the book I read was Tuesday's with Morrie by this book illustrates a variety of different perspectives focused around illness and dying. one being the perspective of a person who although is not faced by any immediate threat of death but feels very unfulfilled in life. It also offers the perspective of a person who is in a position in which they have to witness someone close to them dying. Lastly, the perspective of a person who was actually experiencing death. All these perspectives come together within the book to give a more vivid and encompassing image of humanity as a whole. Tuesdays with Morrie is a book about a former student and a professor at a university we developed a very deep and meaningful relationship with each other. who also are often talked with each other about the very controversial subjects such as the meaning of life itself this student due to seeing him on a television show was able to meet again with his professor who was unfortunately dying. the book is the account his student made of the time before he died and of the relationship they had.
Evidence:
1.page 15 "after the funeral, my life changed. i felt as if time were suddenly precious, water going down an open drain."
2.page 33 "what happened to me? i asked myself. Morrie's high, smoky voice took me back to my university years, when i thought rich people were evil, a shirt and tie were prison clothes, a life without freedom to get up and go-- motorcylce beneath you, breeze in your face, down streets of paris, into the mountains of tibet-- was not a good life at all. what happened to me?"
