Steve Jobs #3


For my non fiction book report I am currently reading Walter Isaacson's "Steve Jobs". As of this point in time I am on page 208/571. Considering the title of this book it is quite obvious that the main character is Steve Jobs, the famed creator of apple. Steve Jobs, has a very interesting personality. I will begin by talking about his personality when he was younger (0-14). During this time period of his life Steve jobs was quite simply a troublesome child. He would consistently play pranks, play around with his fathers tools that were used for fixing cars, etc... However as he grew he began to have consistent mood changes. For example when he was working at apple he might be in a great mood, then see someones idea, and be unhappy for the rest o the day. Also he had a very basic psychology in terms of liking and disliking products, he would either say that a product was great or that it was despicable. But Steve Jobs was also a sort of "Crybaby" when he was at apple. In this current part Steve Jobs is being evicted from the main part of apple, and when he hears this he quite literally runs to his office and begins to cry, "It finally sank in. Jobs realized there was no appeal, no way to warp the reality. He broke down in tears and began making phone calls to his supporters"(Isaacson 206). Now onto Steve Jobs physical traits. As you can see from the picture above his physical traits changed very much. In his youth Steve was in reality a bit scruffy, and simplistic. He would wear jeans and a T-shirt to work, with his long hair cut. However later in life he began to wear turtle necks, and ended up cutting his hair and growing a beard. Other than that Steve Jobs was relatively frail and in the book no interest was shown to PE.
