I just read Dead or Alive by Tom Clancy. It was about a soldier who killed sleeping Taliban soldiers and was being investigated for murder by the president. He was looking for the #1 most wanted man in the world. While that was happening another team was looking for the Emir (#1 most wanted man in the world) and they found him. While that was happening an old president ran and won the election so the soldier was released and ended up killing the Emir. So in the end everything turned out like it was supposed to.

The theme in The Blind Side is that there are a lot of people who need help and not nearly enough people trying to help them out. It is created through the Touhey family adopting Michael Oher and realizing there are a lot of kids who need their help. It is redefined at the end when Mrs. Touhey wants to open a shelter for poor kids without parents that can take care of them. She says, " If we open a shelter for kids like Michael then maybe we can help solve the endless cycle of poverty." This shows that through adopting Michael they learned that they were given great things but now they must start to learn to give back.

My article is about how the book is inspiring and how the book takes a kid from the streets and puts him in the NFL. It is also about the main idea of the book and a brief summary.
