Morrie Research Paper
6. The Orientation(2/9)
As Mitch pulls up to Morrie’s house, he is multi-tasking: he is checking the time to plan for his return flight, he is listening to a radio talk show, and he is talking on the phone with a producer about one of his programs. When he sees Morrie sitting peacefully on his front lawn, though, Mitch feels the need to hide all of this multi-tasking from Morrie.
Explain why Mitch feels the need to hide his activities from Morrie. Why are people(you) constantly feeling like they have to multi-task? What does this teach us, if anything?

I can incorporate more silence time into my daily life by taking time to sit in my car alone and think to myself for 15 minutes or more. People in the world could use more silence in their lives to think things through before they make decisions they shouldn’t. People around the world should understand that silence isn’t a bad thing and having some quiet time should be a daily thing to do for the sake of our lives as well as others. Mitch doesn’t understand why Morrie enjoys silence but, he feels more comfortable with being quiet around him more than he does with anybody else. Morrie is silent because of what is wrong with him but, his mind is thinking about the good things when he is.
