Creative+writing

Rational:

I chose to do a creative writing piece for my Tuesdays with Morrie project, because it is a creative way for me to show how I feel about this book it also allows me to show what this book has taught me in a new and interesting way. This creative writing project can be done in a number of ways; I have chosen to do two different creative writing pieces. The first one you will see is the “How to list” and the second one you will see is the “Top Ten list.”

How to live Happily with ALS

Hello everyone out there in those God-awful wheel chairs due to ALS, are you looking to enjoy you last days as I did? Do you want to have the one person that you remember, even after you haven’t seen them in about sixteen years, to be with you? Well, your in luck I am here to let you in on my secret to a happy ending. Who am I you ask? Well I am the famous Morrie Schwartz.

1.) If you want to be happy you mush have some kid that you know and remember very well, but he barley remembers you, come to your house once a week. (Preferably on a Tuesday, who aren’t Tuesday people?) 2.) In order to let it be known that you are still alive, but only barely, you need to get on the nightline show. 3.) If you want to keep your friend coming over, then you have to give him perfectly good advice on how to live his life, even if you know that he will only listen out of politeness and will never use it. 4.) If you are looking to be happy while living with ALS, then why don’t you just follow the advice that I give to Mitch. If what you want is to live happy the simply ignore all those people that make you unhappy. 5.) In order for you to be happy while living with ALS you have to learn to forgive others for what they have done to you even if it’s the worst thing possible. You have to learn to forgive before you can forget 6.) Being happy on your last days can be important, one way to make sure you are happy is to make sure you get the chance to say good-bye to all those people you love. 7.) Being dependent on someone can be a quick end to your happiness. Stay happy and don’t become dependent on people too fast let it take its slow tool on you. 8.) Be sure that you let other know how happy you are that they came to see you, be sure you know that they don’t have to be there, so don’t make them mad. 9.) The last tip I have for you, that will help you live a happy with ALS, is you don’t need to hang onto long but you don’t need to let go too soon. Because you either way you do it it’s going to hurt the ones you love. If you hang on too long it will be torcher for you to see them, but if you let go too soon they will feel like they didn’t have time to say good-bye.
