A nonfiction book I love is "Tuesday's With Morrie," which is also written by Mitch Albom. The book is a memoir. It is about the writer himself and his college professor, Morrie Schwartz. This book is filled with the wonderful writings of their Tuesday's that they shared of Morris's last days. Morrie was a man that Mitch looked up to and after college they drifted, he was a mentor to Mitch. In this book, you get an insight of Mitch and how his teacher talk about the lessons of how to live. It is a very emotional book I believe because he's dying. Also, it's fascinating because Morrie interprets how he sees life and how he believes it should be lived.
We don't know when we aren't gonna see anyone before it's too late. We don't usually get second chances to see someone who played a big part in our life, but Mitch did. He was able to see his professor one more time before he died of ASL. ASL is a disease that weakens your nervous system and muscles. It basically makes I harder for your body to function. I feel like this book showed a lot of great valuables in life.
The book I have just currently finished reading is "One More Day," by Mitch Albom. It is a fictional book. It is about a man named Charley "Chick" Benetto and his life. His father at a young age told him that, "you can be a mama's boy or a daddy's boy, but you can't be both," so he obviously chose to be a daddy's boy. He started to play baseball (his dads favorite sport), but by doing so he never stood up for his mom and it caused him to burn some bridges with her. His parents also later divorced, which during that time was seen as something wrong. As he grows older he becomes an alcohol and has many regrets. His life goes down the tunnel, he gets a divorce with his wife and his daughter hates him. As a result he attempts to commit suicide...twice, but fails both times and finds his way to his childhood home instead. In his home, he has a guest...his mom who died eight years ago. How is she still alive ? What is happening ? What will happen ?
We live in a world, where we are born and then we grow up, but sooner or later we realize that we are all gonna die at some point. We learn a lot of things about how reality works. We can attempt to save someone from committing suicide, but if they don't want help then what else is there to do ? I personally enjoyed this book a lot because the main character goes through some things that happen a lot today, even if they are bad. The author especially is my favorite, I love Mitch Albom because his works of writing are so carefully written that at first I thought the book was nonfiction rather than fiction. He's a very innovative author. My favorite part of this book is the ending but sshhh, I can't tell you what happens.
Regrets, are some things that many people have in life or maybe it's just something I have. They regret not doing something or go somewhere, whether it be huge or small. If no one in the world had a single regret then I have no idea what would happen. It's an emotion that people experience when they DONT do something or when they DO. I have many regrets but only one that I actually care about and truly regret.
I regret not making smarter decisions mainly and I regret not using common sense. I know that it is not a specific thing, but it is because most of the things are regret have to deal with those to things. It makes me apprehensive. I use to be able to my parents everything no matter what, but now as I get older I don't really tell them much. I think it's a teenager thing, but I regret it. I won't to go back to the moment when I stopped telling them as much as I use to. It makes me kind of sad that as we get older that we don't have much of a connection with our parents because of the way life is and the hundreds of emotions we go through.
It's not something huge that I regret, but something that is of importance. I want to change how life works and rebuild the connection I use to have with my parents. I am still close with them but as I grow up, I fear that the connection will break away or no longer exist. And then it would it truly be something I regret with all my heart.
