I really enjoyed watching the video of Morrie's interview because it's kind of cool to read a book all about this guy and then be able to watch a real life interview and see the real him. In the interview I was very surprised at how happy he seemed. He acted completely normal, like nothing were wrong with him and i find it amazing that he could do that. If you look at people our age, they act very down even when they are sick, but Morrie is full of life and joy even though he has a crippling disease that he already knows will eventually kill him.
In the interview Mitch (?) say that Morrie is "fluid and free with feeling." and after watching the interview you can see that. I was very surprised with the similarity of Morrie in the book compared to the video. He talks the same way, says the same things, and amazingly that is sort of the image i had in my mind of him. Overall I liked the interview.

Glad you liked it Seth. He is amazing, not only for someone his age, but for someone who is going through what he has had to deal with. It has to be difficult for him (although he doesn't appear to be the type of person who would outwardly let that type of thing bother him) but he keeps his eye on the prize and puts all his energy into what's important, focusing on the time he DOES have instead of wasting his time being hateful about all the time he no longer has. Good attitude for him and anyone else who would subscribe to this kind of philosophy.
