The author starts off the interview with telling it like a story, bringing it to an interview, then having it go back to being a story. Some writing techniques that were displayed in this story were quotes, information shared about not only the one character who was being interviewed but about others as well. The overall piece was the perfect example of a concert or a loop. The introduction is very abrupt and to the point about the idea behind the article, even on the very first sentence.

The author begins with looking at the dark moments in the characters life. the writing becomes a biography on Job's and Apple and how they have both grown throughout the years. There were a lot of numbers, dates, ages, and facts thrown around. While that can be a good thing we want to maintain the readers attention and this article got me bored very quickly. The set up was very much like an interview and while I want to get my facts out with some times and dates I want to maintain my readers attention a part of this article which will not be seen in my interview.
