INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
It is believed that reading literature affects the social beliefs of man. In fact, according to the book The Moral Laboratory: Experiments examining the effects of reading literature on social conception and moral self-concept by Jemeljan Hakemulder, literature-based treatments affect the readers’ attitudes, norms, values, beliefs, self-concept, social abilities and level of moral and critical thinking. This has been based on the study conducted by the author to show how literature affects the society. This belief on the effects of literature applies well on Mitch Albom’s novel, Tuesdays with Morrie. The novel showcases a real-life story of an old teacher and his views about the different circumstances in life, including life itself, marriage and death among others. It was believed that the novel changed the author’s perception about life and society. (http://www.ebooks.com/ebooks/book_display.asp?IID=622864).
English novelist and essayist E.M Foster once said that, what is wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it to the condition of the man who wrote it. That is the exact reason why Tuesdays with Morrie, an autobiography is an international bestseller. It is one of the most influential writing of all time with its simple yet conversational way of narration that makes the reader feel the same way as the author.
