Tuesdays with Morrie
In this unit, we will be investigating a relationship surrounding a younger man, Mitch, with an older man, Morrie. It is not age that actually has made this relationship special but the imminent death of a long forgotten mentor that has rekindled this relationship. We witness a transformation of Mitch's relationship with Morrie and eventually, his transformation of his values as it relates to the world around him.
