I am currently on page 91, and basically what I have read so far is that it is another semester the the university where Morrie has been currently teaching. But due to his illness, Morrie is more weak than he has ever been in his life, So he isn't able to move around without using a wheelchair. Know he spends his reamaing days on earth talking about his past and giving advice to the younger generation. Basically he and Mitch were discussing children and does he regret having them. Morrie said, "There is no other experience like having children"! He also was saying how if he could relive the process, he would do it again and again. I have a couple of predictions about what is to further come in the book. I believe that as time goes on and Morrie's illness starts to take its toll, Morrie will still try and make the best of his remaining time left on the earth becuase the illness takes his life, Morrie doesn't need to be active to have fun, Morrie likes to write and talk, and as long as he has Mitch to talk to, I'll think that he will be just fine.
I am actually suprised on how Morrie is dealing with his illness. It touches me becuase, when he found out he was sick and probably going to die, he had second thoughts on life, and continued to do his daily ruitine, it was almost like he didn't have hi illness. Morrie didn't feal like God had forgotten him, he accepted that everyone was going to die at somepoint, and his was just a little bit sooner than everyone elses, and he has accepted that. He said a quote that really got me thinking, and that was once people accept the fact that thy are going to die, they can start living. And this quote to me was people think too much about when and how they are going to die, but once you accept the fact and son't care how you are going to die, you can make the best of your life and do the things you were probably originally not planned to do.
