Do you think it is useful and inspiring? Or do you think it has no point, and doesn’t really make a difference?     ]]> 2021-05-26 13:51:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561421102 jamiedering https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561424104 same as last time, although i had a pretty hectic week so i tried to cram a lot.]]> 2021-05-26 13:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561424104 khushi_duggal https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561426118 My schedule was mostly the same as last week. For this section, there were less pages so I wasn't much worried about it. I just read first writing notes/quotes that stood out to me and then wrote my thoughts. ]]> 2021-05-26 13:53:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561426118 jamiedering https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561426368 i personally don't really see any so far. books like these can sometimes become stale or fall short in dialogue or how it presents information, but this book is doing it (at least in my opinion) very very well!!]]> 2021-05-26 13:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561426368 jamiedering https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561431529 how would you feel if you were in mitch's position- getting life lessons and advice from someone who you deeply cared about before they died. what questions would you ask, how would you spend your time with them, etc.]]> 2021-05-26 13:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561431529 khushi_duggal https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561435759 I really like this book and I don't really see any flaws, it's more like a light reading book and it's pretty straightforward which I like. The only thing that I would say is I, personally, want to know more about Mitch and Morrie's past relationship together when Mithc was in college. ]]> 2021-05-26 13:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561435759 jamiedering https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561439989 what advice/lessons about life would you pass down to loved ones if you were in morrie's position?]]> 2021-05-26 13:56:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561439989 jamiedering https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561443591 how do you think mitch is feeling; reconnecting with his old college professor after years and years, to find out his time with morrie is limited?]]> 2021-05-26 13:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561443591 khushi_duggal https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561447709 In section 2, the reader finds more about Morrie’s past, and his family. Why do you think Eva played a big role in his life?]]> 2021-05-26 13:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561447709 khushi_duggal https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561450547 I think Mitch definitely feels guilty that he didn't visit Morrie before knowing his disease and knowing that he doesn't have much time left. He also feels regretful since he completely forgot everything else except his work, and now except work he doesn't really have anything because ehe broke everything off kind of. ]]> 2021-05-26 13:58:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561450547 jamiedering https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561452352 what questions would you ask morrie if you were in mitch's position?]]> 2021-05-26 13:58:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561452352 khushi_duggal https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561462646 I would definitely feel how Mitch is feeling right now, not ready to let go and accept his death. I think I would ask more questions about their past and the lessons they learned through their life experiences since it would tell me more about them as well as more about life in general. ]]> 2021-05-26 14:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561462646 mconfroy1 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561524711 I wonder if Mitch (and Morrie too) are reflecting on who they were back then, when they knew each other at the college. Time and experiences have a really funny way of changing people's views on life, attitudes, thoughts about their purpose, etc. Relationships are a great touchstone--they can remind us of who we were at the time, and show us how we have grown.]]> 2021-05-26 14:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/j0uhiefchv4ejhfg/wish/1561524711
