                This week I read two biography books both of them about Michelle Obama. First, I read the book which was written by Deborah Hopkinson. It was very simple book .The main information in this book is that Michelle born in 1964. She grew up in small apartment in Southside of Chicago. She has one brother older than her. His name is Craig. Although, her parents hadn’t been to challenge, she graduated from Harvard Law School. In 1989, she met Barack Obama at firm for law and married him in 1992. She and he work together to encourage each other. Finally, they achieved their aims.

In sum, they changed American history.  Second book was written by Joanne Mattern. In this book the author gave more details about Michelle’s life. For example, her father was hard worker even though he had Multiple Sclerosis disease.   Due of that She learned from her father courage. Another detail is about her words in the Democratic National Convention. She talked about children’s future. Because she is mother, she thatched American’s heart. Also, the author described that how Obama became famous. On the other words, he described an important speech for Obama in the Democratic National Convention. Also, this book gave information about Michelle now. In Short, nothing is impossible in this life if you have aim and faith. The Example is Michelle Obama.

Referent:

              The first book was not enough for me to know Michelle’s personality. Also, it didn’t talk about her hero.   On the other worlds, it didn’t describe the source of Michelle’s ambition .Due of that, I read another book about Michelle Obama. This book showed the important things in Michelle’s personality. For example, she love to work volunteer to help her community and poor people. Also, it showed the source of her ambition such as her father, her thesis in the university and her job at Public Allies.
