Practice Post

My summer reading book, The Blind Side, was really boring to me because I did not like all the statistics it gave. The book was more of a documentary than a novel or story. I was expecting a story and was very disappointed. The theme of this book is to do what is best for you. Michael Oher was at a time in his life when he was deciding on what college to attend. He was under the pressure of so many people with so many opinions. He needed to do what was best for him. In the end that is what he did. He decided to go to the University of Mississippi. “On February 1, 2005, Michael Oher held a press conference to announce where he intended to go to college. He faced a bank of microphones and explained how he’d decided to go to Ole Miss. To hear him talk, you’d have thought he’d descended from generations of Ole Miss Rebels”(Lewis 195).





This article accurately explains the main idea of the book as well as the author’s gift for storytelling

  4. TO ALL: I absolutley hated the book. It is nothing like the movie. The movie is based more on the actual story of Michael Oher's life while the book is more of a documentary.
