Who do you think got more out of their Tuesday meetings, Mitch or Morrie? In what ways? How do you think each would answer this question? 2. Discuss Morrie's criticisms of Mitch throughout the book. Do you think Morrie should have been tougher on him? Easier? 3. Do you think Mitch would have listened if Morrie hadn't been dying? Does impending death automatically make one's voice able to penetrate where it couldn't before? 4. Does this book make Morrie's death a public event? If so, how is it similar to other public deaths we've experienced as a society? How is it different? 5. Morrie referred to himself as a bridge, a person who is in between life and death, which makes him useful to others as a tool to understand both. Talk about other literary, historical, political or religious figures who have also served this purpose. 6. Morrie told Mitch about the "tension of opposites."Talk about this as a metaphor for the book and for society. 7. Mitch made a list of topics about which he wanted Morrie's insight and clarity. In what ways would your list be the same or different? 8. Morrie said: "If you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward."Is this true in your experience? 9. Was Morrie judging 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." Whether or not he was, do you agree? Please follow format provided in Class.
