Early Years: Write what you have learned about the person’s early years. How did these childhood experiences influence the person’s achievements as an adult?

Oprah had a very bad chidhood. Her mother left her with her poor grandma. Her grandma was so poor that some of Oprah's clothes were made out of patoeto sacks. Oprah went to the church every Sunday and the preast was always amazed in her excitment in church. When Oprah was only 9 years old she was raped. Later on in life she was malsted by both her Uncle and Cousin. At 14 Oprah was pregant but sadly her baby died the next day. Oprah loved I'm mean loved making speaches and talking to people about their problems. That is what probaly made Oprah do what she does.

She also had alot of problems when she was a little girl and now she is helping others face their own problems. Also she helps charitys by donating money. If you did not know Oprah built an orranige for the girls in Africa. So she has had alot of accomplishments.

Describe the goals of this person. Do you think this person was successful? Why or why not? What factors influenced this person’s achievements?

Oprah did not have alot of goals besides making the world a better place. Personaily I think that Oprah is a very successful women because she takes what she has and works with it. She had a poor beggining and now she wants to start over and have a new beggining. She also wants to show her grandma that she raised her well. Oprah's fantisy was probably to become a talk show host. She is a people person after all.

What influence did this person have on the community, or the world?

The community Oprah grew up in was very bad,dirty, and poor. Now Oprah wants to help other communities make their towns better. Hopefully the towns will not turn out like the one she grew up in. Now the towns are better places for kids to grow up in. We can thank Oprah for that. She loves to see the good, clean and fun towns in America.

What is your opinion of this person’s life and accomplishments?

I think that Oprah is a fine women. She barley had a dallor in the beggining and now she's worth billions. She earned the living she has now. She did not just earn it, she deserves it!!! I think that she accomplished so much in the years in her lifes.

Would you recommend this biography to others? Why, or why not?

I deffinatley would because everyone should know how hard Oprah's life was. They also need to know how much she cares about people. That's not the only thing she cares about she also cares about the earth, charitys, and the enviorment. I also enjoyed reading this book becuase it tells you that people that other people don't have alot and that later on in their lives the could have every thing. So others should deffinately read this story about Oprah Winfrey!!!!
