1.Mitch does not have a deep connection with his brother the same way he has with Morrie. Morrie and Mitch have an almost father-son relationship, which allows them to be open and honest with each other, and establish a deep connection. Mitch and his brother are not that connected, and there was a sort of tension between the two.

2.As Morrie gets closer and closer to death he has resigned himself to become more and more detached from the real world. He knows his time on Earth is limited, and so he is trying to slowly become less attached to it, and prepare himself for death. Morrie is not only physically dying, he is preparing himself spiritually and mentally for it.

It differed from Morrie because as Morrie is sick nitch becomes closer to him but Mitch just grew farther from his brother when he was sick with cancer.

Mitch detaches from the experience by taking it all in and understanding that at any point he could die

1. Mitch's brother does not want to interact with other people as he is suffering but instead wants to hide out in Europe. Meanwhile, Morrie loves having lots of people around him and does not want to be alone.

2. Morrie detaches himself from "the experience" by mentally preparing himself for dying. He knows he is physically ready because his body is acting like it is almost done, but I think he is surviving for his spirit. Once Morrie is mentally prepared and ready to die, his body will be more than ready to give up and let him peacefully die.

1.  When Mitch's brother was ill he didn't want any help from or interaction with his family.  Mitch tried to make a connection, but his brother didn't want one.  When Morrie is sick he enjoys his interaction with people.  Mitch makes a strong connection with Morrie.

2. By detaching himself Morrie can overcome the feeling and fears related to his death and simply enjoy life.

1. Mitch's brother wanted to fight his illness entirely by himself and wouldnt even let his family see him. He barely kept i touch for them not exactly caring that it was just as hard for his family as it was for him. With Morrie, Mitch can visit him, feel comfort in comforting Morrie as well as see the process, despite how painful it is to see. Mitch never even got to see his brother.

1. Mitch realizes that he doesn't have a good relationship with his brother but he has a better one with Morrie. The close bond he has formed with Morrie allows them to have a good relationship

2. It helped Morrie to detach himself from the experience because he knows that he's going to die soon and is trying to detatched himself from the world so he won't miss it as much and will be ready to die

1. Mitch do not have a strong relationship with his brother. Mitch's brother does not show the need to have Mitch's presence next to him, while Morrie wants Mitch near him. Morrie loves to have conversation with people and love to share his feelings with others, especially with MItch.

2. Morrie is taking up courage to face the reality of death. He is strengthening his soul and getting ready to die.

1. Mitch’s interaction with his brother during his fight with cancer was very different from his interaction with Morrie. Mitch’s brother shut him and the rest of his family out while he was fighting the cancer. He refused to allow them to see him while he was in a fragile state, and would not even respond to voicemails. Because Mitch felt guilty that he was not the one who was sick, and the fact that his brother was not allowing him and his family any contact, he fell into his work more and more. With Morrie, Mitch reflects on life and becomes distant from his work, not making it his number one priority at every point of the day.
2. Morrie detaches himself from the experience by mentally and spiritually preparing himself to die, because he knows it is unavoidable. His body is physically preparing to die, so he is preparing himself by detaching from the world and just reflecting on his life and life in general.

when Mitch's brother was ill with cancer he secluded himself from others and didnt want to see his family including Mitch. Mitch didnt ever have a chance to really talk to him or see him while he was dying and Mitch regrets it. Now with Morrie MItch can actually talk to him and help him through it and he wont loose contact so he has nothing to feel guilty about.

 It helps Morrie to detach himself from his dying experience because no one wants to remember all the time that they are dying. They already feel it because their body is sick and Morrie wants to forget about it. I would feel the same way. 

1) Mitch's brother did not want his family to see him and he wanted to fight the illness he had by himself. Also Mitch realizes that he has a better relationship with Morrie than his own brother.

2) it helps Morrie to detach from this experience becase he knows if he detached himself from the world, it will be easier to not miss it as much. He knows he is dying soon so it makes it easier for him.

1. Although Mitch and his brother were brothers and theoretically expected to be closer, they weren't. they didnt have the special type of connection that Mitch and Morrie currently share.

2. Morrie simply sees that if he begins to 'detach' himself from life he can be better prepared the death that he will soon face
