Tuesdays With Maurrie Essay, Research Paper

TUESDAY?S WITH MORRIE

WHEN THE NOVEL TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE WAS BEING RED IN

CLASS IT GAVE ME A GREAT UNDERSTANDING OF LIFE AND HOW IT

WORKS. MORRIE NOT ONLY TAUGHT ME THE MEANING OF LIFE AND

LOVE, BUT HE TAUGHT ME THAT THE LITTLE THINGS SHOW THE WAY YOU

LOVE. MORRIE WAS SUFFERING FROM A DISEASE THAT EFFECTED HIS

BODY AND IT WAS SLOWLY TAKING HIS LIFE. WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF

HIS DEATH IN MIND HE DECIDED NOT TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF DEATH,

BUT TEACH OF IT AS HE DIES. THIS IN MANY PEOPLES MIND MADE HIM A

TEACHER. MORRIE TAUGHT TO THE END AND MADE PEOPLE REALIZE

THAT YOU SHOULD LOVE AND NOT HATE OR JUDGE THE WAY PEOPLE

CHOOSE TO LIVE THEIR LIFE. THE WORDS THAT MORRIE SPOKE MADE ME

REALIZE THE WAY I CHOOSE TO LIVE MY LIFE MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT OR

WRONG WAY AND THAT DOESN?T MATTER, BUT IF I AM ENJOYING THE

WAY MY LIFE IS THAN I AM LIVING IT THE RIGHT WAY, MY WAY.

THE NOVEL AND WHAT MORRIE WENT THROUGHOUT DID HIT HOME

FOR ME BECAUSE NOT TOO LONG AGO I LOST MY GRANDMOTHER TO

CANCER. THOUGHT THE DISEASE AT AWAY HER BODY SHE REFUSED TO

LET IT TAKE HER SOLE AND ABILITY TO LOVE. THE WAY THAT I

REMEMBER MY GRANDMOTHER IS DESCRIBED IN ONE WORD, GOLD. THAT

WORD TO ME DESCRIBES MORRIE. MORRIE HAD FAITH THAT WOULD NOT

DIE AND WHEN HE DID DIE HIS FAITH LIVED IN OTHERS. ?DON?T LET GO

TOO SOON, BUT DON?T HOLD ON TOO LONG? WERE WORDS OF WISDOM

THAT MORRIE SPOKE AND HE DID JUST THIS. HE HELD ON LONG ENOUGH

TO TEACH HIS FINAL LESSON, AND IN THE END EVERYBODY MADE THE

GRADE.

THE STORY OF MORRIE?S LIFE MADE MY FAITH IN GOD MUCH

STRONGER.. LIKE MY TEACHER EXPLAINED, IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE BY

COINCIDENCE. TO ME, FAITH SEEMS TO PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN THE

EVENTS THAT LED UP TO THE END OF MORRIE?S LIFE AND THE NOVEL.

FATE MUCH CONSIDERATION I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT

GOD PLAYED A ROLE IN THIS. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT WHAT ARE THE

ODDS THAT ALL OF THIS HAPPENED THE WAY IT DID. GOD HAD A PLAN

AND NOW MORRIE LIVES THROUGH MITCH.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT I HAVE LEARNED IN THIS NOVEL

IS THAT DEATH IS NOT THE END OF A RELATIONSHIP. I BELIEVE THAT

ONCE THE PHYSICAL ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP IS GONE THE

EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL ASPECT HAS A LARGER CHANCE TO DEVELOP,

AND THAT IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT. ONCE THEY ARE GONE THEY CAN LIVE

INSIDE YOUR, SOUL AND THAN YOU CAN SHARE EVERYTHING.

THE THING THAT MOVED ME MOST ABOUT MORRIE IS THAT HIS

SPIRIT NEVER DIED AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE WANTED TO GIVE UP

HE STILL GOT IN HIS CHAIR AND GOT DRESSED AND SPOKE HIS THOUGHTS
