Much literature reflects the struggle of the individual to cope with or overcome threatening forces.

Consider what author Mitch Ablom has to say about the individual in the midst of threatening forces in his memoir, Tuesdays With Morrie. You are going to focus on ONE symbol in the novel that ties together what he has to say.

In your presentation, you must do the following:

  • Slide 1: Choose ONE of the symbols in Tuesdays With Morrie. Explain in a paragraph of at least 200 words, how this symbol ties together the memoir. Why is it important?
  • Slides 2-6: FIVE sets of quotations, that reference your chosen symbol, from the memoir illustrated by photos. (One set per slide.)
  • Slides 7-11: What does EACH of the quotations, which references your chosen symbol, add to the memoir? Discuss each one separately in at least three sentences.
  • Slides 12-16: Why did you choose EACH one of the photos that you did? Discuss each one separately in at least three sentences. 
  • Slide 17: Why did you place your images in the order that you did?  What effect you were you attempting to achieve? Discuss in a paragraph of at least three sentences.
  • Slide 18: How does this symbol illustrate the individual in the midst of threatening forces? Provide a thesis statement to answer the question, "What idea does author Mitch Albom develop regarding an individual's capacity to prevail over threatening forces?" Explain your thesis in a paragraph of at least three sentences.
