Prep Talk (: readddd ittt peopleeee

My novel’s ‘pep talk’ is saying to move forward, to have meaningful relationships, don’t give up hope, and face reality. It's always nice to daydream and think up many wonderful things in our mind that we wish we could have or what we wish could happen but we all need to snap out of it and look at what’s in front of them. It’s probably very hard for people to face reality because everybody believes want they want and everyone wants to stay stuck in a fantasy or a memory. If you don’t have a close friendship with somebody..... get one! You need somebody that you can go to for help or have a shoulder to cry on. In Tuesdays with Morrie Mitch and Morrie have a loving relationship. Mitch never gave up on Morrie when he was dying, Mitch went to visit him ALL the time! Morrie also never gave up on Mitch, Morrie always listened to him! We all need a person like that in our lives! I can’t describe how AMAZING Morrie is Well he’s an old man that loves to dance! That sums it up! Well go out there and be amazing and do something useful with your life! or else you’ll be sorry!!!!!!!!!

20. To the very end, Mitch arrived at Morrie's house with food. Discuss the importance of this ritual.
 Mitch and everyone else who goes to someones house they need to be nice and bring something because they are inviting you in there house. Mitch doesn't want to be disrespectful and just come without anything he wants to have manners and bring food. So Morrie wont think Mitch doesnt care about Morrie he brings him something so he can enjoy.

Tuesdays with Morrie individual post

24. Morrie said that in marriage, "Your values must be alike."In what ways to you agree or disagree?

I disagree with what Morrie says here. I disagree with it because in a marriage the couple does not have to be the same, they could be different, and they could be the same, it is all up to them. But when he says that “Your values must be alike”, they don’t have to be, because if a man had the same values as his wife, wouldn’t that be weird, because he could like the things she does, and she might like the things he does, and vise.

quote


This ties into real life because everyday is a new day and you should be thankful for waking up and being healthy. Some people die in there sleep and some wake up healthy and we should be thankful for waking up. This quote i think is nice to know because it has something to do with life and its true because you can start off fresh the next day and just live your life.

Tuesdays with Morrie Reflecting

In the book i thought it was a really cool quote when it said this ”You don't want to go back you want to go forward”. Which i found really interesting because i can relate to that Because that how i feel when i play basketball and start picking up bad habits, i feel like that's going backwards so i feel as if this was made just for me. It really showed Morrie true character in the book it talks about he cheered up up a girl and worked at a hospital, which to me shows what his true intentions as citizen i and its to make people happy which so also fits me because i try really hard to make people happy with laughter.


I think that this is a memorable quote because Morrie is telling Mitch what he wants to have on his tombstone when he dies, and if no one else knows what he wants on it, Mitch could tell them what he wanted on it.

Do You Want To Go Forward Or Back In Life?

17. Morrie said: "If you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward."  Is this true in your experience?
When Morrie said, “If you’ve found meaning in your life, you don’t want to go back. You want to go forward.” I thought that that it will probably be true later in my life, but also right now. When you experience something good in your life you will want to go back, but you should also know that there will be other good things that are coming later in life also. This will be true for me later in life because I will have those awesome moments that will really change my life, but that doesn't have to mean that I should be stuck in one moment of my life. Moving forward will be a good thing because other good things will happen just like the moment you wanted to pause earlier. Wanting to go back in life has already happened to me. I can now realize that I don't need to go back to try to find why an event occurred, because in between when that event happened and now, I know that I don't want to go back.
