Mitch Albom's Proffesor Morrie

Many times in the book Mitch gets bullied and beat up. Well this time, Mitch does it back. After the football season is over, he travels to a football player's house, and really harms him. “Nobody from Philadelphia ever bothers him again,” (431). Mitch is fed up of getting picked on, so he finally let it all out and it worked. Although he beat up that guy in the end, he attempts it multiple times before. This time it doesn’t necessarily work. He decides to square up with a big linebacker. “The odds were one hundred to one against me,” (293). Even though the numbers weren’t in his favor, he still attempted revenge and wanted to get back and other people. That also proves that his mind is taken over and it is getting the best of

He had become dependent on others for nearly everything. Morrie's feeling on this was, "I felt a little ashamed, because our culture tells us we should be ashamed if we can't wipe our own behind. But then I figured, forget what the culture says." It's like going back to being a child again, it's inside all of us, and it's just remembering how to enjoy it.

A reason why he changed himself to be part of the popular group is he changed what he wore. In the story the author stated “It’s a sad fact of life that the clothes a child wears and how he wears them often determine his rank in school society.” In the story mitch became unpopular because he wore yellow pants and shorts. Second, He only wants to be friends with the popular kids. In the story the author said “I must step forward now, or retreat forever to a life of bitter companions and three leaf clovers. This is how popularity can change

“Would he have done much differently? Selfishly, I wondered if I were in his shoes, would I be consumed with sad thoughts of all that I had missed? Would I regret the secrets I had kept hidden”(Albom 64). This quote is from Tuesdays with Morrie, It is talking about how the main character Mitch Albom puts himself in Morries Schwartz’s shoes. Morrie had a disease called Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a nervous system disease that weakens muscles and impact physical functions. Morrie is Mitch’s old college professor. They meet on tuesdays at Morrie's house to talk about his life lessons that he has learned over his lifespan. Morrie teaches people to live through loving what he has and cherishing it, by being able to open up to another in a

He responds by telling him that he would spend the day at home with his friends and discuss family issues followed by an evening walk and dinner. Mitch thought to him self, “It was so simple. So average. I was actually a little disappointed.”(Pg.176) This response shows that the things we own can never compare to the fond memories of loved ones that we hold on to. This conjecture brings Mitch to reminisce and eventually mend fences with his brother, Peter, who pushed him away because he was fighting cancer.

Morrie teaches Mitch about life and how to look at the positives of it. Morrie knows that he has to stay positive to teach Mitch about the importance of love, positivity, and faith.

Mitch has a very courteous and gregarious perspective on life. He basically believes that everyone deserves a chance. When he first meets Blanche, he begins to fall in love with her but soon after Stanley reveals the true Blanche to Mitch, he feels betrayed. At that point, his perspective changed because, he begins to become a little more like Stanley. An example of this is when he finds out and comes to meet Blanche and tells her

How he is both courageous and caring is because whenever Mitch is doing somethings that he isn’t supposed to do to uncover the story of Angle Marichal with his sports photographer, Kimi Yon, he will always take the blame. He will take the blame so Kimi doesn't get in trouble and lose her chance to be accepted into an ivy league school, to major in photography. Throughout the story Mitch is also very doubtful. Whenever he is doing something that takes time and effort. he is doubtful that it will not turn out as planned. Though, most of all, Mitch is motivated by knowing that he is just a little closer to uncovering Angel's story. Even if that means he only found out something minor or if he really did find critical

This quote gives me the best idea of how Mitch grew with time since college. He is distant and he is missing the world by not doing the thing that truly fulfills him. I also didn’t even know that Mitch had a wife until later in the book. Mitch and his wife are kind of like Guy and his wife in Fahrenheit 451: they were in love once, but over time they just became two people living together.

It was a fine, summer, Saturday when everything changed for a young teenager named Miller Frederick. School had already started for Miller and he was at a new school. That summer, his family had moved from Pensacola, Florida to Dewitt, Michigan so Miller didn’t have many friends. He lived in a very rural area so he didn’t have many neighbors he could hang out with. Miller had just gotten back from his first day at his new school and he became friends with another new kid from Germany. His name was Reginald Kleinhans. Surprisingly enough, they had a lot in common. They both loved basketball, horror movies, and writing.

Harold Mitchell or Mitch is the best friend and old war buddy of Stanley Kowalski, he is shown to have little confidence but a big heart. Mitch is a lost soul, he was in love to a girl who passed away. He’s been looking for a new romance ever since the audience first see him within the play, he wants to find love before his mother passes away. His actions to seduce Blanche were noble at first, but afterwards we see his selfish motivations

One of the first realizations Mitch has on life is that he has wasted his time attempting to become wealthy and spending money on materialistic things. An example is when they met on their third Tuesday, Morrie explains that “We’re so wrapped up in egotistical things...we’re involved in trillions of little acts that just keep going. So we don’t get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, Is this all? Is this all I want? Is something missing?” in order to prompt Mitch into believing that his life is full of egotistical choices that are not the key to having a fulfilling life (64-65). Instead,

He saw all of his old stoner friends going to jail too, he heard they also started to get killed because they took part in some gang activities. After Dylan’s freshman year, he finally straighten his life up and stopped smoking and doing anything bad anymore. He got his grades up at the end of the semester to straight B’s, he got very athletic during the summer and he joined the football team. He was a the Quarterback’s favorite wide receiver, mainly because they’ve gone together for so long. Andrew was the head Quarterback now and the dynamic duo made the Texas High School Football State Championship. The night before the game Andrew and Dylan slept together and Dylan couldn’t go to sleep because he was so nervous, he remembered how he came from having a addiction for weed into the state championship for football. “What you thinking about Dylan?” said Andrew. “Man I can’t get over how far we have came, from being the back-up of the team to leading us to a state championship or battling a addiction of weed.” “Yeah, it’s kind of crazy to think about isn't it. But we still have a championship to win and after that, we can relax and reflect on what we have done.” said Andrew as he shut off the last slither of light in the room. “Good night Andrew.”

Through most of his student career, Josh got straight A’s and never had any trouble getting through most classes. That was, until he was diagnosed with ADHD in his senior year at Blaine High School. Medication was prescribed to him and he took it daily, but still he had to deal with the occasional urge to get up and move about. If that wasn’t unpleasant enough, his sister passed away soon after and he was filled with thoughts of depression and in turn, headed to alcohol and drugs to fill the aching emptiness inside of him. All of these obstacles that had been gathered up made Josh believe that he was alone in life and that he’d never be able to be successful with all of these problems coming to assault him, but little did he know they would only make him stronger in the

The point of view was exclusively presented through Mitch. Mitch had the ability to communicate Morrie’s perception, how Mitch described himself, and how Mitch compared himself before and after Morrie’s death. Mitch described Morrie’s personality and how he had felt about things by describing most of his earlier experiences with Morrie and by describing his personality after Morrie had been diagnosed with ALS. Throughout the memoir, Mitch characterized his personality as being a person who “never [cried]” (51), “traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck, and… never… realized
