"Blind Side"

Last English class we saw a movie called "Blind Side". In the film we meet a 17 year old homeless boy named Michael Oher. He has gone through his life living in various foster families. Every time he establishes himself in the new family, he runs away, until he meets the Tuohy family. The mother of the family, Leigh Anne, includes him in their warmth and he stays there for a long period of time. She also adopts him. Due to Michael's enourmous stature and incredible strength, he becomes a professional American Football player. Because of his athletic ability and grade improvements Michael receives numerous scholarship propositions. His entire foster family has enrolled in the University of Mississippi and it is expected of Michael to do it as well. The NCAA starts to investigate the case and tells him that they believe the Tuohy included him in their family just because they saw his potential in sports and wanted him to represent their family in the University of Mississippi. Michael feels extremely disappointed when hearing this and flees once again. The movie ends with Michael choosing another university and returning to his foster family.
