How We Judge People by Richard BachTEXT / TASKS / HOW-PART v2Task 3.2. What would you answer? Well, huh, Im not sure youve read my text, you know; and if you did, you definitely misunderstood something. But I can answer your question as I understand it, cause I think we have a problem with you here. Yes, theres definitely more than just the reflection of my dislike to public media. My text is about the images. The images we create and others are creating about us. Its the view of the other side of glass, well, cause we cant deny that famous people, celebrities are the most often captured, idolized people. Im a famous guy, I can tell how depressing it is, you know, and either way can Mary and Leslie. And of course mostly the media people are making those pictures. Unfortunately, its the way how they are making money, and we cant blame them. They need your attention, your interest, they need to control you; and we, famous people, are the best way to do it. For those yellow journalists we are just another tool for manipulation and they dont care anymore, if some of the images are broken, some other star is exposed, since we have a good-working factory of celebrity-makers. And if you ask me, whats my opinion about the public media, the answer probably would be I hate em . But the world needs them, to be sure that it, the world itself, is still working. Specific comments: (Im a famous guy, I can tell how depressing it is, you know) is meant as a joke. Hes showing that hes a trustable guy in this field (I think this sentence is somewhere between a joke and a sarcasm, lets say, the ugly truth, cause he has to admit that he is a famous image) (we) sarcastic emphasis on this word |
