I have found this helpful because then I have less work for the next week kind of. ]]> 2021-06-02 13:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3vwovhv38svt2iia/wish/1579531957 jamiedering https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3vwovhv38svt2iia/wish/1579535260 same as usual! sometimes sparknotes helps me find little things i've missed (i read too fast sometimes) but overall, the usual!]]> 2021-06-02 13:52:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3vwovhv38svt2iia/wish/1579535260 khushi_duggal https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3vwovhv38svt2iia/wish/1579536339 There is definitely the topic of communication and love discussed the most and how people are more socially closed off now and more focused on money and careers kind of. Morrie just kind of teaches that money can't solve everything although it Is important and how the value of communication and love is always needed. ]]> 2021-06-02 13:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3vwovhv38svt2iia/wish/1579536339 jamiedering https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3vwovhv38svt2iia/wish/1579537567 death isn't a horrific thing, but a human experience we all go through and how it can teach us true life lessons, even at our final days. morrie is positive and calm throughout everything, even when he knows he's dying. he's welcoming death instead of resisting, by passing on his wisdom and being open-minded.]]> 2021-06-02 13:52:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3vwovhv38svt2iia/wish/1579537567 khushi_duggal https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3vwovhv38svt2iia/wish/1579543214 Has this book changed your perspective/mind on any of the bunch of important topics that have been displayed such as communication, love, money, death, etc. or just strengthened you POV?

Once Mitch does show up, I feel like Morrie feels proud by the man Mitch has become and happy that he remembered to visit him. ]]> 2021-06-02 14:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3vwovhv38svt2iia/wish/1579572671 jamiedering https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3vwovhv38svt2iia/wish/1579576587 i would probably spend all the time with them and just be in their presence. i would also absolutely do what mitch is doing and ask them questions and life advice!]]> 2021-06-02 14:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3vwovhv38svt2iia/wish/1579576587 khushi_duggal https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3vwovhv38svt2iia/wish/1579582137 I don't think Morrie finds this annoying but I think he does feel sad that people are coming now.
