Mitch Albom’s Tuesday with Morrie, published in 1997 and this book adapt to the movie in 1999.This book is being in great demand and it is a very meaningful story. It talk about a man, Mitch, he saw his respect professor in college, Morrie who was dying from ALS on the TV and he helped he could talk with Morrie in the rest of Morrie’s life. This is a journey of exploring life.

Morrie had no more time in his life because he was dying from ALS but he faced death without fear and he had a positive attitude to past his life. Mitch visited Morrie every Tuesday and they talked about many subject like love, family, work, value, age, death. Everyman usually is afraid of death and even doesn’t want to talk about that. When we face death, we often have some negative feeling like angry, sad, hopeless, despair. It is different to Morrie. Morrie said “When you learn how to die, you learn how to live.” Morrie changed his attitude and made good use of the rest time of his life. He wanted to talk to everyone who he loves the words in his mind. Through this book, I feel death is not really horrible because Morrie said “Death ends a life, not a relationship.” I learn the value of life and we should make good use of life.

In this book, Morrie shared his experience of marriage to Mitch. Between marriage and true love, there are some important keys and rules that are respect, compromise, talk openly, common set of values. We need to express our feeling in mind to the people who we love or they love us. Morrie said “The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.” No matter how difficult to do that, we need to do that because the life is short and we should cherish the love and fate.

Tuesday with Morrie is a book that everyone need to read once in the life. The author let me know the life is hopeful and how to face the death with positive attitude. This book brings me the respect of life and the power of live.
