The author is also a man who tells me he is not Nicolette. The main topic of my book is the Nazi occupation of Paris‚ France‚

deal. Just three stories" Steve Jobs (Transcript Line 4 = TL4) said in the beginning of his speech in Stanford University commencement ceremony in 2005. My analysis will argue that in these three life stories Jobs shares with the audience his life philosophy‚ and suggest that if they listen to his tips‚ they would have a better life. I am interested to understand which artistic and rhetorical tools he used to persuade the audience in his ideas. My question is whether Steve Jobs can be describe as a

Earle states numerous cases in which Nobles portrays his own rehabilitation. Although many believe criminals‚ no matter the crime‚ are all vicious and evil without really exploring

Steve Reich lost interest in serialism early. A student of Luciano Berio at Mills College‚ Reich quickly realized the melodic limitations of twelve-tone composition. Serialist rhythm was a different story. Reich was enamored with the processes and repetition inherent to serial rhythm and it helped to form what is‚ without a doubt‚ the prevailing link between Reich’s work over the past forty years; his complex‚ innovative use of rhythm. It’s absolutely the case with Music for Mallet Instruments‚ Voices
