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
Is the book any different from the movie?
ReplyDeleteIs the book like the movie? The movie was awesome and I'm considereing about reading the book.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering how this book is different than the movie? I've seen the movie, and I'm wondering who or what is different.
ReplyDeleteTO 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.
