Tuesday's with Morrie

What are your initial reactions to what you have read in Tuesdays with Morrie thus far? One of the main themes developing in Tuesdays with Morrie is not to take your life for granted. Based on this premise, what is on your Bucketlist? You can write a paragraph leading up to a bulleted list of what you would like to do/accomplish in your life.

In the book "Tuesday's with Morrie" the main character, Mitch, visits his old teacher Morrie who has ALS. Morrie throughout the book so far seems to be very calm and seems to not care that he has ALS. Morrie does it like to think of the negatives so in the book he is trying to make the best of the time that he has left. Morrie seems like a very happy guy which surprised me because if I had ALS I think I would be very sad because not only do I know that I'm going to die but I will be leaving people behind. In the novel Morrie has lost total control of his lower body so he is reliant on people to take care of
 him. Something that I really liked was how Morrie likes to teach his about life. In the book on page 31 Morrie says, "You can play all the lovely parts of life that I'm to old for now." To me thus quote really shows how Morrie likes to help others and how he likes to stay positive. 

Morrie in the books seems to not like to take things for granted because of his disease so he try's to make the best out of his life with the time that he has. Morrie was said to be a very happy person prior to him being diagnosed and he loved to dance. Something that really shocked me was how close his relationship is to Mitch. This really inspires me to one day hopefully have a really good friendship with someone. Another things that shocked me was how laid-back Morrie is. In the book when Morrie was being interviewed he swore and was completely honest which I really liked. I really liked this because Morrie wasn't acting fake or putting tons of makeup on as if he was trying to disguise himself.

Reading about Morrie trying to live his life to the fullest really inspired me to try and live mine to the fullest. The following things are goals I wish to accomplish in my life.
