Tuesdays With Morrie

I read a book named Tuesdays with Morrie for extra credit. It was a good book. I havent read any books in quite a long time so it was hard to just jump right into the book. It was basically about a teachers bond with his now older student. The teacher is diagnosed with a life altering disease that gradually weakens him over time limiting his physical abilities as it develops. The teacher is a lot older than the student and gives him advice at their meetings on life.

They meet every Tuesday and the student shows so much love and compassion for his teacher by how he acts and cares for him. The teacher shows the same things back towards the student. Many of the things the teacher said such as when two people who love each other die. The love doesnt die. It is still there spiritually existing just not visable to the human eye. I thought about that and truly agreed with what he said. The book ended with Morries death and a more positive outlook and future for the narrators life.
