Outside Reading- Week 4 Post B

Dear Mitch,

I have reached the end of your memoir and the end of Morrie's life. Except there were no suprises to what happened, and some things were even forshadowed earlier in the book. FOr example, the whole not crying ordeal. It was mentioned a few times how you have never cried and I don't think that would'nt have been mentioned if you didn't end up crying in the end. Also, the end of the memoir was really jsut the summation of "Life's greatest lesson." EVerything Morrie taught came together in the end and the last thesis was finally finished.
What I really liked about the end is how Morrie still considered himself to be a teacher, even form beyond the grave, because this is very true. Also, I like the fact that you still go to Morrie's grave on Tuesdays and you actually felt as though he was listenening, but only on Tuesdays beacuse that was your guys' "day." I think that it is a releif to know that you can still talk to people even though they are dead, and I really do think they are listening. It's comforting to those who have just lost a loved one beacuse it is very difficult to just stop talking to them and not being able to talk to them. So, I think it really helps people cope with someone's death.
Well there wasn't a lot left that I had to read in the last section, but what I can say is that overall I really enjoyed the book. It gives such great advice for now and later in life. It is hard to forget that advice, because it's not like I haven't heard it before, but now it is even more embeded into my mind because I will remember what a great memoir it was and how great of a person Morrie was, and it jsut reminds me to try and be a better person and live my life in happiness.
