synthesis

Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Album and The Human Touch by Spencer Michael Free have great similarities. In Tuesdays with Morrie, Morrie is diagnosed with ALS, a muscle wasting disease. Morrie teaches Mitch valuable life lessons on the things in life that matter the most such as love, family, aging, and death. As Morrie’s disease worsened he became reliant on other people to take care of him which allowed him to relate to being a child and he received “the human touch” which he craved so genuinely. “Tis the human touch in this world that counts” reflects on how Morrie feels about how the human race should be. Morrie believes that people should be less greedy and materialistic and lend a helping hand to someone once in a while.
