The irony of the Trial of the Century was that Morrie was just normally going to the bathroom while the whole world was watching the television with wide eyes and was thought of a huge moment for the country. Morrie did not care about this moment at all. This makes a connection because his life and the trial are both ending. This evidence from the book shows that Morrie doesn't care about drama or crazy things, he just cares about the people he loves and trusts before he dies. The 1979 basketball game reflects on Morrie as a person because it shows that Morrie is such a humble and thoughtful person and he thinks that it is not about being number one or winning, it is the fun and happiness that matters most.
In the tenth Tuesday, Mitch thinks that in his generation everyone struggles with marriage because of commitment. Whenever he meets his friends they will also come across the topic of getting tired of marriage, divorce, or even ended up being with someone else. He has also experienced this because of waiting many years until to finally propose to his girlfriend. He starts to wonder why his generation has tough problems with commitment and asks Morrie why.
Morrie then tells Mitch very important things about marriage, and feels bad for Mitch and his generation. He teaches Mitch that it is very important to carefully love someone and to never stop loving others around you, because the culture doesn't give you that. Morrie even thinks that people in Mitch's generation marry, when they haven't even found out about a lot of each other. Morrie then teaches Mitch his rules for love and marriage. How Love Goes On When Morrie and Mitch meet again on their ninth Tuesday, Morrie explains how love goes on and this is true. In my family, I experience how love goes on because when I lost my grandmother, it was very sad for the whole family, but even though she is not physically there, we will always keep her in our hearts. We remember her and think about her and we realize that even when she is not with us, our love for her goes on. Another reason why I believe this statement is true is that when I was little I used to be on a swim team, and I loved it so much, but as I got older, I didn't have enough time for that and I had to stop, but even though I don't swim competitively today, I still go to the beach and pools, and watch the swimmers on the Olympics, and that is how my love still goes on for swimming. As Morrie said in the book, it is true that love goes on in anything, because love is one of the most powerful things in the world, that no one can stop.
