Blind Side

     I am doing the guided response for my new novel, the Blind Side.  The title Blind Side relates to this book, because I feel that he was in a blind situation by living in the ghetto and he did not know what he had in store for him.  I think that the "blind" means that when he turned his bad ways around he blew up and was a stud football player.  By the family letting him in their family really helped him turn his bad ways around and he changed for the better.  I think that Michael is a good person.  I think all he needed was "that chance" and that is what helped him get away from everything.  Letting his family get some of the fame once he got big was the right thing to do because they brought him up and straightened him up. It took courage to change his old ways.  Michaels family also had to be brave because I know it was probably hard to take someone in to their family.  Not only being just a stranger but, being African American had to change their thoughts about things as well.  Many people feel different about African Americans the white people.  They think that they are trouble.  These are all things I think about the characters and about the book so far.  Hopefully, I will continue to read and enjoy this book.
