Tuesdays with Morrie


This book is based on a true story. Professor Morrie, who was Mitch’s favorite professor of all time has developed some sort of disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease where it results in progressive muscle atrophy that starts in the limbs. This disease made the moving man to be still, after some time Morrie couldn’t move some parts of his body. After some months, Morrie’s life was to end. After seeing that his friend didn’t get to hear all the nice things that people said in hi
s funeral, Morrie arranged a living funeral for himself. At Mitch’s graduation, Mitch has promised Morrie that he will keep in touch with Morrie, but Mitch has broken that promise. Mitch who wanted to become a pianist has abandoned that aim and became a sport journalist, which made him become a workaholic; he never takes time to enjoy life. During this time, Mitch met Janine, where both fall in love. While Mitch was just randomly changing channels Mitch saw someone whom he has never seen before; Morrie, Morrie was giving an interview for a show. This made Mitch to remember the classes that Mitch had with Morrie. Seeing, the interview made Mitch to go where Morrie lived, finally getting some time for something else other than for his job. At the reunion, Mitch and Morrie eat lunch together, Mitch keeps on remember back to some of time with Morrie in school and Morrie talks about life philosophies. After that Mitch go backs to Detroit and thinks of how his life, how he is chasing the wrong things life such as athletes and money rather than love. Since Mitch’s union is on a strike, Mitch pays another visit to Morrie on a Tuesday. They meet outside of a class and talk, Mitch felt comfortable and shares some of his problem, and Morrie gives some pointers on life. These visits continued, every Tuesday Mitch would come and visit Morrie and talk, which helped Morrie and Mitch. At time, Mitch brought Janine too. Once Janine (who is a singer) sang to Morrie, which made Morrie to cry. So, the visits continued, and Morrie and Mitch became like a father and a son. Mitch recorded each of his meeting with Morrie to write a book.

I will recommend this book for everyone to read. It is a really a good book. Its kind of sad at some points.
