The name of my biography is called Steve Jobs The Man Who Thought Different. The author of this book is Karen Blumenthal, Who is also the illustrator. It is about Steve Jobs' life and how he made modern technology. As a child, he had many challenges, but when he grew older, he had even more.Steve Jobs was the man who thought different, he saw the world differently, and he made the world different. The main lesson Steve Jobs learned is that you should never give up. Steve Jobs faced many hardships. For example, he was adopted and was fired from Apple. Later on, he overcame these challenges by finding a new family and making two new companies after he was fired. Even though he had a rough childhood, he became the tech celebrity that we know today. Steve Jobs , at a point, was a selfish man and sometimes put work before family. But gradually, he started spending more time with his family members that he never talked to. In conclusion, I chose this book because I wanted to do Steve Jobs for my project. If you're doing a biography project like me, I would recommend it because it had a lot of information on Steve Jobs. It also is a good book to read for fun since it is very detailed, clear, and the story is very interesting. My answered question to Steve Jobs is that why did you have really high expectations for your co-workers?

Miao women are strange... Why do they wear their ancestors hair? That doesn't even begin to make sense to me.

I love this book

Have you witnessed JFK's assassination or even seen the video on YouTube? Well what if you could see it happen in your mind from just reading a book? The book I read was The President Has Been Shot by James L. Swanson published in 2013, with the genre being nonfiction. I have not always been a big fan of non-fiction, but after reading this book it has shown me as a reader that non-fiction can be just as interesting as fiction. I give this book 5 stars for detailed information and the quality of the details. While reading the book I never felt that there was a part that did not have much detail. The author had to have spent a lot of time finding little but specific facts. The book is mainly about John F Kennedy's assassination, but also his early life of how he became President and the aftermath and chaos from the presidents death. A very interesting feature about the book is that it explains what Lee Harvey Oswald,(JKF's assassin) did to prepare the assassination attempt. The book has exact details because in just one example states,"The third bullet sliced through John Kennedy's thatch of thick reddish-brown hair. It cut a neat hole through his scalp and perforated his skull. The velocity, the pressure, and the physics of death did the rest. The right rear side of the president's skull blew out -exploded really-tearing open his scalp, and spewing skull fragments, blood, and brains several feet into the air where it hung for a few seconds, suspended in a pink cloud."(Swanson 113.) All though this is a disturbing example there is very extreme details which make the book very accurate and more interesting to read because at times like this you feel like you did or are witnessing JFK's assassination. Another example in the book states,"She pressed her cheek against his still warm face. She kissed his body. Then she removed her wedding ring and slipped it onto one of his fingers." This information and the details given are so precise because the author of the book knows every single small fact about the assassination and the aftermath. Some of the information doesn't even matter but it shows how absolutely nothing was left out of the book. The type of reader who would like this book is someone who is interested in American history or if they would like to learn about JFK.

I love animals, and I looked through this encyclopedia and learned lots. I did not buy it but i did take it out of both my school library and local library.

I LOVE this book! Maya Gold really has her work cut out for her. Diana has to sneak into a snotty prep school because someone there stole her best friend's NEW cell phone. Mystery and mayhem is on it's way. READ THE BOOK!

This book honestly moved my heart. Hamilton had a rough life, but he soared above all of it and became victorious in the end of the revolution. He was a respected man, and his family, honor, and knowledge meant everything to him. Alexander was an intelligent individual: He graduated law school, he became a lawyer, he was George Washington's right hand man, and he was the first head of the Treasury Department. I am inspired by him to do the best I can in school, and I always remind myself that if he could be that successful in life, then so could I.

I LIKE THIS BOOK
