Precis: Morrie changed my life and made me think of living it and how to deal with it in different ways. I care about the people around me more and I want to connect with my brother and talk to him about what's going on in his life and how I love him. I love that me and my brother has grown closer and Morrie was right that some how I would find my brother like how I found Morrie. Now that Morrie is dead I appreciate life more and more. He was the most important person in my life. 




Insight:


"Mostly I want to tell that person to get on a airplane and visit a gentle old man in West Newton, Massachusetts, sooner rather then later, before the old man loses his ability to dance" Pg.190-
Mitch is thinking back and wishes that he could of reconnected with his old professor a lot sooner and wished he could of been there more and see his teacher dance.


"The class met on Tuesdays. No books were required. The subject was the meaning of life. It was taught from experience. The teaching goes on" Pg. 192-
When Mitch says "The teaching goes on" makes me think that even though Morrie isn't there physically but he is there spiritually and that's what Morrie wanted, he wanted to be remembered and loved after death so his memory could continue.


"You'll find a way back to your brother," Morrie said. How do you know? Morrie smiled "You found me, didnt you" Pg. 178- 
Morrie believes that Mitch will find his brother because Mitch was able to find him and it eventually worked because Mitch and his brother are a lot closer and they communicate better.


The book also made me think about life differently and if ever am dying I would want to live life and just be able to do things and just be with people I love and who love me. I would want people to remember me. I thought Mitch grew as a person and realized that their is a side to him that he never saw before and now he is a different man.
