Okay. So, I know that last week for my Post “B”, I did the significance of a quote that I liked. In this section, there is another quote that I absolutely adore too. So I just had to explain its significance because I liked it so much.
Here is the quote: “The whole time I know him, I have two overwhelming desires: to hug him and to give him a napkin” (pg 31). When I read this quote, I just started laughing out loud. It was so funny that Mitch felt so differently about this teacher that he loved. Earlier in the chapter, Mitch talks about how Morrie was a total slob, even worse than he was. Mitch loved this teacher so much that he just wanted to hug him. Also that he just enjoyed his teacher’s company so much. They would even eat lunch together and go out and once in a while spend time on the weekends together. Mitch loved his teacher so much, that all he could think to do to show Morrie that was to go up to him and give him a hug. It wasn’t the only thing Mitch wanted to give him though. And Mitch knows what he’s talking about when he says Morrie is an awful slob. He eats with Morrie often, so he knows how Mitch acts at the table. He talks when he should be chewing, and many other things like that. In this situation, all Mitch can think to do is simply give him a napkin. This was an incredibly funny quote to me. You can love someone very much, but also have fun and joke around with them. If they are really that special, then they won’t mind. They will still love you right back.
