“Tuesdays with Morrie” is a memoir by Mitch Albom that tells the story of his genuine relationship with his old college professor, Morrie. After separating, a while later Mitch finds out that Morrie is dying and thus they reconnect and visit every Tuesday. During these nice visits, they discuss simple but deep topics like love, death, family and work. Morrie passes on his wisdom to Mitch about how to be grateful and the meaning of life.
When the ceremony is over, we threw our caps in the air and we are officially graduated from college, the senior class of Brandeis University in the city of Waltham, Massachusetts. For many of us, the curtain had just come down on childhood.
I think the saying “the curtain had just come down on childhood.” means that it feels like Mitch has officially ended his child like self after having graduated from college.
