Free Choice!!!

I am currently about to start reading the book The Blind Side by Michael Lewis. I can’t wait to read this book. Since I have seen the movie I can’t wait to see the difference between them. I hope the book is way more detail than the movie. The movie is one of my favorite movies. This book is mainly about a boy named Michael Oher who is one of thirteen children by a mother who was addicted to crack. Michael has no clue of who he is. But a family by the name of the Tuohy’s took him in as their own and raised him. He became a big football player after getting himself together while he was living with the Tuohy family. This book to me is going to be really interesting because in some cases a lot of athletes these days are raised up like this. The come from nothing and all of a sudden becomes something. I think that things like a bad past can influence you to want to do better in life. It makes you want to prove to the people that told you that you couldn’t be anything that you can actually become something in life. It makes some kids or children wonder can I actually become something in life since he did. Some athletes that were raised like that has become something are role models in some people life because if they did it it’s not any reason why anybody else can’t.

  1. You are definitely going to like the novel even better than the film just for the very reason you mentioned; it gives you tons more details. You will see even deeper into the characters. Will you picture them as the film actors? Will you naturally see Sandra Bullock as the mom? :)
