123 190 Of the very many things which Albom learned from Morrie, what was perhaps the most clear? The clearest lesson which Morrie taught Albom was that ‘there is no such thing as “too late”’. This was made clear by Morrie in his own life as he was evolving and changing right until the end.

Chapter Twenty-Five (Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom)

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE – Graduation.
121 187 With the end near, Morrie’s entire family gathered around him before he died on the fourth of November. Despite their best attempts, Morrie died at a moment when the entire family was out of the room. Albom believes that Morrie did this deliberately. Why did he think this? Albom believed that Morrie waited for the moment when he was all alone to die deliberately because he did not want anyone to witness the event and be haunted in the same way that he was after his mother’s death.
122 188 The funeral was held on a damp and windy morning in front of a small select group of well wishes despite many more wanting to attend. After the funeral, Albom tried to hold a conversation with Morrie in his head in the way in which his old friend had wanted. Albom found it remarkably natural before noticing something which explained this. What did Albom notice? Albom noticed that it was a Tuesday, which accounted for how natural their conversation was.

Chapter Twenty-Four (Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom)

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR – The Fourteenth Tuesday We Say Good-bye.
118 181 The day before the pair’s fourteenth Tuesday together, what did Charlotte phone Albom to tell him? Before their fourteenth Tuesday together, Charlotte phoned Albom to tell him that ‘Morrie wasn’t doing well’. Albom correctly interpreted this message to mean that Morrie had now reached his final days.
119 182 When Albom arrived to see Morrie, he was forced to wait sometime alone. Why was this? Albom was forced to wait sometime alone because, highly uncharacteristically, Morrie was still asleep when he arrived to see him.
120 184 When Albom was finally told that he could see Morrie, he discovered that he was still in bed and unshaven. Albom realised with horror that it was time to say goodbye to his dear friend, however he couldn’t think of a way to do it. Albom pre-empted this. How did he say good-bye? Morrie told Albom that the way ‘we say good-bye’ is by saying ‘I love you’.

Chapter Twenty-Three (Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom)

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE – The Thirteenth Tuesday We Talk About the perfect day.
112 171 After some deliberation, Morrie and Charlotte decided that cremation would be the best option. Who did they decide should conduct the funeral service? Charlotte and Morrie decided that Al Axelrad, the rabbi from Brandeis and a lifelong friend, should conduct the funeral service.
113 172 During their thirteenth Tuesday together, Morrie found himself heavily fatigued. Why was this? Morrie was not sleeping very well and consequentially found himself fatigued during the day. He would only be able to get a couple of hours sleep before he would wake up in a severe coughing fit and would require assistance from one of his carers before trying to get back to sleep.
114 174 There had been a development in the treatment of ALS however this new treatment would not be available to Morrie. Why was this? The new treatment would not be available for Morrie because he was ‘too far gone’ and the medication wouldn’t even be ready for some time.
115 175 With his condition rapidly worsening, Albom asked Morrie what he would do if, miraculously, he was granted twenty-four hours respite. How did Morrie answer this question? Morrie told Albom that he would have what might appear like a rather ‘normal’ day. He simply wished to wake up, have breakfast do a little exercise before entertaining friends and family. After a walk in the afternoon, Morrie would spend his evening dining and dancing with his friends and family.
116 176-178 Before Albom left the house, Morrie asked if he could bring up a delicate topic. What was this? Morrie brought up the subject of Peter, Albom’s brother, who was still refusing to see him. He suggested that it may be because Peter didn’t want Albom to make any sacrifice.
117 180 Morrie told Albom a story about two waves in the ocean, one of whom was concerned that he, like all other waves, would soon crash and from then on be nothing. How did the second wave in Morrie’s story comfort the first. The second wave in Morrie’s story comforted the first by telling it that it was confused. ‘You’re not a wave; you are part of the ocean’.

17 14 Whilst he was living in New York, Albom had his first ‘serious encounter with death’. What was this?

Chapter Seven (Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom)

CHAPTER SEVEN – Taking Attendance
34 41 A few weeks after his reunion with Morrie, Albom flew to London to cover a sporting event. Which event was this and what did he think of it? The sporting event which Albom flew to London to cover was Wimbledon. Albom liked the event very much because the crowds never booed and people were never drunk in the car park.
35 42 On his previous visits to England, Albom had enjoyed reading the tabloid newspapers which covered nothing but mindless gossip and thoughtless news articles. On this visit, however, every time he read anything silly or mindless he found himself thinking about Morrie. Why was this? Every time Albom read anything silly or mindless he found himself thinking about Morrie because whilst his former professor was spending every last minute in pain, with the people he loved, Albom was wasting his time on things which didn’t matter in the slightest.
37 44 After several weeks covering the tennis in Wimbledon, Albom returned to Detroit only to be greeted by a shocking piece of news. What was this? When Albom returned to Detroit he discovered that the unions at his newspaper had gone out on strike. As a member of the union, Albom was left with no choice but to join them.
38 44-45 Three days into the strike and the rumour began to circulate that the industrial action would likely last for months. Faced with the prospect of a prolonged period off work, what did Albom do? Faced with the prospect of months off work, Albom phoned Morrie. After a conversation, the two decided that Albom should again pay his former professor a visit. The two decided that Tuesday would be most suitable.
39 47 Whilst he was at college, Albom’s father wanted his son to train as a lawyer after he graduated whilst Albom wanted to pursue his dream of playing piano professionally. What did Morrie think about this? Morrie ‘hated lawyers’ and, though he believed the life of a musician was a hard one, thought that Albom would find a way of making his dream come true if he wanted it enough.
