The book QB1 by mike lupica is about a family of quarterbacks that play texas football in highschool and are known very well. In the Cullen family Troy Cullen is the dad of a few sons and they all have a legacy to live up to. Troy Cullen was a high school legend, collage star, and an NFL quarterback. With this being the case, his sons are expected to pick up where their dad left off.

In the state of texas football is a really big deal. and when older brother Wyatt wins the state championship and gets a full ride schoolarship to Texas university. Younger brother and high school freshman Jake Cullen is expected to be the 4 year starter for his high school. Jake has a problem though, he doesnt know if he wants to be a quarterback, so hes faced with a major decision, i cant wait to read further.

The book that I chose to read was QB1 by Mike Lupica. This book is about football which is a key hobby and passion of mine and I care about it a lot. Mike Lupica has written many sports books which is one of my favorite kinds of books, he makes them very detailed and enjoyable to read  an I like them a lot . All his other books I really enjoyed so I'm anticipating this one will be good too.

The work does not get to much into the debate of good vs. evil. But right and wrong is mentioned a few times. there are a lot of cases throughout the story where they are used. When the Tuohys take Michael and make him one of them is a good example of right. When Michael goes back to hurt village and lives amongst the thugs he once lived with, that is an example of wrong.

The theme that is most meaningful in my opinion is helping those who are down back up. Not just literally like in this picture though. The whole idea of this story was that the Tuohys helped lift up Michael when he was in a spot of extreme poverty and weakness. And he ends up to be extremely wealthy and looked out for and happy.

If I could have a conversation with Michael Oher, I would ask him so much about his childhood and all the hardships that he faced and later overcame. Like What was it like always changing schools, How did it feel to be drafted in the first round, and most of all how do you feel that football changed your life. Hes a role model a lot of people look at and myself included.

One of the real world problems reflected in this book is helping the less fortunate. The Tuohys found Michael Oher just roaming down the side of the road and they took him off the side of the road, gave him a home, helped him, gave him football. Michael Oher earns millions of dollars  Each year with the Baltimore Ravens and is a completely man than he was when he was 16. The Tuohys saved his life and gave him one of the best ones imaginable. And if people were to do this more often the world can be a better place.

Sean Tuohy is a very impressive person. He was born in poverty in New Orleans and worked his way up to one of the richest men in the nation. When he was younger he went to Ole Miss on a basketball scholarship. Standing at about 6`1 150 pounds people didn't think much of him but after he graduated he ended up with the SEC record in assists, which still stands today. He now owns 85 fast food restaurants, is the broadcaster for the Grizzles, and works for the Ole Miss sports analysis team.

Collins Tuohy becomes the sister of Michael Oher when he is adopted into the family. Like Michael she too was a student athlete winning the state title in Tennessee for pole vault. She was also a football cheerleader and became great friends with Michael after awhile of getting to know him. They both attended the university of Mississippi and Collins Tuohy later got a degree in sports broadcasting.
