Tuesdays with morrie
Tuesdays with Morrie is an amazing story about this sociology teacher who is diagnosed with a fatal disease, and he doesn't have much time left. Before he dies he wants to give one last lesson. one of his former students hears that he is sick so he comes to see Morrie. He ends up coming to see Morrie every Tuesday and he gives Mitch a lesson about lives large questions like "How do we die?" or "When do we know we are in love?" ect. Mitch is your typical American; focused mainly on work, always on the run, and not taking enough time out of his life to enjoy life. Throughout the movie Mitch is a victim to conforming to the norms of society. By the end of the movie Mitch has a completely different outlook on life and ends up valuing relationships with people more than his relationship with work, as it should be. Morrie was an exceptional person because even though he was dying he still had a positive outlook and even though he has his times to cry and be upset about it in the end he was happy. the knowledge that Morrie had was amazingly vast and I think everyone could benefit from watching this movie or reading the book.
