    About this ebook

    Tuesdays with Morrie is a masterful work of nonfiction on multiple fronts. It grants the reader not only an inspiring story of a brave man facing death, but also emphasizes core truths about how to live life and invest in others. Mitch and Morrie’s final meeting is a living, breathing example of the kind of love that Morrie emphasizes throughout the book. The book unfolds slowly, building aphorisms and wise truths until you feel the change that took place in Mitch’s life. Through Albom’s deft and personable writing style, he paints a picture that endears us to Morrie as we become one of his beloved students as well.
    This is a summary and analysis of the book and NOT the original book

    Analysis

    Chapter One

    Mitch Albom details The Curriculum for the last class conducted by his terminally ill professor, Morrie Schwartz. Every Tuesday, Mitch meets with Morrie at his home to discuss The Meaning of Life, which are lessons based on Morrie’s lifetime experiences. Mitch details in educational jargon the requirements of the class. Oral exams in the form of questions were given each week, along with tasks that involved caring for the bedridden instructor. Topics covered included life lessons on everything from love and work, to life and death. Mitch indicates that the class ended upon the professor’s funeral, and that his final exam came in the form of a paper on what he learned, which comes in the form of the book.

    Mitch then goes on to relay an encounter with the professor upon his 1979 college graduation ceremony. As he introduces his parents to the professor, he describes to the reader how unassuming he was, but that his small frame and uncharacteristically charming face belied deep mirth. After Morrie mentions to Mitch’s parents that the student took every class that he taught, Mitch presents the professor with an initialed briefcase. Morrie, touched by the gesture, embraces Mitch warmly and indicates the desire to continue correspondence. When Mitch eagerly accepts and they refrain from embracing, Mitch sees that Morrie is weeping.

    Chapter Two

    Mitch details the onset of Morrie’s terminal illness in 1994, claiming that Morrie knew something was wrong when he
