- 8871: Tuesdays With Morrie
- ... Morrie Tuesdays with Morrie is the most phenomenal piece of literature that I have ever read. There is not an adjective vibrant enough to explain how unbelievingly inspiring this bestseller is to read. Mitch Albom's Tuesday visits with his old professor, Morrie Scwartz, made me realize that people are too worried about what their possessions and don't care about life itself.

She fell in love with Romeo Montague, the enemy. She had to "sneak out" to the balcony late at night so she can talk to her Romeo. She has made no mention of ... all, she had to kill herself to live with Romeo for the rest of her life, which is what she wanted. A plan was devised, where Juliet would appear dead, and wake up in Romeo's arms. But with bad communication problems, that was impossible. Juliet faked her death, but Romeo thought she was actually dead, so he killed himself. By waking up, Juliet finds out that Romeo died and ...

Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs/ Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud,"(21-23) shows us that so many men were brutally killed during this war. Also, when the gas bomb was dropped, "[s]omeone still yelling out and stumbling/ [a]nd flound'ring like a man in fire or lime.../ [h]e plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning."(11-12,16) These compelling lines indicate that men ...
