Section 2 (Pg 62 - 72) This chapter started the same as other Tuesdays, Mitch brought bags of food as usual but this time he brought something else too, a tape recorder to record Morrie's voice so he could listen to him after he's gone. In this Tuesday they talk about regrets. Mitch asks Morrie if he has any regrets since he is so close to dying. Morrie responds and says that today's society doesn't encourage us to think about death and as our death come closer, we tent to start regretting stuff. Mitch knows that Morrie will not be with him soon and he has a lot to talk about so he makes a list of questions to ask Morrie on his fourth visit. In Audiovisual part 2 Ted Koppel came back for a second interview with Morrie. This time things were more smooth there were no pre-interviews. At the end of his interview when the cameras were off Morrie talked about how he lost his mother when he was a child.
As I was reading these chapters, Morrie talking about regrets had me start thinking about my regrets. A feeling I was getting that my past choices I made were very poor. My life could have been so much different if I had made better choices. I think that Morrie is right, today society does not encourage us to think about our regrets and that we need someone to point us to the right direction. Someone that will guide us along, advising us to not make the mistakes they made in their lives. Mitch already has this person, its Morrie. My prediction is that by the end of all Tuesday visits, Mitch will be a whole new person. Morrie will help him and make him realize that success in life is not just about making a lot of money. Morrie will explain to him how it is like to be on you death bed knowing you will die any day. Looking back on your life and realizing how everything turned out and that your life still is not over. Losing your mother at such a young age could be really tough. Morrie is very lucky for having such a great
