In the book. “tuesdays with Morrie. ” Mitch writes about his relationship with Morrie. an old college professor of Mitch’s. The two reunite after several old ages because Mitch learns of Morrie’s terminal ALS diagnosing. besides known as the Lou Gehrig’s disease. Mitch decides that something is losing in his ain life. so he challenges himself to put aside every Tuesday for sing Morrie. During those visits. Mitch becomes cognizant that he takes on the pupil position and starts to larn from Morrie. Mitch besides refers to his every Tuesday trials. as “a last category. ”

Mitch truly believes he needs to be at that place for Morrie’s last category. Mitch learns a batch about life in the interim. He taught Mitch how to populate and love without being scared to show his feelings. Two large things you want to cognize how to make in life. Without loving anyone. would be rather cheerless and lonely. On page 20 eight and 20 nine. it shows how Mitch truly felt about Morrie. This was his first Tuesday visit with Morrie. it became evident that Morrie was deceasing and that he did non hold long to populate.

So. his manner to state him adieu was to remain with him every Tuesday. and have their usual negotiations and learning Sessionss. I could state a sudden alteration of Mitch’s attitude after a few Sessionss of the last category. Mitch was besides willing to hear what it was like to cognize that person was deceasing. but at the same clip truly what it was like to populate like you were deceasing. Morrie had merely swallowed his pills and said. ” Shall I tell you what it’s like? ” ( pg 29 ) I think it truly meant something to Mitch after hearing this. because everyone is scared to decease. and they don’t like speaking about the topic at all.

Morrie knew he had to settle down though. one time he was diagnosed. I think for the most portion he made the remainder of his short life he had fantastic. He explained his disease with the category stating. “My friends. I assume you are all here for the Social Psychology category. I have been learning this class for 20 old ages. and this is the first clip I can state there is a hazard in taking it. because I have a fatal unwellness. I may non populate to complete the semester. ” “If you feel this is a job. I understand if you wish to drop the class. ”

He so smiled and that was the terminal of his secret. ( pg 9 ) I think this is besides a really strong point in the book even though it was in the beginning. because all of the childs are notified there will be merely that semester of category if he lives. Before these quotation marks. Morrie had besides explained how he ne’er sat down in his chair and that twenty-four hours he told them about the ALS he had sat down. This seemed to floor. Mitch cognizing that a good cat he was sharing a relationship with was deceasing right at that place in forepart of his ain eyes.

Mitch besides describes how he changed his life in the terminal. He said. “ I look back at the individual I was before I rediscovered my old professor. I want to speak to that individual. I want to look at him and state him what to look out for. I want to state him to be more unfastened. to disregard the enticement of advertised values. to pay attending when your loved 1s are talking. as if it were the last clip you might hear them. ( 190 )

In shutting. the book took on several life lessons that were taught to Mitch. by his longtime wise man. Morrie as his organic structure easy faded from being. The book was about the “last class” that Morrie would learn Mitch about non being afraid to love and touch the people that touch mean something in his life. To allow travel of fright and desire to accomplish celebrity at all costs. because in the terminal. people you love most are what truly matter. This book was a journey and jubilation of life more than a book about decease and sorrow. Morrie’s concluding fate ended up salvaging Mitch’s life and his concluding lesson of larning to populate was achieved by Mitch through their Tuesday visits.
