the years and the fact that they all have certain similarities
though not easy to notice. [what your answers to these three
questions suggest is that you are interested but puzzled by his
argument—that’s a great place to start an essay]
2-) Represent the entire essay.
“I Can’t Stop Thinking through What Other People Are
Thinking” by David Shields is an article that interested in
ensuring that it shuns copyrighting, plagiarism and the lies that
come from artists and authors. David Shields is trying to show
that the innovations, the books we have read, the songs we
listen to and the artwork that people admire have for a long time
been ideas and thoughts that were borrowed from the past years
[yes]. No matter how much people try to claim to be the original
innovators they are not originally the main innovators but
people that lived before them are the ones that deserve to own
the ideas (Shields 2013). [why not rely on some of his great
examples, or introduce new ones of your own?] There are
people that come up with new ideas and thoughts but mostly
they are normally motivated by ideas and thoughts that they
have come across. Example book authors have ideas that are
closely related through they claim to be the real owners of their
work, they even go to lengths of claiming to have been involved
in the scenarios they present in their work to prove the
originality of their work.
The task is left to people to discern between people that are
lying and those that are true about their originality in their work

5. [very interesting]. The articles gives examples of famous
authors, songwriters, singers and artists in the past whose works
are admired and have copyrights to protect them from being
plagiarized or copied illegally but the fact is that they too got
the ideas from ancient innovators who were not recognized nor
appreciated. The article thus tells us that through keen and
thorough research it is possible to discover the relation between
artwork, books and publication, songs and inventions since they
all contain a similar aspect though partly in one way or another.
3-)
In “I Can’t Stop Thinking Through What Other People Are
Thinking”, Shields explains how Bob Dylan lied about his past
life. First person that came to my mind while I was reading this
paragraph was Antone Broyard and how he kept his black
identity as a secret and also sometimes lied about his past.
These two men are successful and well known by the public.
Bob Dylan is a great singer and writer, but he made up stories
about his past because he found his real past lacking
authenticity. In the other hand, a great writer, Antone Broyard,
kept his “colored” identity and roots hidden, even lied about it
to the press even his own children because he wanted to be more
successful.
Shields’s position is unexpected: it’s a celebration of (and a
deliberately provocative one) of practices that many writers,
teachers, and public thinkers criticize: borrowing others’ work
without attribution. I think an important question that you
haven’t yet touch on is: Is Shields more interested in plagiarism
or originality?
