afterreading-----the blind side The protagonist is a poor African-American boy named Michael Oher. He had an impoverished upbringing, because his mother had drug issue. When he got the chance to go to high school, he also met the turning point of his life- he was adopted by a rich and kind family- the Tuohy family. Michael was really strong and has thick thins, which were good for him to be an American football player. With the help of Tuohy family, he finally made it- he was not only enrolled in a university, but also became a successful American football player. I didn’t know it was based on a real story until I began looking for more information on line after watching it. Some people critics why such a “simple” movie won a great prize. As far as I can see, this movie was worth it. There is no doubt that the movie tells us that love can make difference. And most of us may notice that the love of the Tuohy family. But, at first I want to say is the love of Michael-his love for himself. If Michael had a drug problem just like his mother, he wouldn’t go to a high school or even think of it; if Michael had a violent problem, he wouldn’t get along well with his classmates or with the Tuohy family, and if Michael had a bad personality, maybe the Tuohy family would only keep him for just one night. And if these all happened, there would not be Michael Oher, to whom we show our respect. So what made the difference here? It was definitely because of love – Michael was a good boy and he really loved himself. He loved himself, so he kept away from drugs, from violence, from any other bad habits and besides those, he never blamed his mother or gave her up, even she didn’t really took care of him. And Michael also used his own love to show to others that there did is something called Family in his heart. However, if there was just this good Michael, the whole amazing story still wouldn’t happen. I’d like to say, the Tuohy family did play an irreplaceable role. If I were Michael and I were in that mass situation, I wish I could meet the Tuohy family. They were like the light in Michael’s life, leading him a way to be a better man. I can say that it was because of the Tuohy family that Michael could taste the warm of a family. They treated him as a family member at the beginning. Together spent they the Thanksgiving Day; together beard they disapproval from others; together tasted they the success at the end of story and together witnessed they the power of love.
