    I think the contents are concise and useful. She obeyed the rules when she wrote the book review. Such as the main theme , author’s name, the thesis and the opinion of the book. If I haven’t read the book, I could roughly know the plots of the book. Also if I have already read the book, I could more understand the deeply meaning of the book.

  3. amazon reader's review: https://www.amazon.com/Tuesdays-Morrie-young-greatest-lesson-ebook/dp/B002TXZRNQ
    (Tuesdays with Morrie, written by Mitch Albom, is a wonderful book about the meaning of life and life’s most important lessons. When Mitch goes back to see his old professor, who has a limited time left due to a disease that has taken over his life, they recall life lessons from Morrie. Filled with advice for all ages, Tuesdays with Morrie is a short book that everyone should find the time to read. Whether you’re looking for a quick read or a meaningful book, Tuesdays with Morrie is guaranteed to leave you satisfied with a new outlook on life. After hearing news of Morrie’s impending death, Mitch takes a break from being a workaholic and goes back to visit his professor. Mitch becomes a developed character after listening and comprehending Morrie’s “last class”. Morrie tells various stories and outlooks on life which leave the reader looking for more advice and insight; for example, one of my favorite quotes from the book reads “Death ends a life, not a relationship”. This is truly a book which discusses the meaning of life, the priorities of life, and the perspectives of life. While this book can be a bit sad, as it discusses death and such, I still recommend this to those mature enough. However, do not be surprised if you become attached to the character Morrie and find yourself upset as you read about what he goes through on a daily basis with his disease. Besides that, Tuesdays with Morrie is a book that all people should read and enjoy. Find time to sit down, to enjoy, and to reflect on Morrie’s pure advice on life.

    My comment:

    I agree from the bottom of my heart. Being a workaholic, Mitch takes a break and gives himself a chance to visit his old Professor. His thoughts have been constantly changed every time he discussed with Morrie.

    Short introduction:

    Tuesdays with Morrie, written by Mitch Albom, is a true story telling about the meaning of life.

    Morrie is the professor. He has been “diagnosed with ALS, and not given very long to live” (Albom, 46). Mitch visits his professor to restart their teacher-student relationship on Tuesdays. The final course is about love, work , community, family, aging, forgiveness and death.

    We are only focused on making a ton of money. What's more valuable in our life? We will be inspired by this book.

    Mitch Albom is the author of Tuesdays with Morrie, this book's main theme is talking about love, forgiveness, death, family, aging, and marriage. The author is not only a novelist, but also a journalist, besides, he writes about non-science fiction and youth literature.

    The book separates the topic into fourteen lessons, there are about world, feeling sorry for yourself, regrets, death, family, emotions, fear of aging, money, how love goes on, marriage, culture, forgiveness, perfect day, and last we say goodbye.

    In addition, there are some of my thesis in these fourteen lessons. First of all, I think I should learn how to give and accept others loves, whenever I am giving my loves to others, I can just wholeheartedly invest my love and to experience it, and don't be afraid to get hurt, besides, I think there is no need to calculate how much you give, but just give it truly. Moreover, when getting hurt in love, I should forgive not only others but also myself, because just yourself can make your feelings become better. And next is a part about marriage, people should be respect, compromise, being public and have a common value of life, last but not least, couple must have similar values when they are companion.

    Next part is about feeling sorry and regrets. I think there is no one that doesn't live without regrets for losing something important. But when you lose it, you don't have to be too persistent, you can just cry out, afterwards, keep focus on the good things that you own. I think that money or status can't bring you anything, only when you are open-minded, you can get along with anyone comfortably. That's why don't let culture to decide how your life look like, but choose the kind of the life you love.

    Last I am going to talk about death. When the end of the life, it just ends up your soul but not relationship. When you are well prepared to die in anytime, and you realize that you must be dead someday, you will be more putting into life and also becoming more cherish. In addition, family plays an important role in everyone's life, nothing can replace them and no need to envy youth, because you are also lived before, but there is no one can really renew their life, so just cherish every moment you have own. Last but not least, when you are almost losing something, you just let it go, because being persist on something that is going to vanish has no meaning.

    In the first paragraph, it mentions that what the book has covered in the first place, and tells people the title of the book and the author's name at the end of the paragraph.

    In the second paragraph, it recaps the relationship between Mitch and Morrie, and how they get along in their last few moments.

    In the third paragraph, it mentions about the reader's view point, it thought that the relationship between student and teacher are just like how friends getting along with, it is a comfortable and pure things. I'm agree with this point, because I think most of the teachers hope that students should be respect to their teachers totally, so students can't be too close with their teachers and need to keep a distance, that is why students always think that it is not comfortable to communicate with their teachers. But I really like the relationship if a teacher and a student could be friends and keep the manners simultaneously. It was really a comfortable experience in learning new knowledge.

    In the fourth paragraph, it mentions about the core theme of the book which is death. The reader thinks that it is no more or less to discuss about death. And I'm agree with it too, because I think that whatever people, animals, or plants, if they are alive, they should face the end of their life necessarily, so I regard that leaning how to face the ending of life isn't a bad thing.

    In the last paragraph, it says that this is a beautiful book but also a sad book. I really can't agree more. Owing to what the reader has mentioned, whenever reading the book will always tears or immerses in the low mood, but at the same time reader always consider about world, life, and the experience.

    The thing I found most beautiful about this book is the pure, warm relationship that is depicted between a teacher and student. I call it pure because it is what a teacher-student relationship is supposed to be like, so comfortable that it becomes a friendship. One of the most important aspects of learning is listening, which also forms the base of friendship.The name of the author is Mitch Album.And the book title is called Tuesdays with Morrie.The main theme about this novel talks as much about death as about life, if not more. I think the thesis of the book is death ends a life, not a relationship.In my opinion,The truth is, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.

    The reader mentions that when he read the book,he was a high school student.At the time histeacher died from a accident and his father was sick, so he can realized the feeling that Morrie had experience.This is an easy understanding book ,which talks about what we had considered about death.Moreover,it talks about the meaning of life that Morrie teaches Mitch about.
    There are important five points he've learned from the book:
    1.Bravely complete the final journey of life,learn to died,then learn to live.

    2.Live in the moment and cherish everything you have

    3.Ordinary is a kind of happiness

    4.Share and support with others.

    In his final life, he talked to Mickey about a record of love, affection, forgiveness, etc. Mickey visits him every Tuesday, just like when he was in college, the author's courses for Murray are almost all on Tuesday. The difference is that 16 years have passed. And what Mickey learned this time is not the knowledge in the books, but about "alive", it can be said that "live well". Just like the last class, it was a funeral, but the author used the way Murray said "you talk, I listen", and found that everything is so natural, the author only found out that the funeral was Tuesday.

    Because we don’t have this kind of pain, it’s hard to imagine that it’s kind of what it’s like to be foreshadowed on our judgment day, and then watch yourself approaching death day by day, especially this “closeness” can be “feeled” time. Murray, who is in it, sees it this way, "If necessary, I will cry well, but after crying, I will focus on the good things that have not been lost in life: people who come to see me, I hear Things..." "It's scary to watch my body slowly shrink to death, but it's also very gratifying, because I have enough time to say goodbye. Not everyone is so lucky."

  15. Tuesdays with Morrie is the book written by Mitch Albom. This is the true story about aothor’s professor, Morrie Schwartz’s lessons about life in every Tuesdays. In this novel, a lot of things of people around Morrie was changed by Morrie. After I read this book, I thought an important person’s death can changes another person’s life and mind better or worse.

  17. 1. Mitch Albom is the author of the book "Tusedays with Morrie." The main theme of the book is about the death of Morrie giving people different views of life.

    3. The thesis statement of the book is a person's death can let people understand what really matter in life.

    4. My thesis statement about the book is the meaningful, valuable things in our life.

    After I read Stephanie Bowen's review of Tusedays with Morrie, I agree with the review. Morrie's thoughts of life make us rethink what is the important things in our life.Things like family, love, culture, and so on. However, we are blinded by the reality of living. We are worrying about the every day needs, but forget the important things in life.

    It is good that he used quotation marks when he mentioned the sentences in the book. He focused on Mitch and Morris’s interaction. But he didn’t mention Mitch’s change of mind. I think that this part is also important when we write a review. At the end, he also talked about author’s behavior, and made a comment on it. Fewer people have mentioned that part. So I think it’s new to me. And it make me more interested to this book.

  22. In the thesis of this review, it talks about how to live in your highs and lows of life. The summary focuses on the last stage of Morrie's life. The writer's opinion is which she found a pure and warm relationship between the teacher and the student. From " the book is a short read ...... , and emotional sensitivity", we can see the writer recommends the book.
