Tuesday's with Morrie
5 december 2010 | Door: DillonTjin | 20-29 jaar
Mitch Albom’s international bestseller ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ is a must-read book for anyone who is hungry for life’s wisdom. I remember when I started to read this book I could not stop. Tuesdays with Morrie portrays the true meaning of life in such clarity that I read it as if it was the most important thing I would ever read.
I like the book for a very brave character called Morrie. He is an old man that has been diagnosed with ALS, otherwise known as Lou Gehrig's disease, a terminal disease that affects the neurological system. As time passes by, he starts losing control over his body. First he can't move his feet. Than his legs and it slowly works it's way up. Morrie is in lot of pain, but he is trying to give his life a sense of purpose anyway, by teaching and loving.
There is another important main character in the book:
Mitch, a former student of Morrie and now a fairly well known sports writer. He heard about Morrie's disease and decided to pay him a visit. At first he feels a bit uncomfortable, because he hasn't visited his old professor in so many years and he didn't know what to expect and how to deal with this 'sad' situation. This soon turned into regular meetings on Tuesdays. Every Tuesday Mitch visited Morrie and Morrie taught him about life. Mitch decided he would become a student again: Going back to school and listen to what the teacher had to say. But only a little different this time: This time Morrie's house was the classroom and there where no books and there was no final exam given. However, Mitch was expected to produce one long paper on what was learned. And the most beautiful thing is that Mitch is actually the author himself (Mitch Albom ay). This book is Mitch's 'final paper'! It's all based on true events and his experiences, which makes this book so.. very.. special.
The events in the book and the emotions are described very clearly. So clearly, that it feels like you are making and watching a movie in your head as you read it. There is actually a movie of 'Tuesday's with Morrie'. I watched that one and I didn't find it disappointing. But if you read the book, I'm sure you'll prefer the movie you created in your imagination. I laughed, I cried and I learned from Morrie.
