The overnight sensation

Dear all,
Here comes the questions for discussion.


1. Have you ever heard both of them before you read the articles? How do you think of them? Do they have anything in common?
2. Do you think they achieve the instant fame somewhat because they don’t conform to the usual stereotype? Why or why not?
3. Please name some people who became overnight sensations. In your opinion, who most deserves the honor? Do you disapprove the success of anyone? Why?
4. Would you like to be one of them if you had the chance? If yes, which one? Why or why not?
5. Some people say that in tough times, people seek heroes to comfort them and give them inspiration, and that’s why such tales are more prevalent. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
