    My reflection on the first chapter

    of Becoming by Michele Obama.

    She tries to take us on a tour of her childhood life in Chicago.


    She try to informs us about the United States’ political status
    at the end of the 1960s. With the Kennedys dead and Martin
    Luther King Jr being assassinated, the nation was in chaos.
    White families began migrated to the suburbs on the back of a
    promise of a better life, which in turn lead to increased racial
    segregation.
    In this chapter, she reveals the levels of racial segregation and
    disparities between the Chicago’s downtown and its south
    side and describes how she consciously observed the
    segregated housing projects and the migration of white
    families to the suburbs. Evidently, the Michele states that her
    grandfather hated not only the police but also mistrusted the
    whites. This led to him telling his children frightening stories to
    his children about what happens to black children that went
    into the wrong neighbourhood. The worlds disparities are also
    evident during Robbie’s piano recital at Roosevelt University.
    Michelle states that she had never seen a perfect piano in her
    life, since her experience of the piano emanated from Robbie’s
    little music room. The author uses her story in this chapter to
    introduce the readers to the complexity and richness of African
    American history, something that has hardly reached the
    international audience.
