Analysis

In this book the it explicitly says that Michael's adopted family has a lot of money.  The quote that I choose I about Michael's adopted father Sean Tuohy.  "Now, by the fall of 2002, he'd become, by just about every way they measured it in Memphis, a success. He'd been born again, and helped to create one of the fastest growing evangelical churches in Memphis, the grace evangelical church.  He married the Ole Miss cheerleader who, twenty-five years later, could still pass as an Ole Miss cheerleader.  He owned a chain of eighty-five Taco bells, KFCs, and long john silvers... If everything broke right, he might soon be worth as much as $50 million" (Lewis 65).  From this quote I can infer that because Michael's family has this much money that they can afford to give him all the tools that he needs to be successful academically and at football.
