Albom, Mitch. Tuesdays with Morrie: an Old Man, a Young Man, and Life’s Greatest Lesson. 1st ed. Doubleday, 1997. 

This novel made by Mitch Albom talks about a true story of a friendly relationship between a professor and alumni. Once student Mitch Albom graduates college, he promises his professor, Morrie Schwartz, that he will return to come to see him, but gets caught up with life and forgets his promise. One day when Mitch sees Morrie on The Nightline Show talking about his sickness and Mitch decides to go see Morrie. Knowing that Morrie has little time left on this Earth, Mitch goes to see Morrie every Tuesday, recording every visit so that Mitch could share it with the world. These recordings involved Morrie giving Mitch life lessons about what is the right and correct way for how someone should live their life to the fullest.

The way I’m going to use this novel is by writing about it in a literary narrative. This novel impacted my life in a way that it helped me evolve my vocabulary a little bit, but overall it made a difference in how I depicted life and have a mindset that isn’t equivalent to others. My life and mindset changed because of the life lessons that were mentioned in the novel and if I didn’t read this novel, I honestly don’t know if I would be here writing this. This novel showed me how I should truly live my life by helping others in need or people overall who need help and to give to others rather than receive; how I will find happiness within myself without trying so hard trying to find who I am and what will make me happy. I was using this novel to tell my story through writing the literary narrative and using a story map.
