This signifies Michelle Obama's upcoming and her devotion to being able to piano with such excellence in order to show her aunt what a star student she is.]]> 2023-03-16 15:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519633790 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519641118 Reading through the test excerpt about Michelle Obama, it gives off a kind of frightening yet confident tone. Michelle talks about Robbie, her piano instructor/great-aunt and how she expected the best out of everyone who played her piano. There was some sort of "scariness to her". Robbie gave off an authoritative state whilst doing nothing. Knowing this, Michelle wanted to "win over" or "conquer" her, giving off this feeling of wanting to prove that she is the best.]]> 2023-03-16 15:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519641118 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519643605 I think the rest of the memoir is going to talk about Michelle Obama's upcoming and her succession as a woman. It'll probably talk about her work and what she did in order to get where she currently is.]]> 2023-03-16 15:56:29 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519643605 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519646125 The main topic of this memoir is about a young Michelle Obama and her determination to learn how to play the piano. ]]> 2023-03-16 15:58:11 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519646125 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519665111 "I knew in that instant that it wasn’t me, Malala, speaking; my voice was the voice of so many others who wanted to speak but couldn’t" 

This metaphor expresses how Malala Yousafzai doesn't think only for herself but for any women who are not able to speak for themselves. She looks past herself and acknowledges the many others who are in her spot or even worse. This shows that even though she is also apart of the women who are being attacked, she makes it not about herself but for the many others who are in need.

Finally when it was all just a daydream, it became reality and she was able to make a difference. It really shows that it doesn't matter the upbringings, everyone can make their dreams into reality ]]> 2023-03-16 16:16:42 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519674073 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519674893 The memoir covers the idea of Michelle Obama being fearless.

This shows that Malala Yousafzai isnt only speaking for herself but shes speaking for many others that are inspired by her speech. "planting seeds all over the earth" represents the people that are acknowleding the importance of this particular event that advocates the importance of education, specifically girls. ]]> 2023-03-16 16:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519675262 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519677576 I think the memoir will cover more of her childhood and what pushed her to finally stand up and make a change for the reality of women everywhere.

This pushed Malala to speak up on the topic]]> 2023-03-16 16:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519679691 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519680313 "It was the territorial line between where the right hand and the left hand traveler, between the treble and the bass clefs."

This metaphor can signify the difficulty that Michelle Obama had to face when learning piano. It describes how the Middle C key is like a territorial line which can be infer as being hard. It demonstrated how devoted Michelle Obama to learn and excel in piano at such a young age. ]]> 2023-03-16 16:21:21 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519680313 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519682941 Obama describes her instructor, "She sat straight spined in an upholstered high-back armchair, tapping out the beat with one finger, her head cocked as she listened keenly for each mistake."

You’re staring at an expanse of black and white that stretches farther than two small arms can reach." 

This signifies how impossible it looked for Michelle Obama, but she was still able to learn the piano because she didn't let her feelings-- fear and anxiety, stop her from learning what she wanted to learn.]]> 2023-03-16 16:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519690140 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519691067 Throughout the excerpt Michelle Obama creates an unsettling yet inspirational tone. At the beginning of the excerpt, she can be seen talking about her desire to become one of the best piano students to show off. In the middle, she creates an unsettling tone through describing Robbie which can be seen as obstacle she has to overcome or "conquer" in order to learn piano. At the same time, this can be inspirational as it shows how determined Michelle Obama was to learn. ]]> 2023-03-16 16:28:58 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519691067 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519691080 The tone that is being created during Malala Yousafzai speech is inspirational
"We are afraid of no one, and we will continue our education. This is our dream."  She made everyone's dreams become a reality and made a difference for women and for their education. She showed them the importance of not being afraid but being prideful to spread a message of peace and education. "And I knew in that instant that it wasn't me, Malala, speaking; my voice was the voice of so many others who wanted to speak but couldn't." She let her voice shine so that many others can shine too. ]]> 2023-03-16 16:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519691080 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519695790 "And I knew in that instant that
it wasn’t me, Malala, speaking; my voice was the voice of so many others who wanted to speak but couldn’t."

This illustrates how Malala Yousafzai thinks for other women who are incapable to speak out for themselves. She recognizes that there are many other women who used to be in her spot, portraying how she speaks for everyone.]]> 2023-03-16 16:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519695790 https://padlet.com/denise_tyler/pbklver0yae6ubjr/wish/2519697081 From this short excerpt I want to infer that the rest of the memoir will be about Michelle Obama's upcoming and how she had to face many difficulties growing up. It would highlight the instances where she failed yet also show how she overcame those obstacles.
