'Prompts:
1- Explain the aphorism in detail. what was Morrie's main message?
2- Relate the aphorism to a movie, song, historical event, current event, personal experience, etc. and explain in detail how the example you have chosen relates to the aphorism.
3- Evaluate the aphorism by explaining why you agree/disagree with it. Give specific reasons for your position and specific evidence from the text to support your position.
4- Take a picture of your aphorism to use as your graphic.
5- Include your own aphorism regarding life.
"...Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone." (p.133) This aphorism impacted me a lot. I never really thought about how or who would remember my legacy after I passed away. Now I know love is how I stay alive. This means that the bonds you make with other people is what you will be remembered by. The love you give out and receive is how you will be remembered. This aphorism ties in with many other aphorisms. Morrie main message is that you should give out love and let it come in so that you can not only be remembered, but also so you that your legacy that you have left behind also lives. This is what I think this aphorism means.
The person I related this aphorism to is Robin Williams. I related this to him because he
made lots of people happy. He was a comedian and played in many movies. There is this one movie that I remember specifically. He was supposedly a doctor, but instead he made children laugh. Those children had cancer. As I remember, he was tried in court for something serious. The chidlren in the hospital went to him to court and as he left he left with a smile. He left with a smile because he saw that the children's hair was growing back. Slowly but surely, their hair began to grow back. Later, he died in jail. All of the children were now cancer free because of his actions. Even though he died he lived in their hearts forever just like how the aphorism states,"...Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone." (p.133)
I agree with the aphorism, "...Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone." (p.133) I agree with it because its true. Every person is remembered by love. That could either be positive or negative. If you always gave out love and always let it come in you would be remembered in a positive way. If you never gave out love and never let it come in you would be remembered negatively by many people. Maybe your family members wouldn't remember you that negatively. Love always manages to stay alive. This also ties in with the aphorism, "Death ends a life, not a relationship." If you love enough and you let people love you enough you will survive one way or another.
