essay 2

In this essay,  I will write about three characters of different stories. One story is about the Achilles Track Club Climbers  that is a group of handicapped people that practice sport wiht lots of enthusiasm.   Another  story is about the movie The Blind Side that tells the story of a young man called Michael Oher known as “Big Mike “ that was kicked out of his house because of family problems.  

In the story of Richard Van Ornum, he tells that when he was a kid, he always dreamt that he could fly.  Once he even fell off his bed until eventually he stopped having these dreams. He once fell form the kitchen’s lavatory and hurt his leg,( He hurt his leg because a car smashed his leg) he got a scar shaped as a eagle.   Through time he realized that people couldn’t fly. 

The Achilles Track Club  started beacuse a young ahtlete lost his leg in a car accident at the age of 24 and decided to keep running as this was his passion. Through  time this group became a group of climbers; and now  thousands of handicapped people are part of this group. They were people with normal lives that have had different accidents in life.

The movie The Blind Side is about a young man called Michael Oher and tells the story of his life and the family that adopted him. He had lots of problems in his childhood since his mom was a drug addict; he was taken out of his house. Michael was really good in sports; he studies in a school in which the coach had the intentions of getting him in the football team.

To conclude, these are different stories,  but they have something in common:   they are dreamers, the  Achilles Track Club  and The Blinde Side have in common that they like sports and they like what they do no matter what life challenges them with.  In the story of Richard Van Ornum,  he is a young man, a dreamer and he persevers even with the difficulty he has on his leg;  he believes that people have gifts in life and his gift is being a dreamer no matter the difficult tasks life gives him.
