Unit 2 Lessons in life Tuesdays with Morrie Despite being a sports journalist with a successful career ahead of him, Mitch Albom fells that there is something missing from his life. This all changes when he is reunited with his favourite college professor, Morrie Schwartz. On discovering that Morrie is being weakened by a severe illness, Mitch starts visiting him at his house on Tuesdays. The weekly conversations between Mitch and Morrie result in a series of lessons on the meaning of life and how best to live it. Arthur K This book is abut dying, but it is not pessimistic. Indeed, it was a pleasant surprise to find that this book is filled joy and hope. Morrie’s bravery towards the end of his life is inspirational and has made me value my own life more. In fact, far from being a book about death, it;s a book about life. As Morrie says, “Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.” As Morrie anticipates his own death, he observes everything as though through new eyes - the things around him seem more beautiful than ever before and hold new meanings. From his window, he watches each season change, knowing it could be his last. This encourages us to appreciate what we have, and to make the most of each day. Amy Wang I think this book should be on all school reading lists. After finishing it, I feel I have been given a deeper insight into the world and can see things from a different point of view. On the 11th Tuesday, Morrie explains that “...the big things - how we think, what we value - those you must choose yourself. You can’t let anyone - or any society - determine those for you”. While we are living, we tend to get distracted by unimportant things, such as gathering material possessions. I think it’s important for young people to know that making a lot of money won’t always make them happy, or that looking different doesn’t make a person abnormal! It’s up to us to find out what is important in our lives and establish our own values. Morrie says that most people “seem half-asleep”, even when they doing things they think are important. Reading this book made me feel as if I’d been woken up from a long sleep and finally opened my eyes to the world! Marty Despite its widespread recognition, my first impression was that Tuesdays with Morrie is just made up of a collection of over-emotional thoughts and messages, many of which are repeated. But thinking back, it did teach me a lesson or two. The book made me stop and think about how much I am influenced by popular culture and the importance of creating my own values based on love and open communication. Although it isn’t my favourite book. I’d still recommend that people read it - after all, it is something that’s a bit different! Vivian Warning!A box of tissues will be needed to get through this book! Morrie’s reflections on love and friendship made mw think about my life and all the good friends that I’ve lost touch with along the way. It made me realise just how much I miss them. I guess that’s one of the lessons of the book - always keep in touch with the good people you meet as you go through life. Like Mitvh, Morrie makes you aware that you want to die feeling that you have lived life to the full, knowing that you are loved and have loved others as much as you could. As Morrie’s favourite poet Auden said, “Love each other or perish.” $$
