"It's The Inside That Counts"
Once upon a time, not too long ago, there lived an old man
by the name of Joe.
Joe made dolls of all shapes and sizes. Some wore cots and
some wore disguises.
They ranged in colors black or white, and came in all size
from heavy to light.
Each doll was different, no two were the same, and every
doll had its own name
Roger resembled a star football player, and William looked a
lot like the mayor.
Bertha was short, a bit round and quiet plain, While Jenny
was pretty and destined for fame.
Joe sold the dolls in a small, redbrick store, Twelve hours
a day people came through the door.
Folks bought the dolls for kids, sisters, and brothers.
Needless to say, some sold better than others.
The boys liked the ones that had knives and ray guns.
A doll with long hair and long, puffy dress, Is usually the
one that the girls liked the best.
Some people collected one of each kind. Others had one
special figure in mind.
One day a girl, who was unlike the rest, came in to pick out
the doll she liked best.
She would randomly pick out a doll from the pile, Keeping
her eyes closed, she would hold it a while.
Then ever so careful, she’d put that doll back, and pick up
another doll from the rack.
Joe watched the girl as she held Annie, then Nick, secretly
wondering which doll she would pick.
Then she picked up a doll no one handled before, not
noticing the face or the clothes that it wore.
The doll had loose seams and was missing a leg, and the
clothes that it wore were made out of rag.
The hair on the doll was like the hair of a clown, and the
face of the doll bore an unpleasant frown.
This doll was about as worn out as they came. It was the
only doll that didn’t have a name.
But as the girl held it, she knew with no doubt, that this
was the doll she’d dreaming about.
Joe rang up the doll and when he
was done, the total came to $3.71.
As she gave him the money she said “It’s too bad, the doll
that I want has a face that’s so sad.”
“What made you pick her she looks such a dread? Why didn’t
you choose one with a smile instead?’
The girl looked up at Joe and said, “I just bet, I know why
this doll is so very upset.
She sat on the shelf being the best she could be, but an
ugly old doll was all people would see.
Since no one would hold her, they never found out, it’s not
the outside, but the inside that counts.”
Joe was impressed by this little girl, She’s one of those
people sees a rock as pearl.
She was unlike the rest and what set her apart =, was instead
of her eyes, this girl saw with her heart.

When I was told that our book report was meant to be non fictional there were two names that popped up in my head, and these were Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates. I knew for a fact that I wanted a tough read and that it should be about one of these two people. After some research I found a book that I knew I would like. And this was Walter Isaacson's "Steve Jobs". As of this point in time I have read 539/571 pages, and am about to finish the book. In the duration of this book, Steve Jobs hasn't had many obstacles. In total there are two major obstacles. One of which has a solution, the other doesn't. The first was already mentioned and it is that in 1985 Steve Jobs was fired from Apple, the company he started with his best friend Wozniak. However this did not stop Steve Jobs from continuing his control of computer companies. As he immediately created a new company (NeXT) with 5 of his followers. This company "NeXT" was meant to be mainly for academics, however "NeXT" was a failure but Apple was beginning to become a failure as well, so the current CEO recalled Steve Jobs back to Apple, which then grew massively. This would most likely be very hard to implement in my life as I do not possess all of the traits that Steve Jobs possessed which forced Apple to call him back. The quote above however perfectly describes the situation that Steve jobs was in, "Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith". Now onto the next obstacle. This obstacles was very simple. Steve jobs was diagnosed with cancer, which essentially sealed his invitation to join the grim reaper. Sadly, there was no way to overcome this obstacle, but like the quote instructs you to do. Steve jobs continued to deliver fantastic products. However this experience is always applied to our life because when we get older we become more conscious and realize that we are going to die, and there is no way to escape death.
