A summary
Yesterday, I finished Tuesday with Morrie which is a memoir written by Mitch Albom. I had read it for 3 months. It is not long but I don’t read it continuously, that why it takes me so long to finish. I read it in original language, English.
The memoir is about Morrie who was a professor having ALS. ALS is the disease that Stephen Hawking had. Morrie was optimistic till the end of his life.
Mitch Albom was Morrie’s old student, they were every close. However, since Mitch graduated, he had been busy with his work and he lost touch with his grand teacher Morrie. After sixteen years, he checked his messy mails and there was a mail from old friend about Morrie’s condition. He startledly realized that he had forgotten Morrie for ages. He felf a surge of guilty because he had promised to Morrie he would visit him after graduating.
Reuniting after sixteen years with favorite student, Morrie was extremely happy. From that day, Mitch visited his beloved professor once a week on Tuesday. They talked about many topics such as love, work, family, marriage, aging, forgiveness and death. These Tuesdays are considered as their classes which include no books. The lesson is taught by life experience. This memoir is the last thesis of the student Mitch.
Mitch came up with this title beause they always met on Tuesday. He had suggested many titles before but when Morrie heard this, he smiled in a blushing way. Mitch knew that was it.
Morrie passed away on Saturday morning. In his funeral, Mitch heard the echo of Morrie’s voice in his head “After I’m dead, you talk. And I’ll listen.”
