Morrie Quotes

I choose this quote because the problems from his past keep causing problems for his future if he doesn’t figure out how to work through them.

When people ponder death they wonder about the unknown with trepidation. As a young man, William Cullen Bryant wrote the "Thanatopsis." His thoughts progress from the fear of death to the acceptance of the event. People should not fear death because everyone dies and becomes a part of nature.

In particular, Morrie’s message was not to be engrossed with death and dying, but to live life to the fullest potential with the life that one has remained. Because life is short, there really isn’t any time to dwell onto the future, so just take life as it is and spend every second living without any regrets. In order to life live to the fullest, one would have to take every day as a blessing and not to be tortured with the hardships in life.

Finally, she is able to detect the lies of her father. Lies he tries concealing. As he once indirectly pushed her away, Mariam needed him to know how much damage he causes. She would not spare him of the injustice he has commit. It would be the first time she speaks against a man. “ ‘I’ll visit you’ he muttered.[. . .] ‘No. No,’ she said. ‘Don’t come. I won’t see you. Don't you come. I don't want to hear from you. Ever. Ever.’ ”(50). Mariam is an intelligent, outgoing girl, daring at times. She went as far as walking to the busy streets of Kabul to search for her father. With this, she wanted to leave him with a wounded heart. Like she felt when he refused to open the doors of his home. After the miserable ceremony, these traits withered away.

Ms. Luella Bates Washington Jones is her name. She is a very strong, influential, and kind. She works at a beauty shop. She is large and carries a large purse containing everything she needs in it everywhere she goes. When she was walking down the street, a boy named Roger came behind her and tried to snatch her purse. The bag was too heavy, therefore he lost his balance and fell down. In page 1, paragraph 1, lines 3-5, the author states "...a boy ran up behind her and tried to snatch her purse. The strap broke with the single tug the boy gave it from behind. But the boy's weight and the weight of the purse combined caused him to lose his balance so, instead of taking off full blast as he had hoped, the boy fell...". Ms. Luella then took him to her house to teach him a lesson. Her accent suggests that she's African-American.

Imagine living in a world with no change : same clothing, same weather every day, same haircut, same birthday as everyone else, and you don’t get to pick your job or spouse. How would that feel? Well, that's the point this society doesn’t feel. Jonas is the main character of the book The Giver by Lois Lowry and he lives in a utopia community. Jonas knows no different though, he was born into this society, but one day, everything changes for Jonas. Jonas changes throughout The Giver and as a result, tries to change the Community.

Morrie often expresses how he isn't afraid of aging. He sees aging as growth and something that is apart of life. Morrie isn't the type to dread or complain about things happening. He lives in the moment. he likes to experiment. There's a better approach to look at death and that's to be prepared. This can help get you more interested or involved in life while living. before Morrie's was sick he never really thought about death. No oen believes there going to die but its reality. Facing death helps you see things better, and differently. He says "learn how to die and you will learn how to live." This shows how he chose to see life and not everyone will agree. Some like to have joy thinking there going to live forever but as you get older there

“Each day means a new twenty-four hours. Each day means everything's possible again. You live in the moment, you die in the moment, you take it all one day at a time.”

In life, we all go through arduous times to complete a mission or goal. Well, here are three individuals who went through it all. Meg Murry was a girl who never gave up, even in the hardest times. Like her, Aengus was a very determined man who wanted to find the girl of his dreams. The other character, Sam McGee, was a man who wanted to be cremated by his friend because of the invincible cold. However, all three were very different, but they all wanted to find one that was lost or get something done for themselves.

“I was beginning to learn that your life is a story told about you, not one that you tell.”

This quote sticks out to me because it's from the point of view of Death, the narrator, and actually shows he has some sick, but intelligent way of showing sympathy to corpses. It’s sickening to think that Death appears during happy measures, then takes the souls. I also think this quote shows some true aspects because if someone knows they are about to die they want to appreciate their family for being there for them and loving them and that how happiness is spread until their heart gives out.

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.” (Mark Twain). This quote from the famous American writer is the basis for what became one of the hardest ideas to comprehend, death. Death has always been a complex term, causing one to struggle with what the true definition is. It is also hard to wrap your mind around what does it truly mean to die. These are the questions we long for the answer. Whether we acknowledge it or not, death has always been feared by many. Death remains an impossible question, one that has been unexplained since beginning of time. Even though dying is a natural, we as a human race still fear it. What can be done to defeat this never-ending battle? According to Montaigne’s “To Philosophize is to Learn to Die” and Cory Taylor’s “Questions for Me About Dying” we can overcome this by living to the fullest, living with no regrets, living a legacy, and lastly not fearing the inevitable. If you want to conquer the question of life, live in the moment.
