NY 'Times Article'

Washington Monument
That's one tall woman.
By Sam Anderson

In the article Anderson speaks on the height of first lady Michelle Obama. He states how her height has been debated for months. But, with that Anderson states how Mrs. Obama carries herself in a positive an well rounded manner. Michelle may be tall but she is able to still work what she wear with her height intacked. Anderson compares Mrs. Obama to previous first ladies like Eleanor Roosevelt. He states how she stood about 7foot with her boots on.But, he really displays information when he states how in ancient Egyptian statuary height was coordinated precisely with social status. This was proven correct with how positive Michelle is not because she is our first lady but because she is a positive woman in general.

Application: if Michelle was not as talk as she is do you think that people would talk about her as much without them knowing how positive she is or about her being an African-American?

Clarification: Soo is her height really important to what we think of her? Why do we realy focus on that?
