Now, we will look at the screen together.You should divide the text into 3 parts according to this outline: general statement, specific argumentation, conclusion.Are you OK? Some one can answer me? How do you divide the text? Please, you.(students)Very good!Correct.The general statement is para1.The specific argumentation is para 2-8.The conclusion is the last para, right?

3.play PPT P.3.Ok.PartⅠis general statement.First, let’s answer some questions.What is it like to seek fame? It is easy, right ? It is like a dog chasing his own tail who, when he captures it, does not know what else to do but to continue chasing it.What is the writer’s statement about fame? It is easy also.The cruelty of succe is that it often leads those who seek such succe to participate in their own destruction.4.play PPT P.4.Ok, what do you think when you come to the two questions? Do they arouse questions in your mind? Why does the author say the cruelty of succe lead to destruction? So from this part, we are aroused interests from the author’s statement, right? We are eager to find answer in the following paras, right? Therefore, we can’t help search in the next.Let’s see, part 2.5.play PPT P.5.Part Ⅱ provides us with further explanation, right? Let’s see this graph.Now think why does the author say this? Pay attention to the words and
why peimistic? Because they do not care about whether you like the jobs or not for real.They actually do not expect to witne unhappy ending.Therefore they encourage you to remain in your careers.6.play PPT P.6.Then what does the writer think of conquest of fame? Because the conquest of fame is difficult at best, and many end up emotionally if not financially bankrupt.See? From the graph.There are emotional bankrupt or financially bankrupt, and impure motives.So we can conclude that although artists should pay heavily and take great risk ,it is not easy to get rid of the attraction of fame.7.play PPT P.7.In para 3let’s the graph show us what? The relationship among the three subjects, right? The artists, the agents and the public.First, let’s see from the artists.What’s the relation of the agents and the artists? Some one? The agents control the artists.The artists depend on the agents.The public favor the artists or abandon them, right? And, The artists depend on the public.The agents make money from the public, right? The public give feedbacks.So we can conclude: The fate of artists is a blur.They can not control by themselves, right? 8.play PPT P.8.Ok, In para 4, The author give us some examples since in para 3, he has argued a lot.The authors、painters、moviemakers.If they succeed in gaining fame, how do these celebrities pay for their distinct style? Because they pay for it by giving up the freedom to expre themselves with other styles or forms.Here the author is trying to transform into another specific topic, right? The following is going to talk about what those succeers should give up.9.play PPT P.9.So what exactly should be given up ? Is there some one can answer me? It takes you out of yourself: You must be what the public thinks you are, not what you really are.Then what if celebrities remain true to themselves? Is there some one can answer me? They pay a heavy price for doing so, as shown in the case of Oscar.The case about Oscar is a extreme example, right? But here the author means to emphasize on his argument, right? Ok.Let’s see the graph.Those artists who gain fame finally all should go through this dilemma: right? How to 2
deal with the public image and true self？Do they want to take risk to pay heavily? Those are big and critical questions for them for real.10.play PPT P.10.Now let’s see para.7.8.What will those who failed initially think if they want to find comfort? Is there some one can answer me? Many great artists never found fame until well after they had paed away or in knowing that they did not sell out.Their genius is too sophisticated for contemporary audiences.So this is the way they may find comfort.And next, how does failure affect singled-minded seekers? Is there some one can answer me? They come to know that failure has motivated some famous people to work even harder to succeed.We can see these two paras are very long.The author use deduction to analyze his opinion.What’s that? Is there some one can answer me? Failure motivates people.Then the author shows us lots of examples, right? Thomas Wolfe, Beethoven, Pestalozzi and Thomas Edison.11.play PPT P.11.So from these paras, we got a clear picture: Artists who failed learn leons from their experience, remain in themselves and restart working harder.12.play PPT P.12.Ok ,now what is the main idea of part 2 ? See from the screen.As the writer argues, the conquest of fame is difficult at best, for many end up emotionally if not financially bankrupt.Even those who gain fame are hard-preed to sustain their fans’ favor, because making minute changes to their popular style leaves them with a significant risk of losing favor with their fans.To sustain their fame, they have to give up the freedom to expre themselves with any style other than their famous one.Oddly, the greatest winners are those who remain true to their quest for succe after repeated failures.For most people, however, failure is the end of their struggle, not the beginning.Some one can help me translate the answer? Good, please.So,cla, what do you think about chasing the tail of fame? I will leave this question at the end of the cla.Now let’s come to the last para.13.play PPT P.13.The last para also is part Ⅲ.In this part the author give his opinion about chasing fame, right? So what is the author’s advice on fame seeking?
Is there some one can answer me? It is easy, right? People may find that once they have conquered fame, it is not really what they ever wanted.So you should be happy with what you are and do what you are proud of.Maybe you won’t be famous in your own lifetime, but you may create better art.Ⅲ ending Ok, from this text, we have learnt a lot about fame and chasing the tail of fame, right? So, cla, what do you think about chasing the tail of fame? I will give all of you three minutes to think of and discu with your partners.Then it is your show time!4
