Who Moved My Cheese Summary

I most identify with Hem and Haw, they are two little people. They are happy at first doing what comes naturally and eating what is in front of them. As time goes on the cheese begins to lessen and they eventually have no cheese, but they wait to see if more cheese will appear. When no cheese appears they eventually go out into the maze looking for more but are afraid to venture to far from the place the original cheese was. I feel I most identify wit Hem and Haw because they are afraid

When Hannah was heading to Salem she reached a fork in the road, but Promise helped her because he knew the way. This reminded me of the movie Alice In Wonderland because when Alice was on her journey she also reached a fork in the road. But just like Promise, someone helped Alice continue her journey through Wonderland.

As Hulga dried her tears, she tried to grasp the situation she was in. She hated herself for having a weak heart because she wouldn’t be able to leave the barn be herself. She thought of her options. Her first option was to hope that Mrs. Freeman and her Mom would notice her absence and go and look for her. Her second option was that someone would come to the barn for hay. Her final option was to attempt to leave the barn under her own power. As she thought more and more about someone finding her, she realized how unlikely anyone would ever discover her. While Hulga pondered the idea of climbing down the ladder with a bad heart and one leg, she heard soft sound of footsteps on the hay littering the barn floor below her.

Wiesner takes the pigs and the readers to places "inside" the book and to other stories that they have never seen before. As the pigs climb out of the story and into the whiteness of the pages, they "fly" to new unknown places. After visiting the cat and the fiddle and the cow jumping over the moon they quickly escape only to find a great dragon about to be slain by a handsome prince. Having had enough excitement for one day and gained two new friends, the dragon and the cat with her fiddle, they decide to return home. Carefully gathering the pages of the story they realize the wolf is still at the front door of the third little pig's house. As he huffs and puffs, their new friend, the dragon, gently pokes his head outside the door messing up the words on the page, frightening the mean old wolf away. Inside the safe brick home the three pigs, the cat, and the dragon all sit around smiling as the one little pig carefully puts the remaining letters onto the end of the story, "And they all lived happily ever aft..."

Haw decided now was time to move on and find new cheese and he started getting ready to leave and tried to persuade his friend to go with him. "As Hem saw his friend getting into his running gear, he said, "You're not really going out into the Maze again, are you? Why don't you just wait here with me until they put the Cheese back?" "Because, you just don't get it," Haw said. "I didn't want to see it either, but now I realize they're never going to put yesterday's Cheese back. It's time to find New Cheese." Haw now realizes that changes will take place and he must move with the change and react to it positively.

Conversely, Haw is an optimistic character who anticipates and accepts change. After resisting change in the first phase together with Hem, he decides to follow his instincts and venture into the maze alone. Along with his adventures, he writes his experiences and observations on the walls expressing his values and beliefs as they undergo change. Most importantly, he has set himself a goal and continually visualizes success. This way it is easier for Haw to learn from his mistakes and persevere to achieve the expected goal which is to find the new cheese station.
