Tuesdays with Morrie Book Report
The title of the book I read is Tuesdays with Morrie. The author of the book is Mitch Albom. The book was written in 1997. Tuesdays with Morrie is written about a man named Morrie Schwartz, who was struggling for his life, and slowly dying. Morrie was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), also known as “Lou Gehrig’s disease.” Although Morrie’s life was slowly deteriorating and Morrie knew that death was near, he continued to try to live life to the fullest instead of giving up. He taught all of his loved ones his lessons on living life. Morrie Schwartz was born on December 20, 1916 and grew up in New York. His father’s name was Charles Schwartz and he was a Russian immigrant. When Morrie was very young, his mother died. Morrie and his brother David were very close, but David was diagnosed with polio at a young age. Morrie’s father eventually remarried to a woman named Eva. Eva was a mother to Morrie and David, and they both loved her. As Morrie grew up his family was very poor, as it was during the Depression and Morrie’s father worked in the fur business. When Morrie grew up he worked as a professor at Brandeis University in Massachusetts. He worked there until he was about 70 years old and he was forced to retire as ALS slowly killed him. Since Morrie came from a rough background and his family was not always there for him, when he grew up he was always there for his children. Morrie was poor and his father wanted him to get a job, and from that point on he vowed never to do a job he didn’t enjoy. This is why he became a professor. The most important aspect of Morrie Schwartz’s life was how he accepted his slow, prolonged death and did not let it stop him from having a full life. When Morrie was diagnosed with the disease he said that he wanted to continue teaching, and someone wrote an article about him. He later appeared on multiple interviews on TV, which his former students saw. From that point on until
