I'm reading the book The Blind Side by Michael Lewis. I have read a little over half the book and it's getting really interesting. When a family sees Big Mike walking in the streets late at night the wife, Leigh Anne, invites him to come home and sleep on their couch because she knew he was going to sleep in a random place around town. This family happens to be really into sports and after they find out he's doing football, even the little 11 year old boy, helps him with his strategy of the game and conditioning to prepare. The family eventually takes Mike in and trusts him with everything.

      This is very strange for a christian family to do and Leigh Anne is treated poorly by her friends about her decision but i think this makes her want to call Mike her own so they legally adopt Big Mike. I really like this book and it's getting hard to put down because a lot is going on with the friends, family, and classmates of the kids and how they now have a black living with them.

       I still think the theme is about finding it in yourself and figuring out your life alone. No one can make your decisions. Yours is going to be the best one no matter what people tell you. Follow your heart. I think the author also wanted the reader to think about how you treat others. People are people and you should treat every one of them how you would want to be treated.

       I still like Michael the best in the book because he is battle through some crazy things and he stays strong through it all and continues to think of others before himself and it get him so far in life and he's an all around better person and he can honestly say that about himself.

      Another favorite quote of mine is "Don't worry where I am. I'll tell you when I get there." I think this means that Michael knows he's not where he wants to be yet and he's kind of ashamed of it but he knows he's going to find a way to the place he feels he should be and when he gets there everyones gonna know about it.
