Sportswriter Mitch Albom recounts the time he spent with his 78-year-old sociology professor, Morrie Schwartz, at Brandeis University, who was dying of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Albom, a former student of Schwartz, had not corresponded with him since attending his college classes 16 years earlier. The first three chapters incorporate an ambiguous introduction to the final conversation between Albom and Schwartz, a brief flashback of the Albom graduation and an account of the events that Albom experienced between graduation and the meeting with his teacher. The name Morrie comes from its meaning in Hebrew (mori מורי), which means "my teacher".

Albom is a successful sports columnist for the Detroit Free Press despite his childhood dream of being a pianist. After seeing Schwartz on Nightline, Albom called Schwartz, who remembered his former student despite the lapse of 16 years. Albom was asked to travel from Michigan to Massachusetts to visit Schwartz. A journalist strike frees Albom to travel weekly, on Tuesdays, to visit Schwartz. The resulting book is based on these fourteen Tuesdays that meet, complemented by Schwartz's lectures and life experiences and interspersed with flashbacks and allusions to contemporary events.

Tuesday With Morrie examines the interactions and phenomena between the human experience of living and dying. A theme of personal transcendence appears for both characters: Morrie and Albom. This transformation is experienced by both characters through the deterioration of Morrie's health. Morrie shows us the value of maintaining dignity in the face of death; That love is the most valuable thing we can offer each other. For readers, this allows an informal way to learn about the process of dying; Learning "that not all stories end happily with a person in remission and, therefore, avoiding death." Rather, death and death are natural processes and must be recognized for what they are: natural events. The role that culture plays in the development of happiness in our lives is also examined in the novel. Morrie says that we often see ourselves as different from each other, rather than similar. Continues to promote the value of investing in people instead of material objects.

Asap plz which sentence from this excerpt of jefferson davis’s inaugural address indicates that secession was the confederacy’s way of reclaiming its legal powers? an agricultural people, whose chief interest is the export of a commodity required in every manufacturing country, our true policy is peace, and the freest trade which our necessities will permit . . there can be but little rivalry between ours and any manufacturing or navigating community, such as the northeastern states of the american union. it must follow, therefore, that a mutual interest would invite good will and kind offices. if, however, passion or the lust of dominion should cloud the judgment or inflame the ambition of those states, we must prepare to meet the emergency and to maintain, by the final arbitrament of the sword, the position which we have assumed among the nations of the earth. we have entered upon the career of independence, and it must be inflexibly pursued. through many years of controversy with our late associates, the northern states, we have vainly endeavored to secure tranquillity, and to obtain respect for the rights to which we were entitled. as a necessity, not a choice, we have resorted to the remedy of separation; and henceforth our energies must be directed to the conduct of our own affairs, and the perpetuity of the confederacy which we have formed. if a just perception of mutual interest shall permit us peaceably to pursue our separate political career, my most earnest desire will have been fulfilled. but, if this be denied to us, and the integrity of our territory and jurisdiction be assailed, it will but remain for us, with firm resolve, to appeal to arms and invoke the blessings of providence on a just cause . .
