1.Fame is very much like an animal chasing its own tail who, when he captures it, does not know what else to do but to continue chasing it. Fame and the exhilarating popularity that accompanies it, force the famous person to participate in his or her own destruction. Ironic isn\'t it?
Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of possessing a single talent or skill: singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc. The successful performer develops a style that is marketed aggressively and gains some popularity, and it is this popularity that usually convinces the performer to continue performing in the same style, since that is what the public seems to want and to enjoy. But in time, the performer becomes bored singing the same songs in the same way year after year, or the painter becomes bored painting similar scenes or portraits, or the actor is tired of playing the same character repeatedly. The demand of the public holds the artist hostage to his or her own success, fame. If the artist attempts to change his or her style of writing or dancing or singing, etc., the audience may turn away and look to confer fleeting fickle fame on another and then, in time, on another, and so on and so on.
Who cannot recognize a Tennessee Williams play or a novel by John Updike or Ernest Hemingway or a poem by Robert Frost or W. H. Auden or T. S. Eliot? The same is true of painters like Monet, Renoir, Dali or Picasso and it is true of movie makers like Hitchcock, Fellini, Spielberg, Chen Kai-ge or Zhang Yimou. Their distinctive styles marked a significant change in the traditional forms and granted them fame and forturn, but they were not free to develop other styles or forms because their audience demanded of each of them what they originally presented. The unique forms each of them created, created them. No artist or performer can entirely escape the lure of fame and its promise of endless admiration and respect, but there is a heavy price one must pay for it.
2.A cutton bag has been a means for brand, retailer, and supermarket to express their environment-friendly concept, at least to show their company has noticed the overuse of plastics. 某所機構的某人說到, there\\\'s a trend in New York that people are taking the tote from local deli a or their favorite store.看起來好像是在保護環境. Not exactly,....
A 2018 study from the Minister of Environment and Food in Denmark shows that a cutton tote should be used 2000 times to offset the 對環境所造成的影響. It takes 34 years daily for one bag. If a bag 被回收了, then the subatance to print the log on them is PCV-based and unrecyclabe. 某人, the co-founder of Seattle-based textile recycle firm公司名, says they are \\\'extremly difficult to break down\\\'. Logos need to be cut form the bag. He estimates the 10-15 percent of the cutton the firm receives is wasted in that way.
