Poem

I stare
At the empty
Space

It rains
Its Dark

The sun stares at me
I look back at it with sadness

But behind these
Bars
I cry

Tally marks on my wall
3,4,5...
298

love
Hate

But I hate Jail
My crime affects me
But now no one else

In the song "Paranoid Android", he says "What's there". He is definitely paranoid. He wants all the "voices in his head to stop the noise hes trying to get some rest". this shows how paranoid he is.
Another example is,"Standing on a bridge, ray down on me from my grave to heaven god loves all his children". This shows how he wants to die. I think that he wants to die because he is so paranoid.
Overall the song is about paranoia and that everyone has a daily routine. So he becomes a paranoid android.

American Born Chinese

In “American Born Chinese” Jin-Wang is an American born  Chinese, in just the opening page he is stereotyped as coming all the way from China, he is from San Francisco. This is just one of the ways that Jin gets stereotyped.
One way is that in class a kid raised his hand, the teacher picks on him and he says, “My momma told me that Chinese people eat dogs”. This made Jin put his head in shame, at that moment he hated being a minority. In the next strip the teacher says “No Tommy i’m sure Jin doesn’t do that, actually i’m sure Jins family probably stopped that sort of thing when they moved to America. Jin is ashamed of his nationality.
The second thing is that, when it comes to lunch time, Jin eats dumplings, some kids had never seen that. One kid came up to him and said, “what are those”? Jin says,”Dumplings” and the kid says,”Oh ok don’t eat my dog”. Jin hates his life and can’t stand being a minority.
Overall there is so much stereotyping in the world and I think that this book shows it overall.

Upfront

In the article "Whats The Deal With Iran" I think that they talk about the two different types of people in Iran. The people who like america, but also the people who hate it.

The people of Iran actually like half the things that Americans have made. They show that Iranians like the freedom that Americans represent and that they really like our products and ethics. The Iranians that are very racist toward to the Americans refuse to not use any of the American ethic toward life. They think that Americans are planning a nuclear bombing. This is just another stereotyping.

In conclusion there are a lot of stereotyping toward american but a lot of people who don't agree with that, stereotyping, it is bad.

People that we couldn't hear from

I think the there peoples perspectives missing from the text of the book the man who thought different Steve Jobs. One of them is Steve Wozniak another, one of the workers of Apple.

Steve Wozniak shows strong emotions about Steve Jobs. Wise ass always talks about how Steve was very emotional and precise about his work. I think that Wozniak could've showed a lot of different perspectives on Steve's work life. Steve also talked about how he was kind of rude to him and took his ideas and took credit for them. Wozniak has strong opinions on Steve Jobs work ethic and precision in his work.

I think that the workers of apple. could've showed a lot of things that we didn't get to see about Steve Jobs. A lot of the employees of Apple said that Steve Jobs was very rude to them and that he could've helped them but instead tried to do everything himself. A lot of people had strong opinions on Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs is very kind man said a lot of the workers but he is to confident in his work and things that is the best. Steve Jobs fired a lot of people because he thought that they were not working as hard as they could but in reality he just had very high expectations. Overall the workers had mixed feelings about jobs but they like their experience at the Apple company.

In conclusion jobs was a very mixed method but they could've had different perspectives of characters that we didn't get to sit in the book.

I think that in the video she shows a lot of emotions sadness, happiness, and joy.

I think that she shows sadness because she says a lot of thing how her father was depressed and how he would listen to the radio all the time. She tells he audience how how he would always talk about how you shouldn't go to school in disguise. She talks about how you shouldn't be able not to go to the school.

I think that she shows joy when she talks about how she was happy that she had the privilege to go to school. I think that she was so happy that her mom became a teacher and she had the right to do school work. I think that she thought that all of her friends should have had the right to go to school.

I think that she thought it should be a law that you should go to school and be taught. I think that every one has the right to be taught, in her opinion.

In conclusion I think that you should really be have the right, t should be a law that you have to go to school.

In my book “Steve Jobs The Man Who Thought Different” the overall theme of the book is that one small idea can lead to a big journey. I think that there is three reasons why the book shows this.
First, the company, Apple, started in a garage. I think that this just shows how it was completely, a kids dream that spiraled. At first Apple only had one computer and they only made sixty, they sold them to one small store, and then they sold them. Steve Jobs told the store manager that he would be quite interested in their second model of Apple computer. Their second computer was called the Apple 2, this “revolutionized the computing industry.
The second reason is that they created an office space and hired people. The Apple 2 had been the first all-in-one computer, it was amazing. Apple then tried to expand their computer selection. Steve Jobs, created the, Apple office and hired hundreds of people. The company was in demand, and everyone wanted to work for Apple.
Third, People today still use Apple products, everyday. Today, Apple is one of the lead computer, and software companies on the planet. In my opinion, on every block that I walk on I see at least one person with an iPhone, even I have one. Apple has expanded all over the world and they have created new products. Apple products are still in demand, and they always go out of stock on the first day.
In conclusion, Apple has grown, from a kids dream, to a huge leading company for people today.
