Morrie Aphorism Analysis

Improved Essays
The idea behind my project is to show how the aphorisms were always running through Morrie's mind. I drew a silhouette of Morrie and filled it with aphorisms that stood out to me. I did this to show that Morrie, himself, came up with these aphorisms, and not someone else. Morrie used the aphorisms to teach and get a point across in a way that is easy to understand.

I learned that I have the best dad in the world, helping me with ideas to make my good project even better. Lastly, I learned that no matter how much time is given for a project, start early. No one can ever know what problems they are going to have to overcome, like printing twenty sheets of paper until it comes out perfect. With every project I do, I learn something new on take to the next project, and I learned a lot from this project. I would never turn in anything I wasn't proud to have my name on, this project I can turn in with no hesitation. While working on it, I had the rubric with me for guidelines in making decisions. Every time I look at my project, I have a huge sense of accomplishment. Knowing that I made it and I handled every obstacle that came with it. I am very proud to call it my project. I think that it looks very clean and professional and shows my creativity as an individual. I wouldn't want to turn in anything that I felt wasn't worth a good grade, I think this project fits the bill for that. I am proud of my project and am very eager to see what you think of
