Tuesdays with Morrie Writing Prompt:  

Morrie's colleague’s funeral has a powerful effect on Morrie. Morrie comments about what a waste a funeral is because a person is already dead and cannot hear the nice stories and comments people are sharing. As an alternative, Morrie throws himself a “living funeral.” He invites friends and family over one day so they can pay tribute to him while he is still alive to appreciate it.

What is your opinion on Morrie's idea of a "living funeral"? If you were to someday have a “living funeral” like Morrie, what would you want people to say about you and your life?

• Your response should be one page in length, single-spaced typed.
• Showcase your best writing ability at this point in grade seven.
