Indledning
‘Becoming’ is Michelle Obama’s memoir, which she started writing back in March of 2017, after her time as the first lady of the United States had concluded.
As it often is in politics, Obama is a rather polarising character in the American political climate, both beloved and hated.
In this analysis, it will discuss her thoughts on her personal development, how the text is structured, as well as her language and who she hopes to reach in her text.

Uddrag
Something of note with the way Obama writes is her frequent use of contrast. How she’s both loved and hated, how she’s met both people of privilege and people of poverty.
She has a very clear bias towards those who are part of the lower class rather than the rich socialites. “I’ve been to fund-raisers in private homes that look more like art museums, [...].
I’ve visited families who lost everything in Hurricane Katrina and were tearful and grateful just to have a working refrigerator and stove.”
While in this quote, she does not say anything outright malicious about the rich people, there is a definite tonal shift as she starts to talk about the more humble workers.
