Thinking of a hypothetical scenario that I could use in my Commonplace paper is a little difficult for me to think about, probably because it is hypothetical. What if we all, including celebrities went through life hiding who we really were? Would we all be happy and content? Okay, let's look at this from a mundane example. What if you pretened to be a vegetarian, but in reality you love and enjoy meat. And let's imagine that this guy/girl you are interested in is a vegetarian. But knowing you want to be with him or her, everytime the two of you go out, you pretend to be a vegetarian. So what if he or she catches you and realizes that your not who you say are, that you been hiding a side of yourself from them. That person would probably feel tricked. They also would most likely be more upset in the fact that you tried to hide it and not share all the parts of you with them. Therefore, it is important to be comfortable with who you are, and bring your public and private selves together. However, back to the topic of celebrity image. What if a record label was very interested in signing a particular artist to their label? On stage you seem to be this very outgoing, energetic self, or at least this is the perception that the audience recieve. So the record label decides to meet with this particular potential star, and they discover that they're not who they thought they were. That label could possibly not sign them or drop them from the label. So in this scenario, not bringing your public and private selves together could result in losing their job.
Public and private persona we all have them.
And so it is.
