Morris's Aphorisms In Tuesdays With Morrie

This was because of what Morrie said about asking the bird on his shoulder "Is this the day I die?". I thought of this as a important thing in the book. On the page that had the second aphorism was my drawing of a bird. I tried my best to draw the best bird possible but it ended up looking pretty bad.

I took it personally and I decided to keep the bird because I would have felt guilty if I did. On the front cover I picked a picture that I feel that Morrie would enjoy. Since he loved to dance i wanted to have a picture of him happy on the front cover of my
