Fame Monster
Today we were talking so much about monsters that I got the song Fame Monster by Lady Gaga stuck in my head. I began realizing how many celebratities suffer like Victor did. Pushed to succeed and consumed by fame they begin losing touch with other important parts of the world. Fame is a monster. Look what it did to Princess Di and Heath Ledger. The fame of these individuals was brought on by themselves and became destructive. I think we all can create something that destroys easier than we realize.

I agree. I think it's easy for us to get wrapped in succeeding that we fail to realize the destruction that we create.
ReplyDeleteI think that people are too concerned with worldly matters and they lose what is truely important and their grasp on reality like Victor did.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good point Maddie. I like how we can always seem to relate things going on in modern society se easily to things going on in society back then.
ReplyDeleteso* easily to things that went on in society back then*
