Response To Tuesdays with Maurie

     The book Tuesdays With Maurie was one of the best books that I have ever read. Not only does it give the reader a positive way to go about life, but it implies morals to them as well. Unfortunately in our society good morals are rare. Most people are selfish, conceited, and only willing to help themselves. This is only because of the fact that humans are naturally selfish. However, Maurie shows that not everyone has to be like that. He shows love and compassion to everyone in his life; his students, children, late wife, and even strangers walking down the street.
      I personally like this book because I feel like I'm very similar to Maurie. When it comes to my friends and family, I go out of my way to try and make people smile and show them that I care about them. This makes me feel good about myself, knowing that I can make someones day just a little bit better.
