Have a Little Faith By Mitch Albom (Summary 1)

"Will you write my eulogy," (pg 3.) That isn't a question you often hear. This nonfiction story is all about Mitch Albom and how this one question changed his life. He was Jewish but wasn't deeply religious. He went to temple like most do and that is where he met a rabbi. He had seen him there often and saw he was one of the only kids paying attention. One day out of the blue, he asked Albom to write his eulogy. Albom didn't know what to say....he barley even knew the guy. It is like a stranger coming up to you and saying will you speak at my funeral. I can only imagine the reaction and questions going through his head. Is the rabbi dying?,is something going to happen?, why did he asked me? These are only some of the big questions i would assume he is thinking of. Mitch may have been young but he was smart. He wasn't going to write a eulogy for someone he barely knew. He wanted to get to know him before he made any decisions. It is a very awkward situation after all. Even if he is going to get to know the guy what will he ask him. he isn't going to say something like what is your last will and testament. Most people including myself wouldn't have the courage to agree to do this for someone you hardly know at first but later on will probably become friend with before they dies. In most cases and books if you hang out with someone long enough and they aren't the bag guy, you will become friends with them. Imagine standing at a funeral for your friend speaking about them for the last time. When you agreed your feelings wouldn't be as powerful as they are in the end. You have gained a friend...but lost one too...and if he soesn't think this through, he might regret it.
