JOURNEY TO FAME
CHAPTER 6-11
Here we are again proudly with another blog about I Hate My Selfie! These next five chapters have really been fun to read. But like I said in the last blog, this autobiography is not only fun, but it's hard to read sometimes. First, let me start with the fact that in these five chapters, Shane rises up to fame, but don't get all excited because he will also experience the sad and heartfelt death of his grandmother, and go through a lot of insecurities. Other interesting things is that he gets to meet his first fan, and he gets to play a role in a horror movie called Smiley Face! When Shane's grandmother died, he makes it sound very positive, but later on in the chapter, he explains how it really took a toll on him. To him, she was an amazingly funny and mean grandmother. He described her as "miserable, funny, awesome, mean, and unforgettable." (pg. 100 Dawson). With her personality like that, I would describe her as a tough cookie! She always inspired Shane to be strong and to never let people bring him down. This really inspired me well. In another chapter, Shane explains how he finally got to lose a total of 150 pound! This chapter really made me happy for him, until he included the part
where he had all the saggy skin. It's true, when you are overweight and lose a lot of pounds, there will be a lot of excess stretched out skin! This made Shane very insecure and depressed, but with the help of his friends he became a lot more confident! Also, did I mention the one-piece ladies swimsuit he would always wear under his close to keep his saggy skin from coming out? In another interesting chapter, he gets asked by a friend if he wants to play the role of one of the main character in Smiley Face. He said yes. This was very exciting for him because it was his first movie and he was a main character. This helped his fame a lot! In the fifth chapter I read, Shane had his first encounter with a fan. At the time, Youtube was new, so five-thousand subscribers was a lot! Anyway, Shane was in a restaurant and decided to go to the bathroom. When he was on his way, a random girl walked up to him and said "OMG! shane! I love your videos!" (pg. 110, Shane). This one compliment made him very happy to get noticed. As time went by, he gained more subscribers and more fame. Some of his fans were awesome, young, and nice people! But one day, he met a fan who happens to be the nurse that was going to do Shane's yearly checkup. And that would be have to be a full body examination. Yikes!
QUOTES-
1. "I just don’t have the willpower to hit up the gym every day for two hours, and the idea of cutting candy out of my diet seems impossible."

1. "I just don’t have the willpower to hit up the gym every day for two hours, and the idea of cutting candy out of my diet seems impossible."
- pg. 110, chapter 7, Shane Dawson
- I thought this quote was very funny and clever! I found it very relatable to because I think the same way.
- This quote would also be a example of how he would put in funny jokes to make the book sound more entertaining, but he's actually serious most of the time.
Wow! these five chapters were very fun to read and kind of sad. I liked the first five chapters better, but these were really good as well. I can't wait to read more of this book! For the first time, I actually want to come back and read more! Its funny because the more you read this book, the more you learn about society, Shane's life, and generally how to accept more of peoples differences! Hopefully, this book keeps its sense of humor and its interesting things, cause I ain't done reading!
