The Blind Side- Michael Lewis

The theme of The Blind Side is to never give up. This is the theme because Michael never gave up on the football field or in the classroom despite his learning disabilities. He always looked for help if he was having trouble with something. 
“ So often given the benefit of doubts, Michael Oher now set out to confirm the wisdom of the people who showed so much faith in him.”
(Pg. 286 Lewis)
"Never give up" not only for Michael but also for the Tuohy family because Leigh Anne Tuohy was determined to make sure Michael had a nice home to live in, have new clothes, plenty of food and water to survive, and most importantly a family to love and care for.

    I liked how you applied this to the whole family. I've seen the movie and really want to read the book.
