Tuesdays with Morrie

11.R.2.2 Students can read fluently to comprehend grade-level text, I am reading the book Tuesdays with Morrie by: Mitch Albom

The story starts with an older man, Morrie, learning about the coming of death in his life. Morrie was a college professor in sociology and loved teaching the class. One of Morrie’s best students became great friends with him and this student in the later years of his life came back to see him in the days and months before his death. This student flies in about every Tuesday after they first meet and they talk about everything. Morrie talks about all the things going wrong with his body, and this student that works for the press and is telling him about the strike that they have going on right now so he is out of work.

I have loved this book so far and am going to keep reading it. I would repeat reading a book because I get to choose what I want to read and enjoy reading. I wouldn’t do anything differently right now because this book is super good.

As I continue to read on in this book it become more and more interesting. The depth of the conversation be come more in depth and detailed.

The Sixth Tuesday: The Talk About Emotions

Mitch comes to Morrie's house this Tuesday and brings more food because he wants to give Morrie something but already is giving him something, and the refrigerator is still full from the last week that he brought food. Just the present of Mitch being there is a gift to Morrie. When dealing with emotion if you don't let it go, then you will always be afraid of emotion Mitch says. On the other had Morrie says the opposite wash yourself with emotion and if fear gets inside of you then put on the same face you always do to make it through the day.

The Seventh Tuesday, We talk about the fear of aging

On the seventh tuesday, Mitch had learned that he had lost another ability, to wipe like his nose or in the bathroom. At this stage in Morrie's life he really didn't have any abilities beside eating and breathing. Morrie states that when you become old and can't really do anything that you feel like a child all over again because you have someone help dress you.
