shared about another person’s life while they’re dying. Morrie would have loved to read this book because it shows the love and appreciation Mitch has for him. He would know for sure that someone cared for him. My favorite chapter was The Eighth Tuesday We Talk About Money. This was my favorite chapter because it proved that materialistic items aren’t the only things that can make people happy. Money doesn’t grow on trees and neither do humans because we have feelings. The true thing that can…

{Personal Interview}. Insightful words for a 22-year-old starting her last semester in college {my sister, Victoria}. As the closing words for my interview, however, they had yet to settle in. Admittedly, I conducted the interviews before reading Tuesdays with Morrie, so my comprehension of the backbone behind the questions was meager. Subsequently doing so, I’ve reaped a new mindset. Morrie and those interviewed each have their own differentiating perceptive on life, love, people, and death…

From the beginning, the world is taught that death is the worse and most fearful thing to exist. In Mitch Albom’s, Tuesdays with Morrie, it is the opposite, death is portrayed as the way one can learn to live by accepting its presence for it provides many opportunities of a good life. This will be proven by the most useful lessons taught: the importance of family, the meaning of love and how to deal with death itself. To begin, Morrie explains to Mitch during their fifth lesson that family is…

Dylan Thomas' last words were: "I've had 18 straight whiskies......I think that's the record.” This shows that even when Thomas was on his deathbed he was still finding humor in the very thing that killed him, his alcoholism in his last moments, he was still doing the things that he enjoyed and had been doing all his life. Thomas’ famous poem, “Do not go gentle into that good night” expresses his views that each and every person should live life to its fullest potential, especially when their…

Stephen King is a renowned 21st century author, best known for horror novels such as The Shining and It. However, King took much more of a science fiction approach with 11/23/63. In short, 11/23/63 is a novel about stereotypical time travel with the usual Stephen King plot twists. Although none of the ideas within the novel are necessarily new, specific additions to the plot of the novel made it feel fresh and original. Jake Epping is a newly divorced English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine,…
