tuesdays with morre is a sad story. It is about a friendsip beetween a
college professor and his student. When Mitch went to college at Brandeis
University he had a college professor name Morrie Schwartz. Though the four
years that Mitch went to college they became really good friends. Mitch asked
Mr.Morrie if he could be his mentor. To Teach him all of the things life had to
offer. After Mitch graduated from college they agreed to stay in touch. Mitch
got a great job offer to be a sports columnist in Detroit, so he took it. Well
time went by and they called each other every so often, but after awhile Mitch
was much to busy with work that he lost touch with Mr. Morrie. He thought about
him every once in awhile but never called or wrote him. One night when he was
watching television he saw Mr. Morrie on nightline. That night he learned that
Mr. Morrie had Lou Gehrig's disease. After Mitch heard about his illness he
called him. Mr. Morrie was glad to hear from Mitch. He told him that he had a
lot of things he wanted to discus with him before he died. It was a class and he
was the only student. the class met on Tuesdays. It began after breakfast. The
subject was the meaning of life.
It was taught with experience. No grades were
given, but there were oral exams each week. He was expected to respond to
questions, and you were expected to pose questions of your own. No books were
required, yet many topics were coverd, including love, work, community, family,
aging, forgiveness, and, finally, death. The last lecture was brief, only a few
words. a funeral was held in lieu of graduation. Although no final exam was
given, you were expected to produce one long paper on what you learned. The last
class of Mr.Morries class had only one student, which was Mitch.
