In this chapter, we learn that many wealthy people in the world choose to handle their money poorly. We hear that a man started to cry because he didn't get what he wanted. You see, if you get too involved with money, this is what happens. You become selfish brats that do't think of anyone but themselves. Some people are boastful and make other people feel like they have nothing. Well, money doesn't grow on trees and sometimes, people have to work extremely hard of what they get. However, there are unbelievable caring wealthy people in the world willing to share, and have a personality you will never forget. Not everyone is rich and rude, but wealthy and wonderful. Being selfish will never get you anywhere in life. Remember, Money can not buy happiness.

On the Seventh Tuesday with Mitch and Morrie, we talk about aging. More is perfectly fine with aging. Actually, he encourages it. Someone like this is my grandma. She can cook like you haven't ever seen before! She knows she is getting older, but that doesn't stop her, she goes out on walks every day. She recently had a tumor in her wrist, but that was just a small bump in the road. She still made sure there was food on the table, Christmas shopping was finished, and everyone is happy. I love my grandma and I thank her every day.
If I could come back to life as an animal, I would be a snow leopard. I would be in my own world, with no issues to come. They are a beautiful animal to its society. They don't push others down, accept if they are looking for dinner, but they lift them back up. They don't abandon their new borns, they stay with them, until it is their time to go. hey take care of each other. They don't have much to fear, because where they come from, all they have to deal with is polar bears. They dint have to do anything with isis, or any of these life threatening terrorist groups. The worst they could approach are hunters, which aren't really looking for snow leopards out in Antarctica. This animal is a beautiful creature to nature and to its society.
In this chapter we read that Morrie is getting sicker by the day. His disease is slowly making its way up his body, soon to take over his lungs. He is constantly coughing and hacking, and is always loosing his breath. This took off much time from Mitch's visits, but he still enjoyed spending the time with him. He also is not able to eat what he once was able too. He has to eat soft foods and drink only liquids. When Morrie is finding troubles with his breathing, he closes his eyes, and takes himself to his happy place.
In this chapter we discuss about family. We learn about having children, having a family, and everyone around them and how it makes you feel great. Morris's family is all around him. His great if it wonderful people around him. Then we hear about Mitch's family. We hear about the death of his mother again and how he has an older sister and a younger brother. His brother has blonde hair, hazel-colored eyes, and is two years younger than Mitch. And he remembers how him and his dark haired sister used to tease his that a random person rang the doorbell and left him at the doorstep because of how different they looked from each other. Mitch lost touch with his siblings. His brother had been diagnosed with cancel, and never answers any calls for help.
In this chapter we learn that Mitch wrote a list about a couple things they wanted to go over. There was "Death, Fear, Aging, Greed, Marriage, Family, Society. Forgiveness, and a meaningful life." this was wrote in the previous chapter, On Mitch's way home. When Mitch first arrives at Morrie's home, he finds him to be wearing a portable oxygen tank about knee high. When ever he couldn't get enough air to swallow, he would attach the tube to his nostrils like a leech. This made Mitch annoyed and uncomfotorable because he hated the idea of Morrie connected under a machine. As soon as they get settled, They begin talking about death. "Everyone knows they will die, but nobody believes it" Morrie says. He begins to write, scribbling a few incomprehensible notes that only he can read. They also talk about being prepared to die. He explains for you to be like the Buddhists and have a bird on your shoulder saying "Is today the day. Am I the person I want to be. Is today the day I die?" So Mitch and Morrie continue until Mitch left back home to Detroit.
"Teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." -Henry Adams. Every teacher affects the world. Their influence on people never stops. Teachers inspire, help, and provide what you need for the rest of your life. They guide you through tough times, happy times, and no matter what happens, they will always have time for you. Their wonderful influence on you never gives up. They want you to be a great person and will always be by your side to help.
In This Chapter of Tuesdays with Morrie, The discuss about regrets.
Mitch Brings a tape recorder to Morrie's home along with bags of groceries. When Morrie is gone, Mitch still wanted to hear his voice, and remember what they talked about. Morrie wants the tape recorder because he wants his story of be heard. "So" he said. "Is it on?" Mitch switched on the recorder and listened to Morrie. He told his story. He spoke about the truth, and how you can't be afraid to die. On the way home, Mitch wrote a list of things that he wanted to go over with Morrie, such as Death, Rear, Aging, Greed, Marriage, Family, Society, Forgiveness, and a Meaningful life. So Mitch continued trudging home, through the boing hot air, with sweat dripping down his face as they pass by the frustrated people, who seem as it they are ready to kill someone. In this chapter, Morrie shows feelings of regret. You should take the risks in life and maybe fall a little, but guarantee it, you will get right back up! Make sure to always live your life to the fullest, because once your at the point where you can't do something, theres pretty much no going back. So now while you have the chance, live your life to the fullest and take you chances now! Remember to always live in the present, and don't dwell over the past, except if it is a wonderful memory, the that is acceptable!
My view of the world is beautiful. It contains new life, sad stories and happiness. The world may be a depressing place with ISIS bombing countries and cities, and killing innocent people. It's terrifying to just think of the thought of people killing innocent citizens of society, Like those people at a concert in Paris, being held captive and killed brutally. But when you push that aside and scoot through the past, there are better things to focus on more than that. Everything is amazing. It is a true blessing for new life to come, like a new bird hatching from an egg, or a beautiful baby coming to life. If you are in a free place, with no problems at all, don't be like Mitch! You should care about what happens in the world, all though you have nothing to care about. Watch the news, look around and see what else is happening. You may worry about other people, but God gave you this ability, to be free from all bad things and to live a great life. Jesus gave up his life for you, and he wants you to live to the fullest.
Who is my Morrie? Well, theres gonna be a lot of explaining to do here. Mitch trusts Morrie unbelievably and talks to him no matter what. Ms. Koval is my Morrie. She is a kindhearted teacher who is loving and caring for everyone.She is amazing! She helps when you need it and cares for you when your sad. Ms. Koval is the person to talk to when you need it. She is trustworthy for everyone and devotes her time and effort to help everyone. She is funny, and says kooky things when ever you need a laugh. We have a special bond because We talk a lot and I am with her everyday and after everyday, I become even more closer. Ms. Koval gives great advice and she is just amazing! She is my language arts teacher and Religion. Not everyone is lucky enough to have her for Religion, but I was lucky enough to capture the gold. One day, I hope you find your Ms. Koval!
I love this quote because it tells you to take the risk of things. Sometimes, you don't take the risk, you wont find out what your missing. "what if I fall" well you will fall but get back up again and keep trying and you will fly, meaning it will take you very high in life. Try and take a risk and see if you will fall, or else you will never know if you could fly.
From my prospective I see life in a beautiful way. I picture it as a pie. Take away the bad slices, How delightful! In the past couple of years we have lots of tragedies like 9/11, Hurricane Sandy, and the recent attack of Paris. These things should have never happened, but unfortunately they do. There are thousands of other sad times, but Life is an amazing thing and you should live everyday of your life to the fullest. You never know when your last days could be, so make is count! Think of it in a wonderful way because you because you have the power to light up your universe with sunshine and sparkles rather than drench yourself with rain and darkness on the inside. You are the ones who make you the way you are and light up your way of life, so make it incredible!
