Question

Please summarize “The Tenth Tuesday”

Answer 1

Morrie can no longer eat any of the food Mitch brings him, as he is restricted to a diet of liquids. His condition is drastically worse, as the disease has reached his lungs, which he had always said would mark his death. He is now reliant on an oxygen tank, and suffers violent, hour-long coughing spells, each a serious threat to his life.

Mitch brings his wife, Janine, with him to meet Morrie. Morrie had been asking to meet Janine since his first meetings with Mitch. One night, Morrie had been on the phone with Mitch, and he had asked to speak to Janine. Janine had taken the phone and conversed with Morrie as if they had been friends for many years, though they had never spoken before. Mitch thought that had he been put in her position, forced to speak on the phone with a complete stranger, he would have refused to take the call. When Janine had finished her conversation with Morrie, she announced that she would be joining Mitch on his next trip to Boston to meet his professor.

Answer 2

Answer: I hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

In the twentieth chapter of tuesdays with Morrie, called The Tenth Tuesday, Albom’s wife, Janine, is introduced for the first time when both her and Albom go to visit Morrie. When there, Janine, to Albom’s surprise, sings to Morrie when asks about her singing profession. Morrie and Albom then discuss Marriage, the topic of this chapter. Morrie talks about the need for a partner in today’s culture, “[they don’t know what they want in a partner. They don’t know who they are themselves---so how can they know who they’re marrying?” Albom then describes Morrie and his wife, Charlotte, and how they were a team, how their relationship flowed with unconditional love. Then Morrie describes the few rules he knows about Marriage, finishing with his faithful quote, “[l]ove each other or perish.” They then have a short discussion about the book of Job, and Morrie comments that God overdid it when allowing Job to suffer. Morrie’s thoughts on this voice his opinion about his own suffering as he waits to die. The story of Job also ties into Marriage, because Job goes through much agony after losing everything, including his wife and children.
