Final Writing Assignment

I thought that the movie "Shattered Glass" was both pretty interesting and suprising. Some things that made it interesting were that there were a lot of people looking at the articles to varify all the information even after it got published, and it also mentioned at one point the process on how something becomes an article and all the grammer changes and all the information confirmation it had to go through, and yet in the movie, Stephen Glass manages to publish out many fictional articles before he began to get cracked down on his last and biggest article, Hack Heaven. I was honestly suprised on how Stephen didn't get caught in his first fictional article going through that rigorous process of seeing all those editors confirming every piece of information. One thing that still stays on my mind is why he started making those fictional artices in the first place; maybe he wanted to get reconized at his young age, but it almost seems like people would more care about the article or what magazine or newspaper it's in rather than its author. Overall, it was a nice movie, nothing that intense or anything, but interesting and it made you wonder throughout it if Stephen's article Hack Heaven was real or not.
