![]() These memories are primarily focused on his interactions with Morrie. ![]() As the book progresses and depicts how Mitch and Morrie's relationship grows, we're asked to consider where the student/teacher relationship exists, what the relationship consists of, and to what extent a teacher can affect change on his or her students' lives.Įach of the Tuesday meetings is preceded, and sometimes also followed, by one of Mitch's memories from when he was in college. The book takes its structure from Morrie's "class" syllabus – each week/chapter is a lecture in Morrie’s class on death – and focuses not just on what is taught but on the teacher/student relationship developing between the two men. The entirety of the text, then, is centered around the idea of teaching and learning. At various times throughout the book, Mitch describes the book he's written as a "long paper" or a final thesis, written for the final “class” – a class containing only Mitch – that his dying college professor, Morrie, will teach. ![]()
