 Chapter 3

The student

One day Mitch promised Morrie he would graduate from college but Mitch had not graduated. He had lost contact with his friends in college and continued to hold on to his grades. Mitch really admired his uncle. His uncle has died of pancreatic cancer. Mitch watched his uncle until his uncle died and he felt helpless. Until his life followed in the footsteps of his uncle by working hard and leaving his dream of becoming a pianist.

When his uncle asked the mitch, would he watch his children after his uncle died. Mitch told his uncle not to talk about it. Only a few weeks, his uncle died and changed his mind that his life was very valuable with financial success. Then he earned a master's degree in journalism and took the first job offered to him. Mitch spent his time working and not enjoying his time for himself because he thought that time was very valuable for the success of his life.

One day Mitch met Jannie, his future wife. They have been dating for 7 years. Until finally Mitch married Jannie and had a small family. Mitch still clung to his life to work. Mitch didn't know morrie's illness.

Chapter 4

The Audiovisual

In March 1995, Morrie was interviewed by Ted Koppel, host of the ABC-TV news program, "Nightline." Koppel and with the television crew to interview him. Morrie is now limited to a wheelchair, because she can't walk. Regardless of the progress of his illness, Morrie refused to be depressed and wrote a small philosophy about accepting his own death. Maurie Stein, a friend, sent some of this aphorism to a Boston Globe reporter who published a story about Morrie. The article has encouraged Koppel's visit.

Everyone was happy with Koppel's presence, even though Morrie still felt calm. He told Koppel that he needed to ask some introductory questions about the person before he would agree to do the interview. When Koppel admitted, Morrie asked him to mention something "close to his heart." Koppel mentions his children, and quotes Marcus Aurelius. He then asked Morrie about the show, which Morrie had seen only twice. When Koppel asked him what he thought about it, Morrie told him that he looked like a narcissist. Koppel jokingly replied that he was too bad to be a narcissist, and the men laughed.

During the interview, Morrie did not wear makeup or fancy clothes, because she did not want to convey the message that she was ashamed of death and aging. He said Koppel he wanted to die with dignity, and lived the rest of his life as he wanted. A few days, Morrie said he was crying because of anger and bitterness, but was renewed by his ambition to live. He accidentally called Koppel "Fred" rather than "Ted," but quickly corrected himself. Morrie told of his increasing dependence on others, and admitted that his biggest fear was that someday, he would not be able to clean himself after he went to the bathroom. Coincidentally, Mitch saw this television program when he turned the channel one night, an opportunity that served as a catalyst for a reunion between him and his old professor.
