Group Reflection
Monday
25: Today I realized how hard it was to work alone specialy on the first day,
if I miss a day I will try to make sure that I tell them so I can still do the
work. Also today I was talked with a friend a bit, next time I will try not to
sit with friends because I know that I can be distracted specially when I have
not seen them in over a month.
Wednesday
27: Today our group got together and
discussed the themes of the book, it is important for all of us to keep reading
because otherwise if someone does not reed it will affect the group. As well we
discussed the theme of positivity which is shown when Morrie is told about his
illness but even though he knows he is going to die he does not let time pass
him by.
Thursday
28: Today we discussed the themes seen in this part of the book, one thim that
some members of my group including me could relate to is the feeling of seeing
someone that is your friend after a long time, that moment when you remember
the special connection you have with that person. This is seen in the book when
Mitch and Morrie reunite for the first time after Mitch had graduated. We also
discussed how when you reunited with a person who you have not seen in a long
time you start talking about what has happened in your life.
Overall
I believe that we worked well today, we managed to discuss in detail the
section of the book that we were assigned to read, as we worked well and fast,
in a efficient manner we were able to gather time to brainstorm about ideas
which we could make the commercial about so when we have to do the commercial
we can have several ideas in which our commercial can be based.
Group discussion
Wednesday
27: So far in the book showed the theme of positivity, this is showed when
Morrie is told by doctors that he has only 2 years left, even though that body
was deteriorating he always maintained a positive attitude.
We can
connect the book with our school because in the book Morrie had a living
funeral which consisted of a gathering of people which had a purpose of telling
Morrie how they felt towards him. In the school when people leave or graduate
many of them gave a gathering in which friends and loved ones get together and
express how they feel towards them.
Thursday
28: When Mitch saw Morrie in his middle of his business conversation he
keep talking and when he was done he went to talk with morrie, it looks as if
Mitch fell ashamed of letting Morrie, his friend, his teacher, wait over a
business call.
-Mitch has a chaotic life, everything
has a schedual
-Morrie tells that Mitch is a nice
person but Mitch feels he is wrong, this shows how Mitch feels that he has
changed, he is not the same person who went to Morrie’s class.
-When he is very workaholic
-Mitch gets depressed since he never
accomplished to achieve his dreams of being famous, moreover for a living he
rights about famous athletes.
-For the past 6 years he was only
thinking about his job and earning money but once his company broke he realized
that he now had time to do several things that when working he would not be
able to do.
