5) How does Mitch feel about his life as it reflects his attitude toward materialism? Mitch puts emphasis on material items instead of what is really important, and sometimes forgets to give what money cannot buy; love, kindness, and time. Mitch is now realizing that after all of the time he spent focusing on money and work, he still has not found true happiness. After thinking about it, i think that Mitch once again notices all of the wonderful things that he has missed out on because he didn't stop for one moment and ask himself, "What do I really hope to achieve in the future?" I think that in this chapter Morrie's lessons are finally sinking in and Mitch is understanding their true meaning. 6) Describe the wealth that surrounds Morrie. To Morrie, it doesn't matter how much money he has in his bank account or if he has the "new thing". He has everything he needs in this house; friendship, love, community, and so on. Morrie knows now more than ever that you don't need at tv, you need food, love, shelter, and clothing. Morrie cares for others and in return they care for him. He gets his greatest satisfaction in "offering others what you have to give." 7) According to the According to the quote on page 129 by Mahatma Gandhi, does one have to die to be reborn? Explain. You don't need to die to be reborn. If you see sleep as an eraser, getting rid of the past day, then waking up is a blank slate. You have another chance to make everything you did wrong right. I think that this quote is important to everyone because you can't dwell on everything in your past, sometimes you just need to start fresh.
