The major characters in the book are Danny and his coach Joe and His dad John and a minor one would be his mom Jill. Danny is a basketball player and is the main point of this book because he inspires to play college basketball and he travels all around the world to live that dream. Joe is the top rated coach in the Chicago he has sent 5 players to the NBA and is now Danny's coach for the summer. His mom and dad are not really big characters other than they travel with him and support him with the little money they have in the bank.

The plot of this book is a run down gym in chicago and a kid trying to make it to the big time stage and the trials and errors he goes through and the worn down body and his family life, the struggles he faces as he looks to find it to his dream will he make it?

I give this book a 4 it was a great book for me to read this year but it had its down time which was dull but mainly it was a great read and recommend it to people my age that are interested in basketball and stories of basketball.

Next book im gunna read is Heaven is for real it seems like a great read for me it is being read by Morgan Christenson I am a church person and this type of book is something neat to read about. Over all it was the best book I saw out of our class that really hit home and looked like something I would enjoy reading soon.

I think wikispaces is a great thing for our age and im glad you taught us how to use it :)

 * This book is about a young kid who has dreams of being in the NBA some day, he goes around with his travel team and plays in many tournaments and he hopes to get seen by a big college. so far I have only gotten to where he gets out of school for the summer and is about to join his basketball team for a practice.

March 4,2011 Final Blog:

Characters: Plot:
 * Michael Oher is the main character of this book he is the football star who is getting colleges to look at him and a lot of hype for the NFL also. He grew up poor without a dad and his mom was a drug addict. Steven his friend took him in as one of his own.
 * Steven is another minor character in this story of a kid growing up from nothing and becoming a star. Steven is Michael's best friend from childhood and once his life got really bad he had his dad adopt him as one of his own.
 * Jacob Michael's new younger brother helps him train for football and to become a great offensive linemen even though he gets on michael's nerves a lot he still helps him out a bunch.
 * Stephanie is another minor character in this book she at first really doesn't like Michael cause he is black and its really weird for her but she tries to act better then everyone else but eventually comes around and accepts michael as her new brother.

The plot of this book is in a small town in Alabama where a kid facing poverty is given the chance to play football and too go to school and be a normal kid again thanks to his friends dad he gets in too a christian school and does pretty good there he then gets a big chance to play football for the school and is recognized for his talents by LSU and Texas as the season comes to an end he has too sign with the college he wants to go too.

Rating: I give this book a 5 for a rating because it shows that no matter who you are you can do something with your life you have too just set your mind to it and believe in yourself even through the rough times of life and poverty and when you get that chance don't let it go by.

Reactions: I like and plan on reading Mario Gonzales book "Nothing to loose" it really caught my own with the cover and the characters sound amazing in it I also love suspense books it keeps me on the edge of my seat and i enjoy that about a book.

1. My reading is going very well so far, michael has really become a great lineman a lot of scouts are looking at him and coming to his house for visits which is really exciting cause thats every athletes dream is to go to division 1 football or basketball or whatever sport. a. The plot is in a small town with a private school and a big football team. The characters are Michael Oher which is a big black kid over 250 pounds and then sandra bullock plays the mom in this and she is little and very smart. The other characters are people like Les Miles the LSU football coach. b. The best part of this book so far is how michael is becoming a 5 star athlete and is getting a chance to play football. c. The worst part of this book is when it describes what michael's life used to be like its really sad.
