Tuesdays with Morrie




I would relate To Kill a Mockingbird to one of my favorite books, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. Tuesdays with Morrie is about a sports writer who meets with his old sociology proffessor every Tuesday. The reason they meet every Tuesday is because of the fact that Morrie has ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease. He's dying and he wants to reconnect with Mitch before it's too late. They talk about life, family, love, death, and whatever you could think of. Mitch had such a strong relationship with Morrie before, but he needed another chance before it was too late. It shows that the ones you love, the ones who you think you know everything about, but you have no idea. They are such a mystery to you. Scout thought she knew all about Atticus. But Scout didn't know that her father was a great marksmen, or that it was his seniority that prevented him from doing certain things. You think the first time around you see right through the person, but most of the time you need one more chance just to make sure.

I read and watched the movie. It's a great story and I believe it is one of those books/movies that everyone should read/see. It really gives people more meaning to their lives.
