I think this health crisis could get worse, but we haven’t faced this reality yet. Must of the people that haven’t experience being close to this illness don’t think that can get infected because it is on another continent. Still, the reality is that everyone is susceptible to it, so we all have to be aware.

Michel Obama
In this speech, Michel Obama appeals to different events of her life that led her to be where she is, for example, she shares her love story with Barack Obama because they came from humble families and their background shows how they worked hard to be where they are in actuality. On the other hand, she refers to his father that had multiple sclerosis. Without any government help, he had to continue working because he did not have access to a Health System capable of helping him for a low cost. Also, she mentions this to refer to the policies that her husband has in mind regarding health systems, as she said, low-income people, do not have equal access to high-cost medical treatments. Moreover, Like any other political speech, its purpose is to appeal to people’s feelings, so they understand the proposals and objectives of the upcoming government.

One of the things she repeats repetitively is to do what you like, and with passion, for her, his husband is an example of effort and passion, because he was able to structure companies and close millionaire deals. On the other hand, she refers to the apprehension and love that she and her husband have for this country because for them this is a place of opportunities and culture that will be enhanced with the government of Donal Trump, for them they don’t care about religion, the culture or any type of thought its bell is for the whole world and with equal access.
Relation
The relationship between these two political speeches is that regardless of who does it or shares it, they will want to appeal to people’s feelings through personal experiences that will allow them to effectively communicate a message that is related to their political bell.
