Part I ( Para1-2):Fame enslaves the person who pursues it because when he/she becomes famous, he/she will not only attract the public’s attention, but also has to work and live in line with t he public’s expectations. He/she then becomes the slave of his/her own success.

Part II ( Para3-4):For those who look for fame, failure is not necessarily a bad thing, especially for those who fail to perform well enough, because people tend to be more tolerant towards and sympathetic with them.

Part III ( Para5):Though fame brings disadvantages to those who achieve it, people still seek fame for various reasons.

Part IV ( Para6): It is better to take a critical attitude towards fame.
