“Tuesday’s with Morrie” “Tuesdays with Morrie,” was written by author Mitch Albom, inspired by his college professor Morrie Schwarts. Morrie being a great college professor, and Mitch one of his favorite students, will come together for something they promised to do, but never actually accomplished. As time and life went on, the two ended up further apart and eventually no communication at all, which they promised wouldn't happen. In this book readers see how aging, forgiveness, family, and special people can effect life in such big ways, some good, others not so much. As the story begins, Morrie’s life is quickly coming to an end, but he is still trying to live the best possible life. Morrie even gets to come on the News channel and tell …show more content…
On the morning show Morrie talks about how he wants to give young people the best and also his last lesson of life, which will be the meaning of life, little does he know it will end up being Mitch. With Morrie living with in-house nurses, constantly taking pills, attending therapy, loosing abilities like driving, walking, etc he has realized how easy it was to take things for granted and how important it is to live life the right way, which is loving, forgiving, and happiness.

Morrie likes helping people, loves seeing them happy, and loves to see them do great things, something I wish all people wanted. “So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning, said by Mitch
