"Tuesdays with Morrie"

Paper Summary:

This paper focuses on Morrie, the main character in Mitch Albom's "Tuesdays with Morrie." This paper details Albom's book and explains why this particular story spoke to millions of people around the world. This paper describes, from the writer's personal point of view, why Morrie was a man completely the opposite from what the popular culture considers a man should be, when he spoke from a place that few people in our culture dare to speak from, the heart.

From the Paper:

"I think Morrie was on track about people not knowing who they are. Most people identify themselves with whatever facade they choose to hide behind. If it's a cool facade, then they are accepted by people. Not all masks are physical because there are people who hide behind the intellectual mask, as a way to feel above others who are not as smart or who aren't as ambitious. These types of people are not much different than Mitch or what he had become in his life. Mitch didn't know himself that well but he became what was expected of him to become but he found out later that all that he had once thought was important was really trivial."
