Early Life

Quotes: "Though he kept in touch with his biological parents, Jobs was adamant that the
parents who raised him were his real parents."
Paraphrasing: This example shows that he was faced with adversity when he was just a
teen. Steve Jobs was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. He was faced with the fact that he
was adopted and that his real parents gave him away.

Early Life
Quotes: "As a child, Jobs preferred doing things by himself. He swam competitively, but
was not interested in team sports or other group activities. He showed an early interest in
electronics and gadgetry. He spent a lot of time working in the garage workshop of a
neighbor who worked at Hewlett-Packard, an electronics manufacturer."
Paraphrasing: Steve Jobs showed promise as a child. He displayed the characteristics and
interest of his future profession at a young age.

Adversity
Quotes: "Cook also said that Jobs 'had the courage to admit he was wrong, and to change,
a quality which many people at that level, who have accomplished that much, lack.'"
Paraphrasing: This is another example of his perception and how people veiwed him
terriblely. He actually was a very honest man who knew right from wrong and whn he wa
wrong he admitted it. People outside of his company didnt know this and made
assumptions about him without knowing his true character.

Adversity

Quotes: "'[Jobs] cared deeply about things," said Cook, in the latest excerpt from
'Becoming Steve Jobs,' an upcoming biography about the Apple founder. 'Yes, he was
very passionate about things, and he wanted things to be perfect. And that was what was
great about him.' 'And a lot of people mistook that passion for arrogance," said Cook. 'He
wasn't a saint. I'm not saying that. None of us are. But it's emphatically untrue that he
wasn't a great human being.'"
Paraphrasing: Steve Jobs had to deal with perception issues from the public. Outsiders
from his company thought that he was just a stuck up, heartless, rich person but he was
the opposite of this. He was down to earth and he cared about everyone but he was a
perfectionist that people mistook for arrogance.

Adversity
Quotes: "Despite the warm reception, however, the NeXT machine never caught on. It
was too costly, had a black-and-white screen, and could not be linked to other computers
or run common software."
Paraphrasing: This shows that that Steve Jobs went through adaversity becasue his
second attempt to jumpstart his career. His new computer company designed a new
computer that never really caught on. This was the second time that in a row that his
computer had failed and he was in a mentally bad state.

Adversity
Quotes: "The Macintosh did not sell well to businesses, however. It lacked features other
personal computers had, such as a corresponding high quality printer. The failure of the
Macintosh signaled the beginning of Jobs's downfall at Apple. Jobs resigned in 1985
from the company he had helped found, though he retained his title as chairman of its
board of directors."
Paraphrasing: This is when Jobs and Wozniak invented a new, easy to use, computer but
didn't sell very well because it had lacked the higher end technology of that era that other
computers had. tThis made people not want to buy the new model which started the
downfall of Apple.

Quotes: "Jobs and Wozniak had opened an entirely new marketpersonal computers.
Personal computers began an entirely new way of processing information."
Paraphrasing: This is what Steve Jobs is known for which is his computer. This computer
was revolutionary because before he invented the personal computer all computers were
gigantic and had were very expensive and becasue of this your everyday person wouldn't
have a computer. If Steve Jobs never invented this schools wouldn't be able to issue
laptops like they do today which help increase learning.

Quotes: "With its rounded, brightly-colored monitors, the iMac system was popular with
consumers new to the information superhighway. Though Jobs had been criticized in the
past for his attention to style over substance, the look of the product was integral. It was
initially available not in five colors, but "flavors," as Apple called them: blueberry, grape,
lime, strawberry, and tangerine. Unlike the typical system, available for years only in a
dull beige or perhaps black, the iMac had a unique, fun appeal."
Paraphrasing: This is what made him famous. The iMac is the basis of all advaneced
Apple computers. Customers liked this computer becasue it was fast, light, easy to use,
and very colorful.

Quotes: "NeXT was not, however, the end of Steve Jobs. In 1986 Jobs purchased a small
company called Pixar from filmmaker George Lucas (1944). Pixar specialized in
computer animation."
Paraphrasing: Pixar is now of of the biggest movie companies of all time. They make
many childrens movies and they have made some of the best childrens movies of all time.
