The Blind Side Chapters 1-4

Summary: In chapters one through four in The Blind side by Michael Lewis it slowly starts to explain about the game of football and how its played and the positions and the importance of each placement in the game. It only starts to talk about the main Character later in the book around chapter 3. So far the book isn't just a story it is also teaching the reader about the actual game of football. When "Big Mike" the main character starts going to school at the christian school full of white rich kids he feels very out of place.

     

Review:So far I think the book is interesting because it doesn't just talk about the story of The Blind Side, but it also talks a lot about the game of football which is a big part of the book.

Questions: 

• Why does the main character not come into the book until around chapter 3?
• Why did "Big Mike" feel so out of place when he first started going to school?
• Why do people call Michael the main character "Big Mike"?
• Why is Big Mike's mother in rehab?
• Where is Big Mike's Dad?
• Why did Big Mike's father leave Michael?
• How is this like a new beginning to Michael?
