How Did Mitch Albom's Tuesdays With Morrie Impact Me

Today I read books like no tomorrow and I learn quite a lot from them. I never knew books could reflect your life or even share experiences that other people might feel or have been through. It all began in high school, my second year of school and my class was beginning a new book called Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. After reading the book, I learned it is explicit in its warnings and moral lessons aimed at the present. I could not care less about the world but after reading Fahrenheit 451, I became more aware of the world now. Another book that inspired me to read more was called Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, learning about how we should not forget the fundamentals of what makes human a human. These kinds of books impacted my life to

Tuesdays with Morrie is an inspirational book that helps open many people's’ mind and perspective of the world and themselves. Throughout this essay you’ll see the comparisons of my life and thoughts contrasted with a few of the discussions Morrie had with Mitch on their Tuesdays. Some of the discussions I could personally and deeply connect with, but the others I couldn’t as much. Every Tuesday discussion Morrie had with Mitch had a meaning and purpose behind it. Emotions, culture, and family are the main Tuesday discussion i’ll be focused on.

Many things happen in the world, and some of them create internal conflicts. In Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, the author is conflicted not getting in contact with his former teacher sooner. In Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank has issues. Mitch Albom and Anne Frank have differences in what they learn from their conflicts.

Many people learn many things in many different ways. Most learn in school or church, some learn in asking questions, but I believe the best lessons are taught from a good friend. Tuesdays With Morrie is a true story of the remarkable lessons taught by a dying professor, Morrie Schwartz, to his pupil, Mitch Albom. Morrie teaches Mitch the lessons of life, lessons such as death, fear, aging, greed, marriage, family, society, forgiveness, and a meaningful life. This is a story of a special bond of friendship that was lost for many years, but never forgotten and simply picked up again at a crucial time of both Morrie's and Mitch's lives.

For me, that series was the Junie B. Jones series by Barbara Parks. Not only was the book funny, but also full of life lessons to learn from. Appreciating the “little things” in life is one of the ways this book has impacted me. Sometimes we constantly are looking at the larger picture of life and not taking the time to appreciate the small deeds people do for others. Junie B. Jones has also impacted me by always staying true to myself. No matter how many times she acted different or stood out in a crowd, she embraced herself, therefore; she was not going to change for anyone and that is a great quality to have in

This isn’t technically a book that I read when I was in the properly defined age group, but looking back at this book it is probably the book that has had the largest impact on my life, and had it been out when I was younger would have been a book that I would have read. I read this book after I had finished reading Tuesdays with Morie by the same author. Now I have read a lot of books in my life and I can’t think of one that has had a more profound affect on me than The Five People you Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom.

Everything Morrie has to say about life, love, compassion, etc: was very beneficial to me. I think one reason for this was the fact that I love “quotes”. Morrie had so many breathtaking things to say that made me see life differently, and Mitch made Morrie speak through this book in a way that makes it hard to believe that he is actually

Mitch Albom was enrolled in a class that took place within his professor, Morrie's, house that taught him about the meaning of life. The class was one that was quite unique as it was taught by Morrie based on his life experiences and didn't require textbooks to aquire knowledge. Mitch would ask questions about life including topics of love, family, getting old, being apart of the community, work, forgiveness and death to his proffesor Morrie. Sometimes Morrie would pose questions to Mitch for him to answer. In essence, this class provided Mitch with the most important knowledge that one could take in, appreciate and apply to their own life. Occasionally within this class Mitch would have to help Morrie with simple tasks because he could no longer do things such as adjusting his head so that he was comfortable, getting in and out of his chair and putting his glasses on. For this class, there was only one student, and that student was Mitch and he was required to

Mitch Albom’s novel Tuesdays with Morrie delves into the complexities of the human condition from the stand point of an elderly man that is slowly dying from the disease ALS, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The man, Morrie, decides to spend the last of his time on earth spreading his wisdom to as many people as possible, teaching them a lot about the importance of life, as well as what is necessary to live life to the fullest and be truly happy. What Morrie teaches these people is something great poets have been doing for a very long time. In the novel Tuesdays with Morrie, Mitch Albom expresses themes and ideas in everyday life that relate back to poetry and can be applied to one’s perspective of the human condition.

I have read numerous books in my lifetime. From picture books to books with over 60 chapters. I have read a couple series. But no book or series has had a blow to me like Mitch Albom’s Tuesdays With Morrie. The approach Morrie had towards life indeed had an effect on me.

Morrie teaches that family is important in life. He thinks that not only should people show love to their family, but they should support them and look out for them. When he was young, his mother passed away and it made him realize how important family is. “This is the part of what a family is about, not just love but letting others know

There are some great aphorism that Morrie makes but one of my favorites are “I don’t allow myself any more self-pity than that. A little each morning, a few tears, and that’s all…. It’s horrible to watch my body slowly wilt away to nothing. But it’s also wonderful because of all the time I get to say goodbye.” (57) Even though Morrie is on his death bed and literary watching himself decay away and die, he his happy he gets to see people longer and know how he gets to die unlike a lot of people who don’t know what is wrong with them and one day just die. He could lay in bed and cry all day and no one will say anything because that is his right, but he only gives himself a tiny bit of self- pity, only a few tears and demands to get out of bed so he can start off his day in a great mood.

Morrie’s Inspiration and Influence In the book Tuesdays With Morrie Mitch Albom talks to the reader about his college professor. A person who has inspired him to make good life choices and become a better person. Morrie was a man who devoted his life to helping others and putting them before himself.

Morrie and Charlie have a lot of things in common with each other. One reason why Morrie and Charlie are similar is that they both have jobs that are similar. Charlie's job is working at a factory. Morrie's job was teaching college students as a university teacher before the ALS got really bad. The ALS affected his teaching job by it being difficult for him to work with the ALS making him difficult to walk. The jobs are similar because they're both jobs. I'm surprised Charlie has a job. I'm surprised he has a job because he's not very intelligent. Another reason Morrie and Charlie are similar is there both determined. One way Charlie is determined is by wanting to be much smarter than he is. One way Morrie is determined is by being happy about

“I leaned in and kissed him closely, my face against his, whiskers on whiskers, skin on skin, holding it there, longer than normal, in case it gave him even a split second of pleasure” from Mitch Albom’s novel, Tuesdays with Morrie (2007). Facing death and the unknown, Morrie talks with his pupil, Mitch, about his (Morrie’s) path through ageing and then, to death. An inspiring novel of a former professor and sharing his perspectives with a younger, man’s heart softening with the professor’s words of wisdom. Discussing ageing and what it means, fearing ageing, developing a fulfilled life, death and the meaning thereof, fearing death, and obtaining a positive attitude about an inevitable life event, are all important aspects to communicate with others.
