Shayna's Story

1. To help with the transitions. It added emotional fillers. information of the baby and the height of the fall.

2. I think there wasn't a standup because then that would distract from the intenseness of the story.

3.I think the biggest surprise in the stroy is that Shayna lives and manages to give birth to her baby without any complications. A true miracle.

4. It ends with hope because you see Shayna all normal again, and playing with her little baby, talking about her miracle.

Steve Jobs will truly be remembered in the minds of many. Apple is a major part of the lives of many individuals around the U.S. and the world. I feel like he will be remembered for his work towards making Apple one of the most popular brands. His creation of Apple has left a great new discovery for the rest of the computer and technology business to build upon.  I was quite saddened by his death, and I am pretty sure many others are as well.
