The Blind Side
The story I Decided to read was the "The Blind Side" by Michael Lewis which was based on a true story. This book is based on around how a white family adopts a homeless black kid and treats him like there own and the young man goes on to play football. Micheal no longer lived with his crackhead mom and had to begin a new life. He gets accepted into a private school and ends up having a 0.6 gpa. His teachers think he cant be teached and think he is just dumb except his science teacher Mrs. Boswell who think he learns differnt. He had an interest in football considering his size and how big he was. He ended up being recruited by a major college football program and became an NFL prospect. As he lived in a new enviornment he comes up on challanges and faces them only being a teen. As for his grades he had got a tutor and came to find out he was a student athlete. The story becomes an emotional roller coaster and has its ups and downs through the family. At the end of Michal's high school career he finds out who he is and what his is ment to be.

Yo Ryan this book is actually a very good story... have you seen the movie yet? I highly suggest you watch it what a great story it is.
ReplyDeleteI like this summary because it's shorter than the other ones. I've only recently watched the movie and I was shocked from the ending. This story is truly inspiring.
ReplyDeleteHaving seen the movie and already knowing of the story I enjoyed this review. I would definitely like to read the book to know more in depth. Such an uplifting story.
ReplyDeleteMany people have told me to read this book and watch the movie and have yet to do so. After reading your review, I think I might just have to read it to get a better understanding.
