Reply to "Holden Back the Tears"

This book seems somewhat interesting. I like Tuesdays With Morrie better so far, but I can't judge so quickly. I guess I'll see how much I like The Catcher in the Rye when I read more. After three chapters, I already like Holden. It seems as if he doesn't care that people don't like him, but he does. It's interesting to be inside Holden's head and read every thought he has. As for the author J.D. Salinger, I'd like to say his writing style is unique. He also seems to be very old, and he could be dead because he lives in solitude. We might not even know! I understand why he doesn't see the sunlight though...

Assignment 1/26 Movie/Book

So, we watched the movie today in class, and I was disappointed. The movie was not like how I would want it to be. The actor playing Morrie doesn't portray him as good as I would have thought. I picture Morrie different and it messed with my imaginitive juices. I also thought Mitch would look different. That's why I don't really like watching movies of books that I read. The interview part in the movie took parts of the real interview in it. It made the movie interview almost authentic when it showed the same thing in the real one about Morrie getting his back rubbed and patted on. The movie focuses more on Mitch's personal life like being married to his wife, Janine. In the book so far, it's in there, but it's not the main part of the story. Most of the plot was the same though as far as Mitch always being busy. The segment when Mitch is in the car compares well with the scene in the book. There are a lot of parts that are similar, and parts that are different that I don't like. We can't have all that we want though can we? Especially when the company that made it works for Oprah Winfrey! :)

Is this a blog? Morrie interview assignment..

I enjoyed watching this interview. It was interesting to hear things that he wanted done for him. Morrie wanted people to call him and go to movies with him. He didn't care if they were done or not. He just liked that he had his family and he lived with love. It was sad to see that he didn' t look good, but he didn't care. He still had his mental health, and he used it to help others.
It was nice to get another visual of Morrie besides the picture of him dancing. I just pictured a generous, old person. When the lady was lightly hitting his back and moving his arm skin it made me sad. People all over the world, including me, take little things for granted. So far I've enjoyed this book, and I can't wait to finish it!
