The relationship itself helps Cleary drive the point home. Why exactly is it mouse? Is it because a mouse is small enough to ride a motorcycle? Then why not a hamster? A squirrel?

Once upon a time, in a small clearing in the woods, there lived a mouse. This mouse lived modestly with his wife and his two little tiny baby mice in a small cottage. Inside the cottage was a cozy living room with a warm hearth, and 2 small bedrooms that were painted the color of yellow dandelions on a ripe summer day. They all lived together in that tiny round house, and the two tiny mice would often go out and play in the babbling brook a little while into the woods. There was Papa mouse, who was tall and limber, and as clever as they come. Then there was Mama mouse, short and stout, who had the best jokes in half the animal kingdom and kept the family entertained for days. Lastly, there was Little Timmy and Alice. They played all day long,

Throughout this paper I will be giving a synopsis for a book entitled Who Moved My Cheese, as well as answering questions that relate to the story. The story is a parable which stresses the importance of being able to adapt to change. The story includes four main characters: two mice, Sniffy and Scurry, and two little people, Hem and Haw. All four characters inhabit a maze, and spend their time seeking out cheese. The story peaks as both the mice and humans stumble upon a vast amount cheese at Cheese Station C. After finding the cheese the two humans become content with their find, and stop searching for more. In contrast the mice continue their search for cheese. The humans begin to become use to the vast amount of cheese, thus they begin a pattern of consuming the cheese without resupplying it. Eventually the cheese diminishes until there is none left. This slow decline of cheese is no surprise to the mice. Through observation during the period where both humans and mice consume the cheese, the mice mentally prepare themselves for the depletion of cheese. The mice then leave Cheese Station C to search for more cheese. Hem and Haw react differently to being void of cheese once again. When they arrive to Cheese Station C they are shocked to find out they do not have any more cheese. Hem becomes angry and proposes that someone has moved their cheese. After returning next day, it becomes confirmed to Hem and Haw that the cheese is gone. Haw proposes that they should

Before reading “Who Moved My Cheese?”, by Spencer Johnson, I scanned through it real quick and it seemed like a fairly simplistic read. I did not originally expect much out of the book with its sort of corny pictures of cheese and story about made up people and situation. Once I began to read it I realized it was a little more complex than a mouse going through a maze to obtain cheese. The beginning starts out with a group of former classmates gathered around discussing their current jobs and such. Then the story of Who Moved My Cheese is brought up and one of the alumni begin telling the whole story...

In the book Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson, out of the four main characters, I most resemble the little person Haw. Right away, it was obvious I was not like the mice. I am a thinker. Sniff and Scurry reacted far too immediately for me. When the change happened, they were already out in the maze seeing what they could find. Change tends to affect me more heavily than it did the mice. I tend to use a combination of brainpower and emotion when I am looking for my Cheese just like Hem and Haw. What makes me more similar to Hem is the reaction to the change. When the Cheese goes missing, Hem experiences an intense emotional reaction. He yells and screams because he feels entitled to his Cheese. He had been enjoying the Cheese for so long that he could not imagine a situation where the Cheese was no longer there for him. Haw’s reaction is much more subtle. He was sad. The Cheese being at Cheese Station C was a measure of comfort for him, and without it he was left in shock. This is precisely how I react. I tend to count on all the constant people and situations in my life. If my family, girlfriend, car, apartment, or air conditioning were ever to withdraw their presence it would leave me in shock. Just like with Haw, it is not about me having the most powerful of any of the things listed above, but more about my personal comfort with the current situation.

In my life, I have been exposed to a challenge called change. Change can occur in many different ways and is dealt with in many different ways. I have come to the awareness that change can be the deepest of all things. I always thought that change occurred when you moved to a state or when you lost someone real close to you. Those are a challenge to change, yes, but change doesn’t have to occur over a climactic incident. It can just appear overnight when your brain winds up when it’s time to do something different. Even with friends that you used to have and know that move on. For example, most of my friends from elementary school, I don’t even talk to them anymore.

The video, “Who moved my cheese?” encompasses four characters entering the maze in search of cheese. Sniff and Scurry are both proactive as they measure the condition of the cheese and keep their running shoes around their necks instead of throwing them aside after they have found the first cheese station. This proves that they have expected some changes in the future, and they are prepared to face all kinds of situations. The mice intend to commit more time to running and searching for new cheese rather than planning, thinking and analyzing the situation before initiating the search. However, their spontaneity saves them time and leads

There are a few times where a book strikes a chord with you, and then you use it for your future. Luckily, I felt that with “Who Moved My Cheese” by Spencer Johnson. Many things within the book struck a chord within me. It was as if I was illustrating the book within my own maze and cheese in my life. Further on, I will discuss how it impacted me.
