words, the same way it scatters flower pollen in the spring, planting seeds all over the earth."

In this metaphor, Malala Yousafzai emphasizes that her winds would be carried across through the media and spread to the many people listening. The pollen (words) she spread would be scattered all over the earth. ]]> 2023-03-16 19:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2519899499 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2519902798 In the memoir "just Mercy" a metaphor used is "I went though the mound of records until I found the transcripts from Walter McMillans trial".

"We are afraid of no one, and we will continue our education. This is our dream." She expresses her dedication to helping girls all over the world want to fight for their themselves. She proves to any girls reading that it is worth it to not only stand up for themselves, but to fight alongside others in the same situation. ]]> 2023-03-16 19:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2519905265 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2519906071 In the memoir "Just Mercy" the tone that is created from the author's descriptions is sad and bitter and evidence of this is "I met with five desperate condemned men" and "his lips began to quiver, and he clenched his fists to stop himself from crying".]]> 2023-03-16 19:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2519906071 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2519907292 I believe that the rest of the memoir will explain more of her(Malala Yousafzai) background and how her life led up to where she is now.

In the memoir "Becoming" by Michelle Obama a metaphor that is used is...
"The keys on Robbie’s piano had a subtle unevenness of color and
shapes, places where bits of the ivory had broken off over time, leaving
them looking like a set of bad teeth." 
This metaphor is significant because it shows a transition of doing something new. What this means is that Obama believed that the keys on the piano looked plain and it looked overused and shes used "a settle of bad teeth"to demonstrate this.]]> 2023-03-16 19:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2519922302 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2519926758 In the memoir "Becoming" by Michelle Obama, she uses an eager tone to showcase her trying to learn the piano.

This isn't just created by Stevenson's actions, with "trying frantically to keep up with", but also the displays of emotions from the inmates. The inmate he focuses on, Walter McMillian, continues to add onto this stress with his emotional response. His shaking of the hand and the subsequent description of Stevenson's emotional repression, with "my instinct was to comfort him", makes the audience feel the tenseness that he felt at the time.]]> 2023-03-16 19:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2519941222 TopKeeper https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2519942826 Malala - "Microphones made me feel as if I were speaking to the whole world. I had talked to only local TV stations and newspapers, but, still, I felt as if the wind would carry my words, the same way it scatters flower pollen in the spring,
planting seeds all over the earth."

In this metaphor, Malala is drawing a connection from microphones and TV to flower pollen being spread by the wind. This is significant because this is her platform. Malala has a platform to speak out and find her justice. And as pollen spreading to the wind, her message through a microphone, the TV spreads her message.

words, the same way it scatters flower pollen in the spring, planting seeds all over the earth."

In this metaphor, Malala Yousafzai asserts her idea that the all her beliefs would be carried by the wind and would travel to all over the place and be heard by many, in which she explains that the pollen would be scattered and she would be planting seeds, in which the seeds are her beliefs.]]> 2023-03-16 20:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2519955070 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2519959085 "His voice was level but laced
with emotion." - As Stevenson listens to McMillian's plea for help, emphasizing the feelings McMillian expresses to him makes the situation feel heavier. It shows that both of them want to get justice and are willing to give the information needed to reach this goal, but are still human. This empathy, mixed with the injustice of the justice system towards poor people of color, led to Stevenson putting his time and energy towards finding McMillain mercy, making it his most important case. ]]> 2023-03-16 20:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2519959085 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2519959760 Uwiringiyimana is able to create a sort of mournful tone since she explains how she sort of misses her home that she left at 2 years old.

Sandra Uwiringiyimana the metaphor stated is.. "it looks like the most idyllic place on earth, with lush, leafy mountaintops scraping the clouds and miles and miles of green." She uses this phrase to signify the glorified image she has of her hometown to emphasize the contrast of that place after the Congo War.

This is significant because it shows how she was willing to learn something new and challenging. Her devotion and determination made us show that trying something new or different didn't stop her from learning. Michelle Obama is an excellent example of great enthusiasm of learning new things. ]]> 2023-03-16 20:21:34 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2519962807 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2519962983 I believe the rest of the book will touch on her parents relationship and their life before fleeing the Democratic Republic of Congo before the First Congo War.

In her excerpt "I am Malala", Malala Yousafzai uses the metaphor "With all this chaos swirling about, I would escape into the bathroom and look in the mirror" to describe the chaos and commotion going on around her, and how she uses her speeches to escape this chaos. When she uses her words, Yousafzai feels she is able to not only speak for herself, but for many others whom she represents. This gives her power and strengh, which is contrary to how she feels when she is in the chaos. ]]> 2023-03-17 00:57:26 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2520165022 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/7nohvurtcw763vq2/wish/2520168476 In the excerpt, Malala Yousafzai creates a tone of inspiration and determination. She makes it clear that she is determined to fight for womens education and rights, and says that "we are afraid of no one, and we will continue our education".
