Choose the quote which best characterizes Morrie as a man who had fun and did not worry about what other's thought of him,

"He'd do the lindy to Jimi Hendrix. he twisted and twirled, he waved his arms like a conductor on amphetamines, until sweat was dripping down the middle of his back. No one there knew he was a prominent doctor of sociology... they just thought he was an old nut."

"He is a sall man who takes small steps, as if a strong wind could, at any time, whisk him up into the clouds."

"He has sparkling blue-green eyes, thinning silver hair that spills onto his forehead, big ears, a triangular nose, and tufts of graying eyebrows."

"Although his teeth are crooked and his lower ones are slanted... when he smiles, it's as if you'd just told him the first joke on earth."

"ALS is like a lit candle: it melts our nerves and leaves ou body a pile of wax. Often it begins with the legs and works its way up." How does this simile above help develop the mood of the reader?

Which quote best shows Mitch's change from the person who he was during his college days?

"I stopped renting. I started buying. I bought a house on a hill. I bought cars. I invested in stocks and built a portfolio. I was cranked to the fifth gear, and everything I did, I did on a deadline... I made more money than I had ever figured to see."

"Over the years, I threw away any mail from Brandeis University, figuring they were only asking for money. So I did not know of Morrie's illness."

"I would wake up in the morning, brush my teeth and sit down at the typewriter in the same clothes I had slept in."

"I was failing for the first time in my life."

What is the effect of the quote, "The disease owned him," on your mood as the reader?

This quote allows you to see that Morrie had become completely undone by the disease. He continually cried over his final moments.

Morrie believes that waves are helpless and destined to crash, break, and die.

Morrie believes the waves are gentle and loving.

Morrie believes waves are destructive and represent his painful battle with death.

Why does Mitch end the story much like he begins it: "The last class of my old professor’s life took place once a week, in his home, by a window in his study where he could watch a small hibiscus plant shed its pink flowers. The class met on Tuesdays. No books were required. The subject was the meaning of life. It was taught from experience. The teaching goes on."

This is Morrie's final thesis, and Mitch is defending it for him, like a student defends his work to his teacher.

He can't think of a good conclusion to his story, so he just repeats what he used in his introduction.

Morrie died before Mitch could finish the book, so since Mitch was so heartbroken, his publisher had to finish it for him.
