Today’s Assignment

Answer the following questions, thoroughly, in paragraph form, to demonstrate a deeper understanding of the text.
5. Was Morrie making a judgment on people who choose not to have kids with his statement: “If you want the experience of having complete responsibility for another human being, and to learn how to love and bond in the deepest way, then you should have children” (p. 93)? Whether or not he was, do you agree?
6. Mitch wrote, “Perhaps this is one reason I was drawn to Morrie. He let me be where my brother would not” (p. 97). Discuss Mitch’s relationship with Peter.
7. Discuss the practical side of Morrie’s advice: “Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone” (p. 128). How could this advice be useful the next time you’re in a social or other situation where you feel out of place or uncomfortable?
8. Morrie said that in marriage, “Your values must be alike” (p. 149). In what ways do you agree or disagree?
