Blind Side Theme

Author: Michael Lewis

    This book is called the Blind Side. This book has a lot of segregation and racism and things like that. 

When Leigh Anne and Shawn gave Michael Oher a home Because he has been bouncing around houses but they didn’t let him stay long but they did. They put him in school and in football and they treated him like actual family. They lived in Memphis, Tennessee. One time, the first time Leigh Anna brought Michael to A school basketball game and they went and sat down and a lot of the white people in the crowd started yelling at Michael and saying he`s a bad person and started calling him a bunch of swears and people were calling him the “N” word and they were telling him to leave and never come back.  And its not just going on at the basketball game.

       I think the people are racist because they were calling him the “N” word whenever they saw him and that’s why I think some of the people there are racist

   People would tell Leigh Anna to get rid of Michael and why is he with you and they would say bad stuff about him, but Leigh Anna and Shawn would always stick up for him.

     
   When he was at school some of the kids would call him names, when he went to sporting events, stores and all that kind of stuff they would always say mean stuff to him and he never deserves it.

     Another story that relates with The Blind Side is Black and white. It`s mainly about racism and segregation.

What Michael Oher did was take all that bad stuff that everyone would say to him in and make it a motivation for him, so then whenever someone said mean things to him he would get angry and he would play with all intensity, anger and power.
