An Inspirational Story
"The class met on
Tuesdays
. It began after breakfast. The subject was the Meaning of Life. It was taught from experience." This is a passage selected from the wonderful story TUESDAYS WITH
MORRIE
by Mitch Albom. A memoir, written in 1st person, Mitch shares how his life changed when he learned his old college professor, Morrie, was dying. Every Tuesday, until Morrie's death, Mitch went to Morrie. Taking place at Morrie's house, they discuss the theme of the book, the Meaning of Life, and to live everyday like you were dying. My opinion on this book is that it is very inspiring and can teach you a lot about living life. I especially like, a passage on page 83 stating, "Oh, yes. You strip away all that stuff and you focus on the essentials. When you realize you are going to die, you see everything much differently. He sighed. Learn how to die, and you learn how to live." I believe this passage captures the whole meaning of the book. This is a very good book that I would definitely recommend for anyone fifth grade or older. The concept of death may be too harsh for anyone younger. A quick read, this book is definitely one to cherish.

Touched My Heart and Soul
Tuesdays
with
Morrie
is a "final thesis" between a young man and his old, beloved college professor who is diagnosed with a deadly, unforgiving illness called ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
This book made Morrie's death much more valuable by making it a life lesson for people. People fear death and let it take over them instead of preparing for it and cherishing the moments they have to live. Morrie is only human, and he must have had his fears as well, but Morrie was strong, and he used his death to teach one more class, to share the experience to the public and give others the message of life and death.
Morrie died painfully, but he didn't die lonely. He was a great teacher, husband, father, and friend. He had many loved ones who watched over him. He didn't die without meaning either. He left the world a better place.
After reading this book, I was deeply moved, and I've thought a lot about life and death. I'm still young and I don't really know much about the two broad subjects. After reading the book twice, I truly believe this book is the answer to life.
Life is a long, tiring trip and death is like your last stop to home sweet home and knowing that you've been there before.
No matter how busy or how much your life is filled with earthly activities, this book reminds us of the simple gifts we have in life and to cherish the loved ones. After I finished the book, I've been able to appreciate the little things in life, such as the color of leaves, the sounds of birds chirping, the laughter of loved ones, and the simple daily activities that I am able to do.
This is the type of book that can be read over and over and you'll still find more valuable hidden meanings and lessons in the text. It is beautifully written and simple, yet contains much complex lessons. This book touches your heart and soul and gets your mind thinking about the values of life. This is a book that never leaves your soul after you read it. Trust me on that.
**I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT**

The best book I have ever read!!
This is the most profound book I have ever read. I am an avid reader and am always looking for self-help, inspirational, and moving books. This is by far the most moving and inspiring books I have ever read. Mitch Albom did an excellent job carrying on what
Morrie hoped
he would-his message. Morrie wanted to touch lives and with this book he continues to do so even after his death. I felt a connection to this man, who has been deceased for quite a while now, thanks to this wonderful book. I only hope others will allow themselves the priviledge of getting to know Morrie by reading this book. I will change their lives forever, like it did mine!
