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.

I think the author wrote this to tell kids everywhere that if you stay in school and join a sports team, you can escape all the mistreatment and pain you might of had as a kid. A lot of michaels old siblings and friends died because they dropped out and joined gangs and got into drugs. If they stayed in school and found something they can do at school, they're lives could've been very similar to Michaels and they would have lived a lot longer.

One of the main charecters in The Blind Side is lianne tuohy. She is the wealthy woman  who thought about taking Michael in for a day, but ended up adopting him.  She found him on the side of a road one night and took him in for the night to keep him out of the cold. She ended up seeing him as a person instead of just some street kid so instead of putting him back on the streets she took him in a few more nights and ended up adopting him. She went from remorseful to his lifestyle too loving him as a son.

Michael Oher is a very big man. He is about 6'5 and weighs over 300 pounds. Growing up he was always called big mike because of his size. But it was not till high school that he started playing sports and really getting to show what he could do. In many lines in the story teachers of his recalled that he could hardly fit in the doorway due to his massive shoulders and overall size. He was also made fun of and seen as an outcast because of his size compared to everyone else at his high school.
