Tuesdays with Morrie is by far my favorite novel and I will
forever keep this novel for life lessons I could look back on when I grow
old. Ever since I picked this novel, I have fallen deeper and deeper into Morrie’s
beliefs about life and also his own experiences in life. Slowly I'm changing my life and Morrie has an imact on that. I have always
struggled with reading because I could never retain anything I read, however
this novel has transformed me into loving to read and now I feel like a much
better reader. I can comfortably say now that I like to read and enjoy reading.
All it took was to find that one book to give me a spark for reading.
There was one specific quote in the book that hit me hard
and I really felt like I was there. This was when Morrie asked Janine to sing
for him, while she sang that song and started to read those lyrics I developed
“goosebumps” like I was one getting sung for.
“Morrie closed his eyes to absorb the notes. As my wife’s
loving voice filled the room, a crescent smile appeared on his face. And while
his body was stiff as a sandbag, you could almost see him dancing inside it.”
(Pg.146)
Just the fact that Janine sang to Morrie made it special, because how Mitch said in the novel,his wife had never sang in front of Mitch. This showed how she cared for Morrie.
