Gudied Response 2 for 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 blind side on the field is a lot different than my last interpretation of the title.  The Blind Side on the field seems that you will never know what you are going to be up against that day or at that moment on the field.  Many surprises are in store for you on a football, such as defenses and offense.  Also, you have to run the plays that the coaches want.

     In our life and in Michael's life this are very similar, because Michael never knows what is going to be thrown at him.  He knew he lived in a bad neighborhood, but never knew that it would lead to this.  Many surprises are in store for you in real life just like the football field because Michael had no idea that he would go from the ghetto to a very wealthy family.  Lastly, like running plays in a football game things are expected of you and in our life and Michales life things are also expected of us as well.

The Blind Side

By: Michael Lewis

     The beginning of the novel it talks about the real football season and gets you into the real football mood.  I did not mind that the author did this because the novel is a pretty good length.  I know that this novel is not just a football story but has a great amount of a story to tell.  As the story went on, my emotions went from being in a football mood to a more alert and engaged mood as the story got more interesting.  As I am reading I tend to wonder to myself about what happened to Michael Ohers parents.  I then turn the pages and then the author answered my questions, so I feel that the author answered all my questions about the text and story that I have had so far.  All of the words the author uses I can understand and are used in the right way so the reader can understand what is going on.  The author has done a great job with details in writing this story.  I have enjoyed reading it so far and I hope it stays this smooth for me all through out this novel.
