The World as it is, Just won't do.

Michelle Obama delivered an amazing speech at the Democratic National Convention in August of 2008. While her charm and beauty were natural, she used rhetorical strategies to enhance the arguments she made. The first medium of communication I noticed was the outfit she was wearing. The blue-green dress she wore announced style, class and femininity- all powerful characteristics. Her speech was addressed to mothers, workers and women- roles she plays in her life everyday. Her word choice and voice inflection supported the passion behind her cause and the love for her husband was obvious. She also discussed the American Dream and how incredible it is that a boy raised by a single mother in Hawaii could make it this far in a national election. She inspires me to continue to work hard for what I want because we are all blessed, "because of the hard work of others who came before us." Michelle Obama delivered an amazing speech by emulating the type of mother and wife all women want to be.
