Tuesdays With Morrie Essay, Research Paper


This book is an intriguing description of an old mans battle with death. More


specifically that man is suffering from Lou Gehrig?s disease or amyotrophic


lateral sclerosis (ALS); a disease that affects the neurological system. There


is no cure for this disease, and the only good that can come out of having it is


the chance to say goodbye. The chance to educate people on the meaning of life


and the chance to give back what so many have given you. I think Morrie does


exactly that, in this novel and in life. In this novel there are two people that


are at the base of the story and several supporting people for both Morrie and


Mitch. Mitch is a former student of Morrie?s who has come back to bid his


professor and his good friend goodbye. While doing this, Morrie and Mitch both


agree to do a final thesis on Morrie?s death. They meet on Tuesdays and


discuss several different topics about life. Mitch films these sessions in hopes


of being able to watch them after Morrie?s passing, and to help him in writing


this thesis. As Morrie ge

ts into the final stages of his illness he can no


longer do anything except talk, and even that is quickly passing away. Morrie


said that he knew it would be bad when he could no longer wipe his ass. But when


that time came he said he actually enjoyed it, that it was like being a baby


again. Morrie demonstrates tremendous caring in this book; trying to help people


until the very end. He even goes as far as to say that if he could have another


son he wishes that it could be Mitch. The final session ends with Morrie telling


Mitch he loves him and Mitch doing the same and they both start to cry;


something Mitch said he would never do. Morrie spends his final days with his


nuclear family and dies alone in his bed, almost like he had planned it that


way. This is probably one of the best books I?ve ever read. The lessons you


learn just by reading the book are tremendous. Morrie is a great professor, even


after his death, as this book proves to be true. I know I?ll never forget this


book and the numerous lessons it has taught me. Life is a precious thing, live


for the now.
