|
|
professor and his student. When Mitch went to college at Brandeis University he had a
|
|
college professor name Morrie Schwartz. Though the four years that Mitch went to
|
|
college they became really good friends. Mitch asked Mr.Morrie if he could be his mentor.
|
|
To Teach him all of the things life had to offer. After Mitch graduated
|
|
from college they agreed to stay in touch. Mitch got a great job offer to be a sports
|
|
columnist in Detroit, so he took it. Well time went by and they called each other every so
|
|
often, but after awhile Mitch was much to busy with work that he lost touch with Mr. Morrie.
|
|
He thought about him every once in awhile but never called or wrote him. One
|
|
night when he was watching television he saw Mr. Morrie on nightline. That night he
|
|
learned that Mr. Morrie had Lou Gehrig's disease. After Mitch heard about his illness he called
|
|
him. Mr. Morrie was glad to hear from Mitch. He told him that he had a lot of
|
|
things he wanted to discus with him before he died. It was a class and he was the
|
|
only student. the class met on Tuesdays. It began after breakfast. The subject was the meaning of life.
|
|
It was taught with experience. No grades were given, but there were oral exams each week.

|
He was expected to respond to questions, and you were expected to pose questions of your
|
|
own. No books were required, yet many topics were coverd, including love, work, community, family, aging,
|
|
forgiveness, and, finally, death. The last lecture was brief, only a few words. a funeral
|
|
was held in lieu of graduation. Although no final exam was given, you were expected to produce one
|
|
long paper on what you learned. The last class of Mr.Morries class had only one student, which was Mitch.
