Tuesdays with Morrie

The book i read was "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. This book was about how a man from high school getting attached to his professor. When Mitch has to do a report he goes to Morrie to interview him.Despite the age difference they had a great connection that they shared everything with each other. Morrie had a great influence on Mitch's life. He was always giving positive remarks and he always said theres never goodbye's. Morrie teaches Mitch a lot of life lessons and they always talked about their problems. Every Tuesday Mitch went to see him. He would ask him questions and Morrie would always answer back with a good/positive response. Throughout reading this book, I really liked the way the author made it seem like i was actually there. I also liked the way the author described the conflict and all the events that happened.

Things that I really liked was that it really inspired me and I felt like i could connect to it. My favorite part was when i read about Morrie talking about his death. This was my favorite scene because Morrie and Mitch talk about forgiveness and death. Forgiveness is a way Morrie wants his life to end. Morrie says "Don't let go too soon, but not too long". They talk about Morrie's old friend named Norman. Norman built a sculpture for him in a 3-d way, then died from cancer. This was hard on Morrie because he had gotten into a fight with him before and never talked to him ever again. He decided to forgive when he had already died.

This would be a good book for people that like life lessons and relationships between close friends. I would recommend this for kids 12 and up like teenagers. Teenagers would be a good age range because this book is mostly about how life is like and the start of peoples careers and struggles they will face when they get older. On the scale from 1-4, I would give "Tuesdays with Morrie" a three. I thought the book was boring at the beginning because i didn't know much about it but once i got into the second chapter I got really interested and started to get what they whole book was about. The most interesting part i got to was towards the middle when you find out more about the concept of the book and it starts to sum up the story. Overall, Tuesdays with Morrie was an excellent book and i f i was able to read it again for a book project i would pick this book. I would read it again because i thought it was interesting and it teaches alot of new things that could happen in your life. I thought this book was very inspiring and really detailed.
