1.These lessons include insight about regrets and forgiveness, culture and death.
would also include some of the lessons Morrie and Mitch talked about. Maybe including how Mitch's life is different from Morrie's life and how they see things differently.

Example:
Mitch asks Morrie about a 'perfect day' and what he, refering to Morrie, would do on that day. Mitch thinks of meeting famous people, traveling all over the world, etc..

Morrie, however, thinks a perfect day is spending time with old friends, going to a quote lunch, etc...

2he is saying if you want some real rsponsibility children does that....and i do not fully agree responsibility can be so man different things paying bills on time, work and how good you do it ,,,but the ultimate would be having to care for another human being
3i agree marriage is about commitment and it is so much easier when you are on the same channel with the person you are married to that you both agree on how to raise the children...and on your values

4life is precious and we take people in our life for granted so when you have the chance to sit and look at your life it is not all about work and money it is about family and friends

I read the book a long time ago but just for classroom's sake, this is the basic theme:

It's a true story about this guy name Mitch who is some kind of corporate bigwig. He's all wrapped up in work and money. He's single but has a girlfriend. He finds out that his fave. prof. is sick and he is quickly dying. He goes to visit him and soon it becomes a ritual of visiting him every Tuesday. Morrie's begins to inspire him again the way he did when Mitch was a bright eyed student. Mitch starts to have memories of how he was when he was a kid, full of hope and inspiration.
Morrie begins to lose his motor functions and Mitch is amazed at all of the views he has in life. He teaches him to treasure every moment and to appreciate the important things in life like family and love. Mitch realizes that he has been running around like a chicken without a head and starts re-evaluate his motives in life.
By the end of the book, Morrie croaks and Mitch marries his girlfriend.

little side-note-after he book was published, Morrie became kinda famous and turned back into the overly worked and power hungered fiend that he was before...critics have said.

If you don't want to read it, you can rent the movie. They actually did make the book into a movie.
