Michael Did Write The “White Walls” Essay

During the movie, a teacher reads an essay aloud that Michael wrote. Michael did write the essay in real life during his senior year of high school. It reads, “I look and I see white everywhere: white walls, white floors, and a lot of white people…. The teachers are not aware that I have no idea of anything they are talking about. I do not want to listen to anyone, especially the teachers. They are giving homework and expecting me to do the problems on my own. I’ve never done homework in my life. I go to the bathroom, look in the mirror, and say, “This is not Mike Oher. I want to get out of this place.”
