- As you read the story, ask yourself: How would you behave if you were Mitch? How would you feel visiting someone and building a friendship with someone whom you knew was dying?
- Contrast Morrie's ideas about life with your own. How are they similar? How are they different?
- Do you think it's possible to come to Morrie's understanding of life while you're alive and healthy?
- If you were to find out, like Morrie, that you only had a few months left to live, what would you do? What would you change about your life and what would you want to be the same?
- Think about the impact that Morrie has on Mitch's life. Is it a good argument for the fact we, as humans, need one another?
