Analysis Of Morrie's Views On Life
While I interviewed my grandma and my mom about their philosophies on life I started seeing comparisons with some of the statements they said, and what Morrie said in the book. It was December 17, a Sunday afternoon when I interviewed my grandma. The whole side of my dad’s family was present during the interview, so I got a little input on what everyone thought, but I am going to focus on what my grandma said.

Regrets are a part of life no one wants to remember, but always does. Being who you truly are and not letting anyone else change that was the biggest regret my mom had. She said if she could go back she would change some of what she did to “fit in” or be welcomed because that wasn’t who she truly was. In the book Morrie says he doesn’t think he’d change anything about his life because everything happens for a reason, but he does touch on the subject of not letting anyone steer you in the wrong direction. He tells Mitch not to let anyone else’s mind effect his
