I have been reading the book you’re not doing it right by Michael Ian Black. In the book Black talks about his marriage, sex, death, and many other embarrassing stories he has had in his lifetime. Many of his critics commend Black for being so brutally honest, one saying “This book is so frank, so full of amusingly embarrassing confessions, I should probably be giving Michael Black a hug instead of a blurb.” My question is would you be willing to expose the darkest corners of your life for the sake of your autobiography?
I would only reveal my darkest days if it was in a autobiography that was sure to help other people. If my darkest days were only being revealed for money, I would not think about doing it. I wouldn't want to tarnish my families name just to make some money by letting people read about to my tough times. I'm not saying I don't agree with what Black did, because I don't know what his motives were for certain.
ReplyDeleteI wouldnt reveal my deepest darkest secrets for an autobiography because I feel that most of my very personal information should be meant for only me to know. I wouldnt be ok with exposing my friends and family and my own reputation just for others enjoyment or entertainment. To me there are many better ways to make money then to do it this way.
ReplyDeleteI would not reveal my darkest secrets for an autobiography. I wouldn’t because I wouldn’t want to wreck my reputation and hurt my family. If I was bribed I still wouldn’t do it. Money doesn’t matter in this case, it’s not worth it. I could make better money doing something else. I think what Black did was wrong, unless he really wanted to do what he did.
ReplyDeleteThere is no way in heck I would ever do that. There is no way of knowing what effects that could have on your life. Secrets are there for a reason and people should be carefull about how and who they revial them to.
ReplyDeleteI do not believe I would be able to this for a number of reasons. One, I like to keep my private life private. Two, I don't believe my life story would be that intersting. Lastly, I don't believe I would be a clever enough writer to sell a book.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would be able to share the darkest parts of my private life. If I did, I would probably stay inside my house for the rest of my life, somthing I wouldn't find enjoyable. I admire people somtimes for being so open, but personally I wouldn't and couldn't do it. I like keeping my private life private.
ReplyDeleteA super exposing and detailed autobiography = STRAIGHT CASH $$$ sign me up! It's probably my outgoing and confident personality, but I don't have anything that I wouldn't tell anyone. Nothing in my life has been that awful or embarrassing that I wouldn't feel like sharing. I would love to have a book. For example, I would share the story of my 6th birthday in the Black Hills. It was super hot and I was just looking to cool off somewhere, so I was sitting on this statue of this woman from the Wild West times. This statue of this woman was very "voluptuous" and she was working it. Me, being all innocent, began rubbing my face all over her chest because the cold statue felt soooo good on my face. And now me and my family watch the video tape of me doing it and laugh. #Memories (Do I get EC for hashtagging?)
ReplyDeleteBeing the person that I am I believe it would be extremely hard for me to talk about the deepest, darkest things in my life in a book. I believe this is true because one you write it it will be out for the world to see, and there is absolutle nothing you could do about it. I am not even the type of person that posts anything on facebook or twitter, because I feel there is just no reason, and also one you say it it is out for the world to see.
