Tuesday with Morrie

Title: Tuesday with Morrie

Author: Mitch Albom



This book is wrote by Mitch Albom, the author of a book called" The five people you meet in heaven". This book "Tuesday with Morrie" is non- fiction book which contains true story. This book is about a man having "classes" with his dying professor due to the ALS which is debilitating incurable disease. That disease started to ruin his muscles that he could not use his throat to swallow.



Mitch was Morrie's student in Brandeis University. They were very keen to each other. In the day of graduation, Mitch introduced his parents to Morrie. Morrie was very happy to see Mitch's parents and they thought it was the last time seeing each other.

Mitch became very famous especially due to a radio program and also the television programs. Later while Mitch was driving his car, he saw an old man in wheel chair. The two saw each other and they knew that they were Mitch and Morrie. Mitch was to embarassed and refused to believe this situation. However, Mitch goes out of his car and talk with Morrie. They make apoointment to meet each other every tuesday, a day they usually had class at the university.

Every Tuesday, they have different topics to talk about. Their conversations teaches the reader what actually life is and what you shouldn not do. One special thing with Morrie is that although he knows he will die someday not long after due to the disease, he is not afraid of death. He decided not to die with tears but with smile.

I think this book is great book as this book contains many precepts that help the readers to live their life wisely.
