Life is Beautiful review

What I liked about this movie is that it really gave a new perspective on how the more time that progresses the more you see the Germans taking over. The messsage portrayed isn’t just in the storyline but also the background. You really have to pay attention to your surrounding and it gives it more story. The movie made everything come to life, everything seemed to be exactly how it felt. It really felt like I was there and watching it made me scared of the Nazis. The cloths and setting where amazing and the acting was jut phenomenal. The story was amazing as well. At first it was a comedic approach to romance, then it turned dark as the nazis took over and they lost everything just in one day. If your still skeptical this movie won an Oscar and another one for one of its actors. I totally recommend this movie to anyone intrested in the holocaust or just to watch it. There is one downside, it is in Italian, don’t worry because the movie has easy to read subtitles that lets you understand everything that’s going on.

13 Reasons Why

13 reasons why is an amazing book that touches on a difficult topic. This young adult fiction book was written by Jay Asher and everyone should read it.

This book is about a boy name Clay Jensen, he receives something in the mail full of cassette tapes. He finds a player and to his surprise it’s Hannah Baker’s voice talking. Hannah Baker commmited suicide a couple weeks ago and him receiving it was unsettling. The tapes were numbered 1-13 and it goes through 13 reasons why she decided to end her life. My favorite part is when Clay finds the tapes because it really is kinda creepy getting recordings from someone who killed themself.

Clay is pretty deluded because everything he was accused of wrong in his perspective. He denied what he did and that he doesn’t deserve to by on the “list” He stated, I didn’t do anything to deserve these tapes, I didn’t go near her, how can I possibly be partially responsible for her suicide. He really doesn’t like being accused and he found a way to disprove it.

I personally like the book because you always have to guess what the next reason is. Even though I don’t necessarily relate to this, it’s always nice to see something around this situation and even help prevent this type of thing. I don’t really recommend this book to people who are sensitive about this topic, but if you aren’t this book will really change your view. This book has a great lesson in it and that you should never bully someone because their different and don’t bully in general. Many people loose their lives like this. Just imagine it was you getting bullied before you do it.

Steve Jobs

My book is called Steve Jobs The Man Who Thought Differently by Karen Blumenthal. This biography goes through every detail about his career and late childhood. Giving the reader a whole new perspective on him.

This book is a great biography about someone who change and revolutionized technology today. Steve Jobs is without a dought the best technician ever. The book runs through him as a child and who his parents were to him in is garage creating the best product known to man and finally death. This will truly make you look at him like you never did before, and maybe learn a thing or two by reading this book. My favorite part of the book is when he discovers what his company name is going to be. It gives a small window on how big the company will turn out to be.

Steve is a very hard person to work with, but that why he ended up being so successful. He wasn’t as determined as a kid but more sensitive when it came to being adopted into a family. He soon realized his really parents aren’t bad people. That’s what encouraged him to keep going because he knew his family was doing the best for him.

I like this book a lot and it really gives me more value to the technology I have. It’s nice to know what one of the most successful business man started at and what he needed to do to have such a big company that changed the world. I definently suggest this book to anyone who is wanting to be an entrepreneur. The theme is that anyone can create something revolutionary and you shouldn’t let anything get in your way. You have to stay strong and keep doing what you love and don’t ever give up. That’s how Steve did it.
