Tuesdays with Morrie

For my Tuesdays with Morrie project, I made waves of the ocean crashing into the shore with poster board and a lot of construction paper. Boarded by construction paper, I have ten aphorisms. The idea for my project was about the time that Morrie compared himself to a small wave seeing the waves ahead of him crash along the shore, and the wave knows his time will come to crash on the shore as well. Morrie compares him to the wave realizing that his death is coming upon Morrie just like…

Morrie is an old man, who could not move on his final days. At this stage, all he had was his voice which can express his wisdom. He was depending on others, which might make some people that he should be ashamed. Instead of being ashamed, he had chosen to live until his last breath. Besides, life in Morrie’s mind means being happy. Morrie’ story was a unique lesson, which inspire me to change the way I think and live with. This movie led me to understand the real meaning of life. Simply, it…

How Does Morrie Teach People How To Live Life? “The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our separate ways I die and you live. Which of these two is better only God knows” (Socrates). Socrates is like Morrie Schwartz because eventually people are going to die and go their separate ways but while Morrie is dying he teaches people how to live life. Morrie teaches people to live by not feeling bad for themselves, talking about death, and feeling emotion. Morrie teaches people to not feel bad…

different feelings to many people. The purpose of life is to find what you are looking for. Morrie taught us so many lessons about his purpose regarding love. He taught us about work, community, family, forgiveness, and death. This is exactly why his work is so essential. He doesn’t want any of us to live a meaningless life. I believe that the best way to learn the meaning of life is to follow our heart. Morrie had so much knowledge and taught so many lessons regarding being yourself and…

“The Second Tuesday” 1. In what ways do you agree or disagree with Morrie's perspective on self pity? I believe that Morrie has a very enlightening view on self pity and I agree with most of . Not everyone is mentally capable of accepting what is wrong in their life, so I don't really believe that everyone can do what he states. Some people recover and reflect on negative things going on in their lives in different ways and that may mean that some people spend more time pitying themselves…

Fear of Aging I truly have not considered whether I am afraid to grow old, upon debating if I am afraid or not, I don’t think I am afraid to grow old. I agree with how Morrie viewed aging, you retain more knowledge and wisdom as you age, and I think that wisdom is a valuable aspect of the aging process. I am not afraid to grow old because it’s the natural occurrence of life, all things have a beginning and an end, I just don’t see a reason for myself to fear the inevitable. I think there are…

Morrie Schwartz: Morrie had been a professor at Brandeis University for most of his life. He is diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, forcing him to retire when he became too weak to teach. He keeps a very positive attitude as he transitions from a cane to a walker, and from a walker to a wheelchair. He missed dancing though, which he used to do quite frequently in the college nightlife. ALS ravaged his body’s nervous system but leaves his mind intact. While he is going…

The american dream dates all the way back to when america was first founded in 1776. The definition of the American Dream is that everyone should have an equal opportunity to achieve success through hard work, determination and initiative. This definition of the American Dream might not be your definition because everyone is different. Some other key aspects of the American dream are lifestyle, happiness, and freedom and everyone will have different lifestyles, things that make them happy and…

example of believing someone’s spirit is watching over you. An example would be in the book Tuesdays with Morrie. During a discussion on the twelfth Tuesday, Mitch and Morrie were discussing what would happen after Morrie passes. That is when Mitch says, “It won't be the same, not being able to hear you talk,” in which Morrie replies, "Tell you what. After I'm dead, you talk. And I'll listen.” Meaning, Morrie will be listening to Mitch talk in spirit and assures him he is always…
