Michelle Obama did a good job of choosing anecdotes that speak specifically to the demographic that makes up the bulk of the American public. She began her speech referencing her father, a blue-collar worker with disabilities that fought through adversity and still managed to succeed and help her along the way. She connected with the working class, assuring them that the American dream still exists as long as the people are willing to fight “for the world as it should be.” She styled her words with the theme of the campaign, hope, giving an optimistic outlook for the future of the nation, especially for children by saying that they can go as far as the “reach of their dreams.”
Michelle clearly stated that there were needs in the country that have to be dealt with, such as ending the war in Iraq, building a stable and prosperous economy, developing an affordable health care system, and ensuring the greater education of every child from preschool to college. Lastly, she established a value system between her, Barack, and the American people. She spoke of dignity and respect in your actions and your words, and she implored the nation to realize the importance of every individual contribution to the country through service.
