After seeing his professor in an interview on the show "Nightline," the author is reminded of a promise he made long ago to keep in touch with him. Now with ALS, Morrie does not have much time left and Mitch notices this. So he travels from Michigan to Massachusetts to meet with him at his home. This meeting goes well and affects Mitch and Morrie so much that they meet for the next fourteen Tuesdays, up until Morrie passes away. During each of these meetings, they discuss a different topic about life. These topics make up the content of the book and include death, love, marriage, regret and the world we live in, as well as many others (as stated in the book). ]]> 2017-10-24 18:09:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jmorrill21/8exbej4dgkkq/wish/200138024 jmorrill21 https://padlet.com/jmorrill21/8exbej4dgkkq/wish/202505272 Mitch is an American author, journalist, musician, and television host.
