Would you mind helping? Are you okay with that? Often, to their own surprise, they were." P. 11 this is significant how much als affected morrie with daily life]]> 2017-09-28 17:58:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/192209507 https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/192211797 "He used to go to this churich in harvard square every Wednesday night for something called dance free" (pg 5)
This shows that morrie was outgoing and didn't care about what others thought and just enjoyed himself before getting diagnosed with ALS

I think this is important because you shouldnt dwell on things you cannot do, or dwell on things that happened in the past. You should be able to forgive and live without a heavy heart or heavy shoulders. You always miss out on the chances you didnt take. ]]> 2018-01-10 17:44:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/220292452 https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245048970 "He twisted and twirled, he waved his arms like a conductor on amphetamines, until sweat was dripping down his back. No one there knew he was a prominent doctor of sociology, with years of experience as a college professor and well-respected books. They just thought he was some old nut." (Pg 5-6) Albom is explaining that Morrie was uncaring to the judgment he got from others while he was dancing, he only cared about how he was having fun.]]> 2018-03-22 15:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245048970 Tuesday’s with Morrie https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245049017 “I’m visiting my old pal now,” he announced. “Let them call back.” Pg.33

I believe this is important because it shows the love and respect he has for people and that nothing isn’t more important than others ]]> 2018-03-22 15:14:54 UTC https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245049017 https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245049122 “He was intent on proving that the word ‘dying’ was not synonymous with ‘useless’ (pg. 12). This quote is important because people often assume that because someone is sick or dying, that they cannot do anything and that they are useless to the world. Morrie wants to show that just because he is dying, he can still make an impact on the world and be of use. ]]> 2018-03-22 15:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245049122 “Coach, I said suddenly, remembering the nickname. Morrie beamed. That’s me. I’m still your coach”. (35). This is important because it has a underlining meaning of respecting people who have helped you in the past. This quote shows that people that have previously helped you can provide great knowledge through life lessons and experiences. https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245049226 2018-03-22 15:15:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245049226 “Love wins. Love always wins.” on page 40. This stood out to me because it shows how Morrie looks at his life. Based on the story so far and how much we know about Morrie, he seems to love life no matter what’s going on around him and no matter his health condition because he wants to live life to the fullest. With him stating that love wins, it shows that his disease isn’t going to affect his outlook on life because he loves life. https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245049471 2018-03-22 15:15:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245049471 “You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.” (pg 40 https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245049531
  • This quote is important bc it faces reality and actually puts in persepective that we say one but we don’t actually do it.

(pg 25). This is important because Morrie tells mitch that he wishes they will become friends and ironically, Mitch becomes one of Morrie’s best friends and they spend every tuesday together after rekindling after 16 years. ]]> 2018-03-22 15:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245049699 https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245049810 “Well Ted one day soon someone’s gonna have to wipe my ass.” Morrie wants to live life to the fullest. pg. 22]]> 2018-03-22 15:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245049810 https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245050096 “Love wins. Love always wins.” pg 40
    • If you love something you should always keep trying. Never give up because things aren't working out. If it’s meant to be it’ll be.

    I think this quote is important because it shows how Morrie and Mitch had a close relationship, but also shows how even simple promises are easily broken ]]>     2018-03-22 15:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245050278     https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245050292 “ I hope that one day you will think of me as your friend.”(pg. 25)
    It shows that Morrie has a very caring heart for his students.]]>     2018-03-22 15:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245050292     pg 35 sydneymarie248 https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245050446 “...the culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves.” Society likes to make a social norm, which people are expected to maintain. If you do not maintain the norm you will get looked at differently. Culture does not like different or change. Society likes to bring people down causing them to be unhappy with themselves and or their life. Negativity will only bring more negativity, the world would be a better place if more postivity was spread. ]]> 2018-03-22 15:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245050446 Haley Dowell https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245050447 Well, for one thing culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. We're teaching the wrong things. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy t. Create your own. Most people can't open t. They're more unhappy than me-- even in my current condition". -pg. 35-36]]> 2018-03-22 15:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245050447 https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245050458 “I’m on the last great journey here- and people want me to tell them what to pack.” Page 33. I believe that this quote is significant because in the interview video that we watched he stated that he could be an inspiration to people. This quote stood out to me because it showed just that. That people were looking to him for answers because he was this “bridge” inbetween life and death.

    I can relate to this quote because during the time my grandma was dying of cancer, she had many loving and caring people who surrounded her and was there for her. ]]>     2018-03-22 15:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245051381     https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245051469 “i hope that one day you will think of me as your friend “pg25]]> 2018-03-22 15:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245051469 pg 34 https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245051503 “My days were full, yet I remained, much of the time, unsatisfied.” ]]> 2018-03-22 15:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245051503 Pg 29 https://padlet.com/nagricha/sbdk1gv1q0wc/wish/245051708 “Mitch,” he said softly, “you know that I’m dying.”

    This is important because it shows that Morrie knows he’s dying.
