Tuesdays with Morrie Recommendation
RECOMMENDATION

Beautifully presented indeed was what we could say to the story, Tuesdays With Morrie. Written perfectly with memories full of teaching, lessons in life. Described flawlessly that made everyone’s heart be captured of how beautiful life could tell us, how appealing it is to everyone’s minds to learn lessons and realize flaws divinely, and how arresting it could be to one’s soul to touch every wretch.

The book, Tuesdays With Morie, was actually written out of the author’s experience. Mitch Albom purposely put it into writing for he believes that it is worth for everyone to learn the lessons he had from the past. It was his best way to reveal how beautiful life is and how much lessons we could possibly ever have to each and every chapter of our lives. But with what we believe in, one way of his writing ruined a part of the story’s greatness. Such way of writing was the idea that the author wrote it like some sort of a diary. Yes, it was great to share among readers that such actually happened in reality by mere of fact that he wrote it that way. But he could have written it idea-by-idea, story-by-story, and lesson-by-lesson. This isn’t a Princess Diaries sort of thing and it must be more of it. Like the book, The Secrets –where we could learn much of things about the secrets of success in love, family, friends, and anything that matters most it life. It was written through idea by idea.

We’ve known the hardships of life, but it hurts us more to know the fact behind the story that he had learn it from a dying friend. It gives pleasure and pain at one and the same time –pleasure from the great learning and pain from the dying Morrie. It was actually like saying that great lessons are learned behind suffering. The author could have written it lesson by chapter, just mere of the thought. And if he wanted it really to make us be informed that it was written out of his author, he could mention it part of the book, maybe in the first part or at then

    A great man, by the name of Robert Penn Warren once said, "One of our deepest cravings is to find logic in experience, but in real life, how little of our experience comes to us in such manageable form. 'TELLING' is a way of groping of the logic of an event, and attempt to make the experience intellectually manageable. If a man who is in a state of blind outrage at his fate, can come to understand that the fate which had seemed random and gratuitous is really a result of his own previous behavior, or is a part of the general plan of life, his emotional response is modified by that intellectual comprehension." In this statement, Robert Warren is saying that whenever people find themselves…

    Throughout life, inspirational lessons dwell at every corner with that golden opportunity to take those lessons and inspire others. Speeches are excellent ways to teach lessons and motivate listeners since the speaker has the freedom to add emotion to their voices and also add dramatic pauses that create suspense within the crowd of onlookers. However, stories can lack that emotion the voice of a speaker gives it. So, author’s use different styles of writing such as varied sentence length for the reader to know the right pauses and imagery to create an impact on the reader’s mind. Wes Moore, the author of The Other Wes Moore, uses theses crafts of writing to make a claim in the beginning portion of chapter seven that the impermanence of life makes every moment too precious to waste.…

    Above, O'Brien expresses to the reader that he wants you to feel what he felt. He wants others to understand what happened to him. The author writes for the reader. He also expresses above that story-truth is truer that happening-truth. Story-truth “makes things present”. In the authors words, it allows him to look at things he never looked at. He can attach faces to grief, love, pity and God. He can be brave and he can make himself feel again. In, the end, it allows the author to go back and experience things in a different way that he might not have necessarily wanted to experience again.…

    In the story "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O' Conner a hard lesson is learned through the character of a grandmother to a murdered family that pleads to the killer for her life. The grandmother is described by the killer at the end of the story here, "she would have been a good woman if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life" (338) By this the killer meant that it took a tragic event in order for her to understand herself. Throughout the story the grandmother saw herself as better than other people, and only at the end when facing death did she put herself to a lower level than someone. Another story in which the author uses a shocking or tragic event to impart a lesson or a truth is Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Birthmark". In this story the main character, Aylmer, learns a great lesson. The result of this event changes his life forever. I think the lesson that Aylmer learned is one that should be learned and read about. I also believe that many people are selfish and egotistical and only realize this when they are directly and adversely affected by such an event.…

    “What stories can do, I guess, is make things present. I can look at things I never looked at. I can attach faces to grief and love and pity and God. I can be brave. I can make myself feel again.
