"The Blind Side"

Last Tuesday we watched å movie in class called "The blind side". The movie is based on the true story of Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Michael Oher. Michael, a.k.a. Big Mike, is practically homeless when he meets Leigh Anne Tuohy and her familly. Leigh Anne finds him walking the streets in the rain, and she invites him into their home for the night. Slowly, Michael starts becoming a part of the Tuohy family. SJ, the son in the familly, and Michael become good buddies. Leigh Anne goes to the school about Michael's academic performance, and is surprised to learn that even though he has scored low in almost every aspect, he scored in the 98th percentile in protective instincts. Her husband, Sean, talks to the school coach to get Michael enrolled in the football team. Michael performs exceptionally on the field and catches the eye of many college coaches from around the state. We did not get to see the whole movie that day, because it was too long. The last thing we saw was that Michael confronts Leigh Anne; he asks her if she only took him in so that he would play football for her alma mater. Michael goes back to his birth mother's apartment in the projects, where his old friends welcome him. It will be exiting to see how this goes, since Micheal's old friends and inviornment seem to have a negative impact on him. We will se the rest of the movie the upcomming Tueasday, where I also will update you on the end of the movie.
