Tuesdays with Morrie..?

Question

I am very confused over the book, I read it twice, and I don't understand it. I looked online for summarys but I don't understand the summarys, can anyone explain the book so I can understand it?

Thank you =)

Answer 1

As far as i remember, this story is a book about a student who visits his old teacher once he finds out the teacher is dying. Morrie, the teacher, invites Albom (The author) over and they discuss events and character and stuff like that. In the end, after Morrie dies, Albom concludes that Morrie taught him even more in dying then he did as his teacher...

at least thats what i remember ( i read this book like 2 years ago)

Answer 2

What's not to understand?  It's the true story of Mitch Albom, a Detroit sports reporter who starts visiting an old teacher named Morrie Schwartz who is dying from Lou Gehrig's Disease.  In his conversations with Morrie, Mitch learns there's more to life than job, money and success.  

Answer 3

I've read that book and I absolutely loved it! :) But to be honest, there would not really be enough room for me to type out my interpretation of the book, so, I wasn't sure if you have already checked these two sites yet, but here's some that pretty well explained the book in the least confusing way.  (At least I thought so.)

This site has a table of contents of stuff that you can learn about the book (including a plot overview, key facts, etc.).

And this site is basically the same, a free study guide, though I've found the Plot synopsis (short summary) is a little easier to understand.):

Hope this helps!
