Tuesday with Morrie by Mitch Albom-Review Written as an appeal to the salvation of soul, Tuesday with Morrie is an incredible treasure to the mankind.This book is published in the U.S.in 2006.This is a book about “the life’s greatest leons” between a young man and an old man, the true experience of Mitch and his respecting profeor.Regardle of their close friendship on the campus, Mitch, who “had become too wrapped up in the siren song of his own life”(Mitch, 2006, p.33)stayed out of touch with his teacher after graduation until it comes to the last moment, when Morrie was terminally sick.Due to a great coincidence, they reunited thankfully and Morrie brought back the true feelings in the dust-laden heart of Mitch.They started fourteen extraordinary leons, during which they discued the simple but ultimate iues of life.These leons are sure to make the most important course one has to take.The words flow gently through people’s minds like a warm stream with twinkling sprays of thoughts.With the main leons presented in a natural, plain dialogue mode, it reads entirely relaxed.Readers are absorbed into the scene, talking face-to-face with Morrie, asking the same questions that disturb them so much and gain spiritual enhancement over and over again.And it is not simply an aggregation of the conversations they have made.The structure is exquisitely designed with the main leons and the backgrounds appearing alternatively.It remains intriguing and the coordination of the two parts make the affection it created far more impreed and long-lasting.In addition to helping people reconsider the real content and the significance of love, it is a terrific journey where readers are confronted directly with the death.There is no doubt that the mightiest part of the book is the combination of love and death.The two concepts have striking contrast but both contribute to the return of people’s soul.With death drawing near, people tend to think more and deeper.It is the best time for one to look back, evaluating his or her life in a completely different way.When people know they are bound to die, they are no longer engaged in the trifles around, they are no longer bothered by the huge appetite they have got for everything.And the material world just seems unimportant;they only want company and mental comfort from others.It is the only time that almost every human being can reexamine himself and knows the true feelings inside him.De.Montaigne and Steve Jobs have both spoken highly of the particular state of mind called “being-towards-death”.For them，being-towards-death means one can truly get rid of the daily routines and decide what really matters for him or her as well as the people around.And that is what makes this series of chicken soup a milestone in history.Another highlight is that Mitch faced up to himself bravely.It is estimable for him to spoke out his faults, revealing the cold, indifferent figure of himself.This big contrast and the great change of Mitch present people an overwhelming affection and drive people to reflect on themselves.As a book to refresh people’s soul, Tuesday with Morrie is absolutely perfect.The warmth of love and the depth of thought shock everybody.There is one little flaw, though.At the end of the book, it puts “Have you ever really had a teacher…If you are lucky enough to find your way to such teachers, you will always find your way back.”(Mitch, 2006, p.192)Yet actually, unfair as the life is, quite few individuals can expect to have such enormous fortune to come acro such a great mind in their life.For the majority, they are more likely to gain constant power from their inner world.It would be better if the author could expre this idea in another way or maybe propose a more common method for the ordinary to create their own culture.At least it may not be so wisea to owe this too much to his teacher.Though this is also a book in memorial to Morrie, it is more crucial to pa on.And Morrie would be glad to see so, wouldn’t he? This may probably make the impact of the book more sustainable, not just a transitory paion, but a continuous one.Tuesday with Morrie is a profoundly heart-warming book which enables us to explore our love and inner paion.The unembarraed love between Mitch and Morrie is to touch everyone, making us feel ashamed when we hold back our true feelings, making us feel guilty when we drop our dreams and stimulating us to love and gain the courage to say that our culture is wrong.And the reexamination of these beautiful concepts in the view of death pushes us to embrace our life and create our own culture.References：
