Heat-main character characteristics

Michael Arroyo is a 12-year-old boy with big dreams, especially for a poor Cuban refugee. He dreams of pitching in the Little League World Series and ultimately of playing in the major leagues like El Grande, his hero and fellow Cuban immigrant. 

Micheal arroyo is a very brave kid for his age and what he has go through just to play baseball and be there for his family

Heat summary

Heat is based on a fourteen year old's life in hiding. Michael Arroyo is adjusting to life without his dad, who died in May. Life without a dad is hard because you have to live with the grief, the worry, and the stress; you also have to live without the care having a dad brings. He has to hide from “official persons” such as police, children services people, etc., because if they find out that he and his brother are living alone, then they will be sent back to Cuba or separated.

Readers will most likely be unable to set the book down once they get started. This book will keep readers on the edge of their seat, and they will wonder about what will happen to Michael Arroyo and his brother Carlos.

Beginning Heat

Now I am reading a book called "heat" by Mike lupica . It starts off with micheal that lives in the hard streets of the Bronx in New York. In the first chapter micheal was at a New York Yankee game and he saw some guy steal a women's purse and he stopped him by throwing his heater with a Baseball at him and he fell and the cops took him to jail.

I think micheal arroyo knows that he has a gift of a really fast fast ball and he needs to use that for playing baseball for his team to show what he has to make his team go far.

Plot blind side

Michael Oher was living on the streets when he was welcomed into the home of a conservative suburban family, but over time he matured into a talented athlete. As the NFL draft approaches, fans and sports radio personalities alike speculate that Oher will be the hottest pick of the year. 

I think the the plot in the book it was really well written too. In the whole book there was suspense every page of the book  there were a lot of surprises of what the characters decide on doing. It's probably one of my favorite books to read.

Blind side Sean tuhey

In the book Sean tuhey (the new father of micheal oher) was a really nice guy in the book he shows a lot of things like being humble and  he shows a lot of care to people especially to micheal oher to share his wealth

Sean Tuhey did a lot of for micheal oher, he payed his tuition on for his hich school and college tuition he also  took care of him when he had no food home or any one just to look after him. The whole family impacted his whole life to become successful

Blind side Micheal oher

In the book, The Blind Side, Michael Oher’s character experiences many changes. Throughout the film, he grows from a shy, uneducated boy into a young man who belongs to a family. The film begins with Oher as a homeless youth struggling to find a place to sleep. It progresses with Oher’s future.

Micheal oher is a very strong and courageous chararater in the story this makes the novel more surprising and just a really good book to read it makes me want to flip page over and over

Reflection

 

My blog that shows my best work is my post on ‘The Blind Side’ by Michael Lewis. This blog shows the summary and main points of the book, along with my opinion on it. The link to this post is http://nicreinertsensreadingblog.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-blind-side.html

 

 

 

Next trimester I want to get better at work completion and become less of a procrastinator. I will spend more time reading instead of just staring at the page and will put effort into blogging. To achieve these goals I will focus mainly on work needed to be done and try not to work ahead.

Blind Side

The book I just finished was "The Blind Side" by Michael Lewis. This story is by far one of my favorite books of all time. The reason I love this story is it is so inspiring and shows how anything can be achieved through dedication. The Blind Side is a true example of hard work, and dignity.

 

A kid with a dream but almost no chance at success overcomes the impossible. Michael Oher grew up in a bad place with no parents. What seemed impossible turned to a reality when "Big Mike" was adopted and raised by a great family. Through the ups and the downs, this man-child overcame his struggles. After putting in hard work Michael found his way to the top and was recruited by the University of Mississippi. Now Michael Oher, the kid who went through hell and back is playing professional football for the Baltimore Ravens.

Seventeen year old micheal oher, an extremely large, physically imposing black youth, grew up in the projects in Memphis. He no longer lives with his drug addicted mother, but is in foster care when he isn't running away to sleep wherever else he can find.

Now he lives with his uncle for awile and his uncle is a machanic and hes trying to get him into a very hich class christian school which is called  Briarcrest Christian School with his size alot of coaches at that school were looking at him and saying basically we need him to go to our school.

Summer Reading Reflection

                The book I chose to read for my summer reading project was “One Shot at Forever” by Chris Ballard. This book was about the “Macon Ironmen” who achieved a so called miracle season under their new head coach. The Ironmen led by new coach Lynn Sweet, pulled off through an unbelievable journey and made it to the state championship. The best thing about this journey is how close one town can get through sports.
