2. “Tuesdays with Morrie” By Mitch Albom 2
INTRODUCTION
The last class of my old professor’s life took place once a week in his house, by a
window in the study where he could watch a small hibiscus plant shed its pink
leaves. The class met on Tuesdays. It began after breakfast. The subject was The
Meaning of Life. It was taught from experience. No grades were given, but there
were oral exams each week. You were expected to respond to questions, and you
were expected to pose questions of your own. You were also required to perform
physical tasks now and then, such as lifting the professor’s head to a comfortable
spot on the pillow or placing his glasses on the bridge of his nose. Kissing him
good-bye earned you extra credit. No books were required, yet many topics were
covered, including love, work, community, family, aging, forgiveness, and, finally,
death. The last lecture was brief, only a few words. A funeral was held in lieu of
graduation. Although no final exam was given, you were expected to produce one
long paper on what was learned. That paper is presented here. The last class of
my old professor’s life had only one student. I was the student. It is the late spring
of 1979, a hot, sticky Saturday afternoon. Hundreds of us sit together, side by side,
in rows of wooden folding chairs on the main campus lawn. We wear blue nylon
robes. We listen impatiently to long speeches. When the ceremony is over, we
throw our caps in the air, and we are officially graduated from college, the senior
class of Brandeis University in the city of Waltham, Massachusetts. For many of
us, the curtain has just come down on childhood.
Afterward, I find Morrie Schwartz, my favorite professor, and introduce him to my
parents. He is a small man who takes small steps, as if a strong wind could, at any
time, whisk him up into the clouds. In his graduation day robe, he looks like a cross
between a biblical prophet and a Christmas elf He has sparkling blue green eyes,
thinning silver hair that spills onto his forehead, big ears, a triangular nose, and
tufts of graying eyebrows. Although his teeth are crooked and his lower ones are
slanted back—as if someone had once punched them in—when he smiles it’s as if
you’d just told him the first joke on earth. He tells my parents how I took every
class he taught. He tells them, “You have a special boy here. “Embarrassed, I look
at my feet. Before we leave, I hand my professor at present, a tan briefcase with
his initials on the front. I bought this the day before at a shopping mall. I didn’t want
to forget him. Maybe I didn’t want him to forget me. “Mitch, you are one of the good
ones,” he says, admiring the briefcase. Then he hugs me. I feel his thin arms
around my back. I am taller than he is, and when he holds me, I feel awkward,
older, as if I were the parent and he were the child. He asks if I will stay in touch,
and without hesitation I say, “Of course.” When he steps back, I see that he is
crying.

6. CONCLUSION
I look back sometimes at the person I was before I rediscovered my old professor. I
want to talk to that person. I want to tell him what to look out for, what mistakes to avoid.
I want to tell him to be more open, to ignore the lure of advertised values, to pay
attention when your loved ones are speaking, as if it were the last time you might hear
them. Mostly I want to tell that person to get on an airplane and visit a gentle old man in
West Newton, Massachusetts, sooner rather than later, before that old man gets sick
and loses his ability to dance. I know I cannot do this. None of us can undo what we’ve
done, or relive a life already recorded. But if Professor Morris Schwartz taught me
anything at all, it was this: there is no such thing as “too late” in life. He was changing
until the day he said good-bye. Not long after Morrie’s death, I reached my brother in
Spain. We had a long talk. I told him I respected his distance, and that all I wanted was
to be in touch—in the present, not just the past—to hold him in my life as much as he
could let me. “You’re my only brother,” I said. “I don’t want to lose you. I love you.” I had
never said such a thing to him before. A few days later, I received a message on my fax
machine. It was typed in the sprawling, poorly punctuated, all-cap-letters fashion that
always characterized my brother’s words. “HI I’VE JOINED THE NINETIES!” it began.
He wrote a few little stories, what he’d been doing that week, a couple of jokes. At the
end, he signed off this way:
I have heartburn and diarrhea at the moment—life’s a bitch. Chat later?
Sore Tush.
I laughed until there were tears in my eyes. This book was largely Morrie’s idea. He
called it our “final thesis.” Like the best of work projects, it brought us closer together,
and Morrie was delighted when several publishers expressed interest, even though he
died before meeting any of them. The advance money helped pay Morrie’s enormous
medical bills, and for that we were both grateful. The title, by the way, we came up with
one day in Morrie’s office. He liked naming things. He had several ideas. But when I
said, “How about Tuesdays with Morrie?” he smiled in an almost blushing way, and I
knew that was it. After Morrie died, I went through boxes of old college material. And I
discovered a final paper I had written for one of his classes. It was twenty years old
now. On the front page were my penciled comments scribbled to Morrie, and beneath
them were his comments scribbled back. Mine began, “Dear Coach …’ His began,
“Dear Player …” For some reason, each time I read that, I miss him more. Have you
ever really had a teacher? One who saw you as a raw but precious thing, a jewel that,
with wisdom, could be polished to a proud shine? If you are lucky enough to find your
way to such teachers, you will always find your way back. Sometimes it is only

professor’s life took place once a week, in his home, by a window in his study where he

QUOTES - IMPORTANT QUOTATIONS AND ANALYSIS
1.) "Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live." (82) - Morrie
Morrie says this during the fourth Tuesday when he and Mitch discuss death. Morrie
feels that people refuse to believe that they will one day die, and therefore, do not live
their lives as fully as they would have liked and also have many regrets as they become
older and their death becomes closer. He feels that once we learn and accept that we
are one day going to die, we learn to live our lives fully and without any regrets. Morrie
repeats this quote frequently throughout the chapter to emphasize how important and
helpful it is to accept death, and what a benefit it would be to living the remainder of our
lives. Morrie also wants Mitch to see how he is able to appreciate the smaller, more
genuine things in life, knowing that his death is approaching.
2.) "You closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot
believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going
to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can Trust them too-even
when you are in the dark. Even when you're falling." (61) - Morrie
During one of the flashbacks to when Mitch was a student of Morrie's, he recalls this
specific class in which Morrie had the students participate in "trust falls". The students
stood with their backs to their classmates and Tried to fall backwards relaying on the
others to catch them. Most of the students were.
