Scenario 4A

Setting: Your apartment.

You and Charlotte are working on your essays.

Charlotte says, “I’m having such a hard time with this essay! Do you mind if I just take a look at yours?”

You respond, “Yeah, of course. I’m going to the gym anyways."

You leave the apartment.

Charlotte says, “This is hopeless. I might as well copy this essay, change a few things, and make it my own. I just want to get this assignment over with and submit it tonight!”


Why might Charlotte make this choice?
