BLOG 9:  In Tuesdays with Morrie Mitch Albom addresses the materialistic nature of our lives – and what Morrie has to teach him about how to live.  What did you take away from reading Tuesdays with Morrie?  Has it changed any outlook or previously held beliefs?
   
     I took away from Tuesdays with Morrie the importance of acceptance and love. I honestly did not realize how much I took for granted until reading this novel. People are not around forever therefore you must give them respect and let them know how you feel while they are around. Our society is very materialistic and this novel opened my eyes to being original, not to be how society wants us to be. I honestly took away a better perspective of life, and a better acceptance of death. I believe Tuesdays with Morrie is most likely the most influencial book I have ever read.
