The Blind Side chapter 11

Summary: In chapter 11 the author reveals more about Michaels past and not his future or present. More about his childhood and his relationship he had with his mother and what happened to her. Michaels mother is also brought up in the book by meeting with Leigh Anne Touhy. Leigh Anne went out of her way to meet up with Michaels birth mother to find out what was really going on with Michael. She makes a big decision to do that just to find out what really happened to Michael through out his childhood and his past.Michael's birth mother also gave birth to multiple other children. She did drugs, drank a lot, slept with other men. She didn't really ever have her life together which is why she could never really raise Michael very well. He grew up in one of the poorest places in the United States Of America so she could never really provide for him and he was always surrounded by violence.

Michael Oher

What do you think Leigh Anne Tuohy's inspiration was to reach out to Michaels mother?: Leigh Anne Tuohy's inspiration to help Michael and learn more about his mother and his childhood was so she could help him more and understand Michael more. I think it would've taken a lot of confidence to do what she did which was to go out of her way to talk to his birth mother. I think it is very inspirational because it shows how much Leigh Anne Tuohy really cared for michael.

Review: My oppinion on chapter 11 is that I think it is good that the author revealed more about Michael's past then his present because it gives you more of an understanding of Michael and what he is like and why he is like that. It also explains more abour his mother and his mothers culture.
