“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and let it come in” (Albom 52). Morrie and taught Mitch and others a better way to live life. In the memoir Tuesdays with Morrie, Morrie teaches to live life through accepting death, loving family and showing love to others.

Knowing that you are going to die creates appreciation. Morrie started to appreciate more people, things, and time. More than he had ever appreciated before. Reading the book led me to believe that you do not have to be dying to appreciate the greater things in life. After reading

He believes that society today has been set up to believe that material things are among the most important things in life, when in reality, money and material things are not that important. “We’ve got a form of brainwashing going on in our country. More money is good… The average person is so fogged up by all of this, he has no perspective on what's really important anymore” (Albom 124). I think that the world, especially America, values money way too much. When I really think about it, the times I have been the happiest is when I am having a good time with people, not when I have a stack of cash sitting at my house. When I was younger, I would be asked all the time what kind of house. When I was younger, I would be asked all the time what kind of house I wanted to live in. I would always describe a mansion with a ball pit and five swimming pools. In middle school, my parents and teachers started asking about what kind of job I wanted and I would tell whatever job would pay me the most. For Christmas, I would ask for all these material things. All my life I have strived for nice material things because I believed that was something important in life. I realize now that all those things do not really matter if Morrie could live happily without all those new

Morrie’s ideal day was not a day on the beach in Hawaii, but a day with his family. Tuesdays with Morrie is a very interesting book and a very valuable piece of writing. It tells a true story which we can learn greatly from. Lessons expressed in this book include the importance of love and relationships, accepting what we are able to do and what we are not, learning to forgive ourselves and to forgive others, and the fact that it is never too late to start

You can sense emotion in the present, but when you look to the past your emotions become uncontrollable. Mitch Albom, in Tuesdays with Morrie uses this emotion to make the reader see themselves sitting next to Morrie. In the story a old college professor named more is diagnosed with ALS, he meets up with one of his old students named Mitch and teaches his final lesson; preparation for death. Album demonstrates how the use of a person's timeline is a very effective way to tell a story that has a significant message.

In Tuesday's with Morrie, Morrie is a former professor who taught at a college in Brandies, Massachusetts. He is diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease and has a short amount of time to live. Mitch Albom a former student who favored Morrie as a professor took almost all of his sociology classes. One day he watched a television interview with Morrie on it. Mitch promised to stay in touch with Morrie but hasn’t. Mitch feels that his life is missing something. Mitch and Morrie reconnect and they start having deep conversations about life, love, happiness, death, and more. Morrie had a profound influence on Mitch’s life in his college life. Mrs. Hejlik had a profound influence on my life, so I interviewed her to get to know more about her life.

In the crazy world, we live in today it happens all too often that we do not take the time to appreciate what is right in front of us. Negative prejudices and ageist arrogances among caregivers, toward older people are more notable in the health care system (Omisakin, Onakoya, Ojong-Alasia, & Adeyanju, 2016). The purpose of this paper is to describe a reaction that occurred after reviewing Tuesdays with Morrie. I would describe in detail my response in addition to feelings about this book. Next I will describe my thoughts about older adults suffering from touch deprivation. My feelings about if Morrie suffered from this deprivation along with two possibilities that our society positively or negatively contributed to this will be addressed.

Morrie expresses that people reside in constant states of change, when one considers this fact, then death is yet another change within this cycle, rather than an end it becomes a beginning. Mitch experiences this through his mentor, Morrie, by listening to Morrie, he is able to reinvent himself. Mitch moves from being wrapped up in the day to day of monetary gain, material comfort and starts “smelling the roses as it were”, because on many levels he has recaptured the passion he felt in his early

When you get a poor grade on an assignment, what do you think about? Most students would think about their grades dropping instead of thinking about how they didn't learn the material as much as they should have. Students only think about the grades they are getting, not if they are actually learning the material. Morrie Schwartz from Tuesdays With Morrie, by Mitch Albom, would think differently. Morrie would say that grades are mean nothing, cause unnecessary stress, and don't help others. He would say that you should be the best you can be and you should do the best you can do. Don't worry about what society votes it.

By meeting with his former professor, Mitch Albom is able to take a look in on his life and learn things that took Morrie years to learn. Overall I thought that Tuesdays with Morrie was a great and interesting novel. Out of all the lessons taught to Mitch by Morrie, my favorite would have to be that you should look at life in a unique

Morrie got everything that we all do every day taken away from him. He couldn’t walk, eat without help or do anything we all consider average things to do on an everyday basis. Morrie had always appreciated the little things in short time he had. He was overjoyed that he still had got to chew his food for a short period of time. He savored every visit with Mitch and enjoyed his last few classes with his students. Most people take these things for granted. No person would ever think that they would completely loose their ability to move, nor would a person think that their time is only limited by months. That’s why everyone should take time and enjoy the small things. Rather it be a visit from a faraway relative or a half-eaten bag of Takis. Those things won’t last forever, mainly the bag of Takis. Appreciate what you have. Nothing lasts
