Which of Morrie's ideas did you connect most deeply to? Explain. en-us 2019-05-01 21:54:39 UTC 2023-04-01 11:59:35 UTC hello@padlet.com https://imgglb.padletcdn.com/v13/image?t=g_auto&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpadlet.net%2Ficons%2Fpng%2F1f4f9.png ashlee_ochoa https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356760158   In his second interview with Ted Koppel, Morrie expressed his feelings about the progression of his disease and his impending death. I connected most deeply with his idea that love "does not need speech or hearing". I think we often forget that so much can be communicated without the use of words. Looking deeply into someone's eyes, touching their hand, giving them a warm smile - these small actions can mean so much. I also connected with his sentiment that tears do not weaken a person. Tears are a testament of strength. To feel deeply is to truly live and Morrie is using this notion to make the very most of the the time he has left.]]> 2019-05-03 20:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356760158 82819 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763541 2019-05-03 21:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763541 859061 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763549 2019-05-03 21:10:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763549 859061 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763551      In the second "Nightline" interview, Tod Koppel comes to see Morrie before he is not able to talk anymore. Morrie shared many more ideas about life with Mr. Koppel. The idea of "love doe not need speech or hearing" is my most connectable idea that Morrie had shared during this interview. Many people do not look at the small actions everyone does. Everyone in today's world is fixated on the big things, but like Morrie said, it is the little things that matter. Morrie mentioned how just the touch of a hand can still mean something instead of words. Many do not think we can communicate without worlds,but actions do speak louder than words, and this is the idea Morrie is trying to share. This was the idea I connected with the most out of the ones Morrie shared in this second "Nightline" interview. ]]> 2019-05-03 21:10:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763551 82806 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763556 During Morrie's second interview, he contemplates his life and the imminent obstacles that are soon to come. He discussed about many different factors in his life. The statement I could relate to the most is his point on "silent love." I feel like silence is an indicator in a relationship that a significant point has been reached. If silence is not awkward, if means that two individuals are comfortable with each other, and feel no need to constantly seek each other's approval. Another thing I related to was his talk about the sadness in isolation/silence and happiness in noise. When I am surrounded by people, I feel invulnerable to being trapped in my own thoughts. In contrast, silence and loneliness are the things I hate about being in my bed at night. Thoughts about the infinite void of death cloud my mind and give me feelings of fear. As a result, I appreciate the presence of my friends much more.  ]]> 2019-05-03 21:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763556 82833 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763558 I connected a lot with Morrie's emotional state in the second video clip of the interview. At one point, Ted Koppel asks Morrie about his mother that had died during his childhood. Morrie begins to cry, and he says that the pain from being lonely still haunts him. He still feels lonely after losing his mother. This emotion from Morrie is something that I can connect with deeply. I have always feared being alone. Loneliness is a flat out terrible feeling. I empathized with Morrie seeing him in such pain because of his own loneliness. I also loved how he said that tears do not weaken a person but rather, highlight how strong the person actually is. Him crying about his mother's death and loneliness shows how strong he is too, which I understood and connected with so much. Morrie is clearly an emotional person that experienced hardships. Really, all of us can relate to that can't we? ]]> 2019-05-03 21:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763558 82837 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763570   In Morrie's second review with on "Nightline" with Ted Koppel, Morrie explains how he is dealing with ALS and the ways he was affected by this. He elaborates on his feelings and how he is dealing with ALS. He even tells how he is dealing with death. I connected most deeply with his idea about crying for many different things as well as reasons. I also cry for things that happen around the world just like Morrie. I personally am a very emotional person even when some people ask why are you crying. Sometimes I can really understand what other people are feeling and what they are going through. I also connected with the fact tears don't make someone weak instead they just make them stronger. This is just like when Morrie responded to Ted by stating, "My tears don't make me weaker, If anything, they make me stronger," he made a point that expressing your emotional isn't a sign of weakness. Neither is being alone a weakness. There have been many times when I have cried and later on I realized that I felt a different emotion and didn't feel as sad about what happened. When people face many obstacles in their lives they become sad. Then it also makes me feel that I am in their shoes and can feel that way. This was the idea that I connected to the most from Morrie's second interview on "Nightline" with Ted Koppel. ]]> 2019-05-03 21:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763570 82808 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763574    During Morrie's second television interview, I connected to when Morrie said that he cried for a lot of different things at the same time. The most relatable of the things he mentioned that made him emotional in my opinion was the idea that he cried for the pain of the world, not just his own. As a typically very emotional person, I can understand how easily you can be moved to tears about a variety of different topics. When I look at all the horrible events that occur in the world on a daily basis, it's  easy for me to be overcome with sadness and empathy for the people who face so much pain in their lives. Of everything Morrie said, this hit me the hardest because I feel a connection to him through our shared feelings.]]> 2019-05-03 21:10:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763574 86440 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763582   In the second interview "Nightline" with Ted Koppel, Morrie had discussed how he feels with ALS. Morrie explains how ALS affected his body and how his body functions. When Morrie was discussed about his demise and how he would cry about it, he said that he was trying to make the best out of everything. This part had touched me because I tend to find myself being in an emotional state about death. Death in my family is a very sentimental topic since I have lost a lot of family members. I try to make the best out of my life. ]]> 2019-05-03 21:10:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763582 82866 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763587 After viewing the clips from Morrie's second interview with Ted Koppel he went pretty in depth on how he felt of his mom's death as well as him expressing his feelings. He spoke of how him crying and him shedding tears is actually more of a sign of strength than weakness. I connected to this only because of the fact that I for some reason for that way when it comes to other people, but when it comes to myself I feel weak for being upset or crying. Although to hear him say something such as having the ability to cry in front of others or just in general is more of a sign of being strong than weak. Also when Morrie spoke of his mom and about how he felt so alone, and I am just a person who is scared to ever be alone or to be on my own with no one there with me. ]]> 2019-05-03 21:10:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763587 86835 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763593 In Morrie's second Nightline interview , he talked about living  his life with ALS. I think I can connect to when Morrie was talking about his mother who died 70 years ago. He got emotional and almost cried. Morrie also said that love doesn't need senses to be expressed. Love is something that can be expressed using Morrie and his friends hands when his friend cannot hear and Morrie cannot talk. He is very strong that he is talking about his own demise. I am a very emotional person, opposite to Morrie.]]> 2019-05-03 21:10:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763593 82956 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763603 Within Ted Koppel's second interview with Morrie they reflect on Morrie's digressing condition and health.

From his interview one of the phrases that I connected with him saying that he does not need to talk to someone to connect, they would simply just exist with each other and connect with each other;s presense. This touched me becasue I have always been pressured to keep conversations with someone else t bond, but I never realized I don't have to that. In second interview with Morrie, Morrie also spoke about his past and how they effect him now.. He id this by talking about a letter that a teacher who is doing a support group for children who lost a parent. Morrie also talked about what bodily function he is most scared to lose first. He also shared what bodily function he lost and approximately when he would die.]]> 2019-05-03 21:10:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763616 82910 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763621 In his second interview wit Ted Koppel, Morrie talks about how his mental nealth has gone down, and how he has come closer to the end. Morrie's has accepeted his ALS, and he is not afriad of it. He has accepetd that he is going to leave Earth, bur he is still going to live his life to the fullest and best of his ability. Morrie is a realist and he talks about how he is about to die. He says, that once you die you die for a long, but when you are alive you live. This is a very true statement because you only live once, and that is the whole point of life. We are meant to live life to the fullest, and that is what Morrie is going to do even though he has ALS.]]> 2019-05-03 21:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763621 82861 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763630 In the second "Nightline" interview with Ted Koppel, Morrie discusses his disease and how it is slowly shutting down his bodily functions. He talks with Ted Koppel about how he has accepted death,how he is not afraid to cry and how he still feels the pain of his mothers death.  I connected most with Morrie's claim on how when you are dead you are gonna be dead for a long time so you should be in no rush to die and should live life to the fullest. People and usually get caught up into spending their life doing things that they don't want to like working nine to five jobs just to make money. Young people focus so much on school and getting good grades that they forget to live their lives to the fullest and get the most enjoyment out of it. Hearing Morrie say that he wants to live his life the most he can before he dies just puts into perspective that everyone should. It is a dying man's last goal to do so it should just inspire you to live a happy life. Overall, this idea of Morrie has inspired me to live my life and have fun instead of just focusing on school and making money.]]> 2019-05-03 21:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763630 82874 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763668 In his second interview with Ted Koppel, Morrie was able to describe his mentality as his disease continues to worsen and his thoughts on his future condition. The part I felt most connected to Morrie was when he talked about accepting his death. Instead of being frightful of the inevitable he was able to look past that for the better and was to able to move on. This mindset can allow him to live the rest of his days in peace rather than fear, thus making end of his life well lived. "I can die knowing that I lived a good life," This aspect of Morrie's insightful mindset makes me deeply respect him because of how abrupt he had to decide the satisfaction of his life because of how his life in on a clock. ]]> 2019-05-03 21:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763668 82818 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763743 In Morrie's second interview with Ted Koppel, Morrie talks about far he is and how his disease is treating him. He talks about how his reading is still great and he reads a note from his mother which makes him very upset for thinking about his mother. I connect deeply about this because I truly love my mom to death and I would still be upset knowing if my mother was gone and I know I wouldn't be afraid to cry for my mother. I also deeply connected to the disease and how Morrie explains how he is slowly starting to lose his ability to move and speak. I can never know what its like to has ALS but I know what its like to to be able to talk and want to do something but not being able to do. This makes me realize how strong Morrie is and how much he has learned from having ALS. He knows he is going to die and he is accepting that and still doing what he can to talk to others and inspire others.  I think being in Morrie's state has shown others how much there is to life and how lucky most of us are to be here for others and make people happy while he is trying  his best to win both battles. He knows his state is going to kill him, yet he continues to thrive and learn new things and motivate people to do great things at the same time.]]> 2019-05-03 21:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763743 83044 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763762 In Morrie's second interview on Nightline,Morrie speaks more about his illness and shares how he feels about his death with Ted Koppel. During the end of Morrie's interview, Morrie spoke about the end of his life and Morrie stated that once he's dead he is going to be dead for a long time and he will try to appreciate life more and be a more lively person while he is alive. I connected to this statement the most because it made me realize that most people including myself don't live life to the fullest. It reminded me that I need to be able appreciate life more and be the best person I can be while I'm still here.  ]]> 2019-05-03 21:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356763762 82819 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356764354 In Morrie's second interview with Ted Koppel, he describes his horrible life conditions. He also describes his mental illness and how it is getting really bad. Morrie's life is coming closer to an end. Morrie really does not care about the disease because he knows he cant do anything about it. Morrie had a lot of pain from his childhood. In the second video he had started to get emotional because he was talking about his mom. Morrie has been through a lot and ALS has made his life even worse.]]> 2019-05-03 21:16:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356764354 https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356768253 Within Ted Koppel's second interview with Morrie they reflect on Morrie's digressing condition and health. Morrie reflects on  the attention he has gotten from the last interview. He brings up the story of a teacher's support group for kid's who has lost a loved one. He thinks back on the memory of losing his mother and teared up. His  philosophy of showing emotions about everything in a flood of emotions opposed to holding everything in and hoping it will fade out. This connects to me in a different way because I struggle in expressing my emotions in a healthy way. I hope to one day be able to express my emotions as easily as Morrie does. ]]> 2019-05-03 21:46:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlee_ochoa/92vwy5n423ez/wish/356768253
