A Meaningful Life Journey With Morrie

This was another novel that I had been wanting to read for a long time, and I was glad to have an excuse to buy and read it.

In the perfect world, people would have a life manual in which people had life’s lessons on what dos and not dos. Luckily, there are novels written by people that explain their problems and what they could have done differently if they had a chance. One of those books is “Tuesdays with Morrie: an old man, a young man, and life’s greatest lesson.”, Mitchell Albom displays the importance of nonverbal communication, how to maintain relationships and “life’s greatest lessons” that are received from advising others in their problems.

I really enjoyed the book because I love reading very interesting and right at the

I was not really into reading at the time, but I remember that my teacher made us read for at least fifteen minutes at the beginning of every class. If we did not have a book there were many books from her library to choose from. I believe this was one of the first books that I read in her class, and think I chose this book in particular because it stood out. I mean the title itself already piqued my interest. I honestly did not think that I was going to enjoy it as much as I did, It was such a bizarre read with all the strange events and abnormal characters. And in a weird way, the strangeness of the story was what I really liked. I do not think I would have liked it as much if it was not for that. It was one of the first chapter books that I did not have to force myself to finish. This was also one of the first books I read that really got me into loving to read. I just loved getting lost in another world and I wanted to keep reading books that did that for me.

Although my interest was lost in certain parts of the book, it did teach me a lot about being successful

I did actually really like this book. I was not sure if I was going to enjoy it when the project was first assigned, but after reading for a while, I became really interested

For the most part, the novel was very enjoyable. One aspect of it that I loved was that the storyline was extremely intense, which always compelled me to find out what would happen next. For example,

When you are unable to function without aid of someone you feel lifeless. Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, Morrie a retired psychology professor from Brandis University is dying from ALS. A student Mitch is back for his final lesson from his old teacher. This lessons topic is the meaning of life. When faced with his known fate Morrie refused to stay in bed and was very active. He said “When you’re in bed you’re dead.”(Albom 131). I had a life experience where I was very sick and I realized his meaning of lifelessness and your dependency on others.

The book starts out strong and extremely informational, slows down extremely in the middle chapters and ends in theory, which is somewhat thought provoking.

The book made me feel really engrossed until the very end. I was starting to get bored with Caleb being the new protagonist. I loved when Adam was the protagonist and he was against

I walked straight out of that bar and headed for the airport; Oxford had accepted me on full scholarship, and it was time to go. As I approached the airport the almost intolerable roar of the planes jetting off the runway filled my already burning ears.

Personally, I did like the book. I’m not normally a reader but, this book was very intriguing and had a lot of interesting turns to it, it kept me wanting to know the end. I, at first, didn’t want to read the book, and was going to pick the smallest book I could find, but after reading about the story behind this author and the book itself I went out and picked it up an haven’t stopped reading it since. It starts kind of slow

In the short story “Gryphon” by Charles Baxter, it starts out with Mr. Hibler, a boy named Tommy and his 4th grade class’ teacher, getting sick and needing Miss Ferenczi as a substitute. Miss Ferenczi basically abandons the lesson plan and just talks and talks about very interesting things in place of having class, even going so far as to bringing in a tarot pack to tell the class’ fortunes on the last day. Though Tommy liked Miss Ferenczi, other classmates were upset with her, so she then gets fired and the class spends the afternoon with Mrs. Mantei’s class for science.

Overall, this was one of the most interesting books I have read in a very long time. Every

Michael Carmody entered the classroom for the second day, with a sense of anticipation, rather than with any nervousness as he had the prior day, where he’d first met the students he’d been given the responsibility to guide to GCSE Literature and Success for the remainder of the year. Not that Michael wasn’t qualified, or confident in his ability to teach the subjects – he’d . It was just that teaching in a classroom full-time was to be completely different than on the sports fields, and in the gymnasium, where he usually plied his trade, where rowdiness was to be expected, and even at times encouraged. but since Mr Edwards had gone down with an illness during the half-term break, and wasn’t expected to return to the next full year, Michael had been co-opted conduct his classes.
