Love is Never Ending!

Authors Note: In this theme analysis piece, I have picked out the theme love. Many novels have many themes but in the book, "The Blind Side," by Michael Lewis, "love" just stuck out to me. You should be able to pick out good word choice and know that love is never ending!



One strong word is love, and people have many views of it. People interpret love in many ways, and have multiple meanings for it. Grandma's kisses to her grandchildren, a father teasing his kids, or spouses hugging one another, are all types of love, however that is not the type of love in the book “The Blind Side,” by Michael Lewis, tough love is. Not knowing where this boy came from, the mother teaches  him to love himself for who he is, not from what people judge him as.

Love is the main theme in this book because the family spreads it into the heart of Michael. Michael is a poor guy who has no home, and this family takes him in. Many families wouldn't take home a stranger, but with the love and support in this family, they trust and have enough love, to take him in. The book shows a lot of love, just by the way Michael feels in the book. Sean Tuohy said "We were wondering if you would like to be a part of this family," and Michael Oher responded,"I kinda thought I already was." Since Michael already thought that he was part of the family, and the family loved him so much that they wanted to adopt him, you can definitely see the love and the theme in this book. Love is something that you give or just happens, nothing that you force.

Even though Michael was now a part of the family, there are many other incidents of love shown through the book. Love is majorly shown as the respect for Michael changes. As they learn that Michael is a phenomenal football player they realize that loving him is just going to encourage him to be better and be stronger. When Michael realized what they have done for him just so that they could have fame, he realizes that their love has gotten him where he is now. The family comes back to each other, and their love have reunited. Now, they are a family. A family with lots of love to share.

This novel is very similar to Bethany Hamilton, and her story and movie called “Soul Surfer.” These two stories both have love as a theme because love plays an important part in the books. Bethany goes through a lot within her lifetime and each day she lives, love is surrounding her. Each day she goes surfing, her love for her hobby, is what makes her put her heart and soul into surfing. When her arm is amputated, her family shows love as a theme by caring for her and helping her get through her rough times. Finally when her arm heals, she surfs again; this is because of her dedication and love for surfing. She realized that with the lover she has surrounding her, and in her heart, nothing can stop her.

There are many reason why love is a theme in the book “The Blind Side,” for multiple reasons. Along with the battles of not knowing what is coming around the corner and not knowing where Michaels mom is, he knows that he has people that love and care for him- a true family.

Whimsical Winter Wonderland!

Authors Note: In this piece, you should be able to pick out some descriptive words. This piece is about winter, and what I think represents winter. In my opinion, I think that there are many things in the world going on, and this is the busiest time of the year!

Winter is something you can see, feel, and almost taste. The sight of winter is something people either love or hate, usually never an in between. People say they can sense winter, but in reality, you can’t until the season has officially appeared. When winter arrives, you can most definitely tell when snow starts to fall. Most often, it is when the temperature drops dramatically, to such in the forties and even lower. When snow falls, you can see it glimmer in the air. Dropping one by one, each different and unique. Some kids like to catch the glistening snowflakes as they fall on their tongues and eat them. Another thing kids like to do, is make snowmen, play in the snow, and ski. Skiing is a very popular sport, people use their talent and is even a very ambitious sport to enjoy. As little kids, making snow angels is a way for them to experience winter, without being a drap, plus its a way to get energy out!

During winter there are many different religions being celebrated throughout the year, one being Christmas. Many kids and their families celebrate Christmas. At this holiday, they are many presents being gifted and memories being made. Something else that represents holidays and winter in many ways is eating. Lots of people tend to each excessively over the winter. People and adults don’t really like to eat  exercise because it isn't the nicest outside. With the holidays coming, there are lots of sweet treats and junk food being consumed, which means more food, more weight. There are many other things that represent winter too! Not just bad things. Winter is a time of year to enjoy what you have, stay warm inside, and be with your family!
