Latifah was born in Newark, New Jersey on March 18, 1970. At age 8, she got her stage name from an Arab name book, Latifah means delicate and kind in Arabic. Daughter of divorced parents, Queen Latifah started her career beatboxing for a group called Ladies Fresh at only 17 years of age. After a while of rapping and hip hop, Queen Latifah started singing in other registers such as jazz and soul music. She released many albums and sang at the annual football competition, Super Bowl. In parallel with her music career, Latifah has acted in some sitcoms such as the second season of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. She later on, made her own talk-show called The Queen Latifah Show, which started in 1999 and ended in 2001; the show got back in 2013 for 2 more years. In Conclusion, Queen Latifah is a multi-talented person as well as a lovable person due to her sense of humor and delicacy.

This book is a biography because it is about a very talented celebrity called Queen Latifah. She can be designated a hero because she provides entertainment to people. Latifah should be considered as an example for black people because she would rap about the struggles of racism. Latifah mainly got famous as a rapper but through time, she discovered she was not bad at acting and hosting shows. Latifah is loved because of her music and her lovely voice. Her show contains great content such as inviting popular celebrities like comedian, Kevin Hart. All in all, Queen Latifah is a talented hero who should be an essential example to society.

The best part of the story is when Latifah got her first record deal as a rapper at age 17. It was interesting to see how hard she has worked to achieve this milestone and how much she grew after reaching this goal. The worst part of the story was when the fact that Latifah’s parents got a divorce when she was 10 years old. It is usually hard to have divorced parents, and it is sad to see that Latifah has to deal with that. In conclusion, this book would be recommended to people who are interested in her talk show; as well as individuals who like rap and music. The book would be recommended to fellow classmates because this woman teaches that practice makes perfect. ...more "

Steve was adopted and lived in the San Fransisco Bay in the 1960's. He then went to high school in Cupertin Born on February 24, 1955, Steven Paul Jobs took technology to another level. Steve was the founder of Apple along with Steve Wozniak in 1976. Steve was adopted and lived in the San Fransisco Bay in the 1960's. He then went to high school in Cupertino, Californa and later on went to college in Portland and dropped out in 1972. He founded Apple to make electronic devices along with Wozniak and created the successful macintosh, Apple's first computer, in 1984. Jobs not only made electronic devices but also made animated movies. Jobs worked for Disney Pixar and made Toy Story. Throughout the years, Apple got more popular because of their smartphones, portable computers, and tablets. Steve Jobs died October 5, 2011, due to a respiratory arrest. Apple, after the death of Jobs, is in the hands of Tim Cook.

The topic of this book is important because it is about someone who advanced technology to a high level. Steve created most of the devices that the population is using. The book is non-fiction because it talks about a famous person who has revolutionized technology. Steve has also created applications for the smartphones and tablets for working and for amusement. The author wrote this book because it is important to know the life behind Steve and Apple. For instance, when Steve was young, he loved Bob Dylan and was a Boudist in his college years. Another title would be, Steve Jobs: The Evolution of Technology. That would be a good title because he modernized the world; therefore, billions of people use his creations for work and entertainment. Thus, Steve Jobs was remembered for his effort to make his devices sell and succeed.

The most interesting part of the book was Steve's college years. Steve and some of his friends dropped out of college to make the macintosh in a backyard. The least interesting part was that he was a hippie and smoked a lot of marijuana, a drug. Another novel would be read by the author, Patricia Lakin because biographies are intriguing. This biography was well explained in chronological order. The book would be recommended to Middle Schoolers and Elementary School students. It contains enough information for a Middle Schooler, and it is readable for the Elementary School students. ...more "
