Michael Oher wasn't brought up like the average kid. He was separated from his mother and all his siblings at a young age. His mother was a dug addict and his father wasn't in the picture. Michael Oher would go to a different house every once in a while and would wander back to his mother, no matter what state she was in with her addiction. Michael Oher is a great example of the high 5 principles, heart, change, learning, journey and allies.
Michael follows his heart for most of the decisions he has to make during the movie. An example of this is when he decides to become a part of the Tuohy family. The Tuohy's help Michael with a lot of things during the movie. They give him a place to stay and foot to eat. They even got him a tutor, Ms. Sue so he could improve his grades to get the football scholarship he deserved. Michael was amazing at football in his position, Left Tackle. He wouldn't have played it and been successful if he didn't make the decision to join the Tuohy family.
Michael has to face some change during his life that are good for him, Like going to Wingate Christian School. Michael isn't that smart and he hasn't got much of an education. Going to school and not knowing anyone or anything can be tough. Also some kids might judge him because of his size and his colour. Change isn't easy but he manages to pull through the bad times and get better grades in his classes and make new friends while playing football.
Learning new things was also tough for Michael, but I'm sure once he learned them, he was happy he did. An example of this is when he was learning football, he didn't know a lot at first but eventually it came naturally for him. Starting off he was messing up plays and letting guys by him to sac the quarterback, but that's the whole point of getting better, if you're already perfect there's no point in getting better. Michael imagined the football team as the Tuohy's and how he had to protect them. Eventually he became a brick wall, letting no one by him.
Michael faced lots of journeys throughout the movie with football, school, and the family. A big example of Journey for Michael is when he had to leave the Tuohy's and head off to college. The Tuohy family did a lot for Michael, and now it was time to start doing things on his own. He had to manage to keep his grades up and get better and better for football season if he wanted to be a star at Left Tackle without anyone telling him what to do.
Leigh Ann, Sean, SJ, Collins, Ms. Sue, teachers and football buddies are all examples of allies Michael had during the movie. A major ally that took a big part in Michael's life was Leigh Ann Tuohy. She was the one who picked Michael up in the first place, and supplied him with all the things he needed. She was his biggest supporter and helped him with almost everything throughout the movie. Without Leigh Ann, Michael probably wouldn't be where he is now
To conclude, Michael is the perfect example of the 5 high principles. Heart, when Michael decides to follow his heart and become part of the Tuohy family. Change, when Michael goes to Wingate Christian school to get a better education. Learning, Michael learns the sport of football and becomes very good at it. Journey, Michael leaves for college on his own. Lastly allies, all of Michael's friends and family throughout the movie that help him through life, especially Leigh Ann.
