Pages- 64

O.K. the setting of this story is based in a city around modern time. Most of the story so far has taken place in a school, Briarcrest Christain School. First Michael Oher lives in a poor part of time but then Big Tony, one of Michael's relatives, promised his mom he would get Michael a good Christian education. Then Michael is enrolled to go to Briarcrest and this is located in a good, rich part of the city. Michael isn't a very smart child and barely understands the material he's is required for in the tenth grade. But teachers had found a side of him that he really had understood the material and was able to get a barely passing grade for the semester. So Michael had started gaining momentum and learning the material require for him to play sports.

  1. It sounds like the setting plays a very important role in this novel - especially the rich/poor dimension.
