Blind Side Theme

Danny Loehr

One of the themes of the Blind Side is helping. Leigh Anne was feeling down for Michael and knew he didn't have many things and she wanted to take him out clothes shopping. So after she got off of work, she went to Briarcrest and picked up Michael. Michael also struggles in keeping his grades up in school so he gets a lot of help with test by people reading it out loud to him and learning in class is also a struggle even though he knows the material, he doesn't know how to express himself in a classroom setting. "What did you have for lunch today?" Sean asked. "In the cafeteria," said the kid. "I didn't ask where you ate," said Sean. "I asked what you ate." "Had a few things," said the kid. Sure you did, thought Sean. He asked if he needed any money for lunch, and Mike said, "I don't need any money." The next day, Sean went to the Briarcrest accounting department and arranged for Michael Oher to have a standing charge card at the lunch checkout counter" (Lewis 66).
