2. Background of the Names of Celebrities or Famous People
The writer is going to analyze about the background of the names of celebrities or famous people because the writer think that it
i. Adam and Eve
According to the Bible in Genesis, God took some clay from the ground and made the shape of a man. Then He breathed gently into the shape. The
mans eyes opened and he began to live. God called him Adam. The Lord made a beautiful garden for him to live in. The garden, called
Eden, was full of many wonderful things. God hade made the man in His image to keep Him company and look after the world.
God brought all the animals to Adam one at a time to be given their names. Elephant, he would say, or Tiger, or Porcupine, but God felt sorry
for Adam. None of these animals is really like him, thought God, he needs someone to share his life. Someone who cares for him and who he can care for.
That night, God took a rib from Adams side and made a woman. When Adam
awoke the following morning, he found a wife, Eve, lying asleep beside him. Adam was so happy.
God told the man and woman that it was their job to take care of their new home but never touch the tree in the middle of the Garden. That tree gives
knowledge of good and evil. The day you eat its fruit, you will die. Unfortunately, Adam and Eve broke the rules, they had eaten the
forbidden fruits and they were ashamed of what they had done and afraid to face God, so they hid in the trees.. Adam tried to put the blame on Eve, and Eve tried
to put the blame on the serpent, but God was angry with all three of them. God punished Adam and Eve, and all their descendants, by making their
lives hard. No longer could they live in the perfect world of the Garden of Eden. Men would have to struggle and sweat for their existence. Women would have to
give birth to a child in pain and be ruled over by their husbands. Adam and Eve were thrown out of the beautiful Garden of Eden forever.
Adam and Eve is well known because their issue for their belief. Their faith to God was disappointing as God created them to maintain the earth.
Instead of due what God orders them, they betrayed God and do what the serpent Satan told them. Because of that, we can associate adam and eve as believe.
ii. J. Arthur Rank
Based on British Industrial History, Joseph Arthur Rank, 1st Baron Rank December 22, 1888
– March 29, 1972 was a British industrialist and film producer, and founder of the Rank Organization, now known as the Rank Group.
J. Arthur Rank was born in Kingston upon Hull in England, into a family environment which was dominated by his father Joseph Rank who had built a
substantial flour milling business. He was educated at The Leys School in Cambridge. Joseph is reported to have told his son Arthur that he was a dunce at
school and that the only way that he could succeed in life would be in his fathers flour mill. After school he had an apprenticeship in his fathers milling
business and was then moved to London. As the facts tell that J. Arthur Rank was a rich man, we can associate the money with the word “bank”.
iii. Robin Hood
Robin Hood is an outlaw. That means he lives outside the protection of the law. But Robin is a law unto himself. Hes the self-styled king of the
greenwood -- either Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire or Barnsdale in Yorkshire.
Robin is no common criminal. As the famous saying goes, he robs from the rich and gives to the poor. The poor have little to fear from Robin Hood. His
enemies are the rich and corrupt, especially the Sheriff of Nottingham and the bad apples in the Church like the Abbot of St. Marys and the Bishop of
Hereford. Robin defends the underdog against oppression.
Steal from the rich to give to the poor, is the creed of Robin Hood. Its a feel good tale of the heroic Robin Hood against the evil rich king, and by
extension the rich altogether. Most people love Robin Hood. And thats a good thing.
iv. Tod Sloan
According to The Phrase Finder, James Forman Tod Sloan was born in Indiana in 1874 and overcame neglect and poverty in his early life to become a
highly successful jockey. Initially rejected by his parents, his life changed when he discovered his talent as a jockey and began to win prestigious and lucrative
races. His success was based on the short-stirrup style of riding, sitting high on the horses neck, which he developed himself - called the monkey crouch.
Despite his start in life as an uneducated and malnourished street urchin, Sloan lived the American dream by becoming one of the worlds best-known
sportsmen. He adopted the name Todhunter and embarked on a flamboyant lifestyle, complete with fast cars, adoring women and a personal valet.
Sloans fall from grace was as spectacular as his previous success. Following pressure from Lord Durham, the steward of The Jockey Club, the
sports controlling body, The Prince of Wales dismissed him. He was later informed by The Jockey Club that he need not apply for a license for the 1901
season due to unspecified conducts prejudicial to the best interests of the sport. There were allegations of jealousy and anti-Americanism in the US press. These
were no doubt justified but it seems that the primary motivation was that they
just didnt like him. Whatever the cause, the racing ban was upheld in America too and his career was effectively over. After some ill-fated attempts to open
businesses and break into film acting, Sloan faded from public view. He was married and divorced twice but died alone, of cirrhosis, in 1933.
It is rather emotional that Sloans name should have become synonymous with loneliness. Both his early and late life seems lonely and depressing. In his
autobiography, called with some feeling Tod Sloan by Himself, he wrote of his sadness at being abandoned by his long-dead parents - I was left alone by those
I have never ceased to grieve for. Therefore, the expression of Tod Sloan in cockney rhyming slang means alone, because he was alone in most of his
lifetime.
v. Herman Finck
Hermann Finck was a German theorist, composer, teacher and organist. The great-nephew of composer Heinrich Finck, Hermann was born in Pirna, and
died at Wittenberg. After 1553 he lived at Wittenherg, where he was organist, and there, in 1555, was published his collection of wedding songs. Few details of
his life have been preserved. Hermann Fincks theoretical writing was good, particularly his observations on the art of singing and of making ornamentations
in song. His most celebrated work is entitled Practica musica, exemplavariorum
signorum, proportionum, et canonum, judicium de louis ac quaedam de arle suaviter et arlificiose cantandi conhinens Wittenberg, 1556. It is of great
