Mitch and Morrie enjoy several different types of relationships over the course of their acquaintance. Initially, Morrie was Mitch's college professor. Although the two were quite close, they grew apart as Mitch moved from the Boston area to Detroit and started a hectic adult life as a sports writer.
Years later, Mitch sees Morrie on an evening news program. Morrie has permitted cameras to film his late-stage battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Mitch initially reaches back out to Morrie to rekindle a friendship, and perhaps with an eye toward approaching Morrie from a journalistic standpoint. As they meet on Tuesdays, however, Morrie transforms back into his old teaching role. In this "class", however, Morrie is not teaching Mitch about a specific content area, but is, rather, imparting life wisdom that he has gained over the years. It is this wisdom that forms the crux of the book.
