    Mitch did not stay in touch. He got so wrapped up in his work, that he lost all contact
    with his college friends and professors. Over the years, Morrie develops ALS, a horrible
    and deadly disease. Morrie sends letters to Mitch, but because they are sent from
    Brandeis University, he thinks they are just asking for money. Mitch only learned about
    his professor's disease when he saw him being interviewed on Nightline. When Mitch
    found out about Morrie having ALS, he decided to go see him. When he first saw
    Morrie, he slumped down in his seat to finish his work. HE should've just ran up to
    greet him. But he didn't. Morrie and Mitch decide to meet weekly on Tuesdays, so
    Morrie can teach Mitch the "meaning of life" before the disease complete destroys
    Morrie's ability to communicate. During the lesson's, Mitch learns that he needs to focus
    on love and other people, not making as much money as he can. Morrie convinces
    Mitch to write the book "Tuesdays with Morrie", so Morrie can share his virtues with the
    whole world. When Morrie dies at the end of the book, Mitch realizes he can still

    IV. Analyzation

    ​a. Who is/are the characters in the story that you can relate
    yourself why?
    For me is Morrie because Morrie he's a strong person. He don't think he have a
    sick but he was a point that he cry and cry some morning he's angry, bitter but he told
    it doesn't last too long and say he want to live. Because for me if I have a problem I
    feel so lost and I act like i'm a strong and happy but deep inside I want to cry but I can
    do the things to solve the problem.

    b. What part/s of the story you like the most?

    When Mitch visit to Morrie because he know Morrie have a ALS and they're talking
    about life and Morrie told to Mitch "when you know how to die you know how
    live".Morrie and Mitch decide to meet weekly on Tuesdays, so Morrie can teach Mitch
    the "meaning of life" before the disease complete destroys Morrie's ability to
    communicate.

    c. Sight a part in the story that is currently happening in our society

    ​“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.”
