Question: How does rising fame put one such as Benji Wilson at risk?
ReplyDeleteAnswer: This question makes me think about the life of famous people or people becoming famous because it shows the danger that they face just begin famous. You have people obsessed with them people who stalk them, people who threaten to kill them, and people that actually do kill them. This makes me realize that it's not fun and games begin famous that you actually to protect yourself or you have to hire others to protect you
These are great thoughts on the risks of fame. NIce job.
DeleteRising fame can put one such as Benji Wilson at risk because some people may become jealous and jealousy can lead many things, jealousy is something that is very dangerous and unpredictable and when someone is jealous you never know what they may do or what may happen. Also when you have rising fame your very valuable and if your very valuable some people may use that to their advantage and take advantage of you.
ReplyDeleteI really like your thoughts on the varied aspects of fame. I would recommend, however, that you check you grammar and try to move away from constructing such long, run-on sentences. Try removing the "and" connectors and reprhrase those segments as full sentences on their own. Good job.
DeleteThis film made me think about how much of an effect death can have on people because there were 10.000 mourning people at the funeral. I have been to MANY funerals and NOT in many of them have I seen 10000 people attending and weeping so much and even if you didnt have a close relationship with them.
ReplyDeleteto be honest, this just made me cry i love films like this & i would love to see more of these kinds of films
