     The Blind side was an outstanding movie. It was about a kid named, Michael “Big Mike” Oher and how he and his brother were separated from their mother because she did drugs. They were sent to foster homes where Michael was separated from his brother. Michael lived with his friend Steven and they both went to a good Christian school. One night, Michael overheard Steven’s parents arguing about him staying at their house. So the following day Michael did not return to Steven’s house. A good Christian family saw him one night walking so they approached him and told him to come to their house for the night. The family had two kids, a boy and a girl; they both accepted Michael staying with them. Michael never did well in school but the family wanted Michael to play football for the school, but he needed a 2.5 GPA to play. Michael achieved the 2.5 by the help of a tutor and his new mother. The family legally adopted Michael. After Michael started playing for his school he didn’t know how to play his position, but he learned and he was really good. In the next week there were a lot of University coaches looking for him. Michael chooses to go to Ole Miss University; near the end Michael finds out that his new parents were boosters. That’s when they adopt you for your skill in anything, but Michael didn’t care because he had a new life, which he was happy with. It with the NFL Draft and Michael is drafted to the Baltimore Ravens. This was a good movie because you sometimes have to go through bad times in life to get to the better things in life.
