Tuesdays With Morrie Reaction
I thought that Tuesdays With Morrie was a very interesting book. It was written by Mitch Albom who was a former student of Morrie. Morrie was dignosed with the disease known as ALS. Morrie had a very busy career as a sports journalist. He had first heard of Morrie's illness when he saw him being interviewed on an episode of nightline. Mitch feels guilty for not keeping his promise to Morrie to keep in touch after graduation. Regardless Morrie is thrilled to see Mitch and they start discussing things about death. Mitch takes notes during each visit so that he could someday write a book about his beloved Teacher.
I really enjoyed reading Tuesdays With Morrie. It was really easy getting to know Morrie and Mitch. I really enjoyed the conversations that they both had together because the topics were interesting and something i hadnt really thought about indepth before. *SPOILERS* When Morrie died at the end of the book I felt sad for Mitch because I too have lost someone that was close to me. When my Grandparents passed away it was a very difficult time for me. I was really close to them and it was difficult not having them around. I thought that Mitch's idea to write a book in rememberance of Morrie was a great way for people to remember him. Even after death Morrie will continue to teach people and have an influence on the people reading Mitch's book.
