Who Moved my Cheese?

   Who Moved my Cheese? is a book that is a life lesson book.  It makes you think, and those are the types of books I like the best.
   Who moved my Cheese? is about college friends meeting up after many years of not seeing each other.  They catch up and one of them mentions that they heard a story recently that changed their life.  The group is eager to hear it and the story he is telling is the story in the book.
   The story takes place in a maze.  This maze it inhabits four creatures.  There are two mice named Sniff and Scurry.  There are also two little people named Hem and Haw.  The maze is both a dangerous place and a place of security.  One bad move and you could be lost forever but it also hold cheese in it that the creatures depend on for survival.  They have no idea how the cheese gets there or who or what puts it there.  All they know is that it comes everyday and they must find it to live.
  Sniff and Scurry have a routine that they follow everyday in order to find their cheese, they go through the maze opening every door and going down every corridor with their guess and check method.
   Hem and Haw have a very different tactic in order to find their cheese.  They find out that everyday there is a cheese station named cheese station C that holds a ton of cheese.  They soon move their home closer to the cheese station and depend on it greatly.
  Then one day the cheese stopped getting replaced.  The cheese in Cheese Station C was running low and what little cheese was left grew moldy and stale.  Hem and Haw do not understand and soon become hungry.  They have no idea what to do next.
  What will they do next?  Will Hem and Haw find new cheese or will they starve?  To find out read the book Who Moved my Cheese?
   One of the themes in Who Moved my Cheese? is change happens and not to be afraid of it.  I know this because the cheese gets moved from Cheese Station C and the little people are not ready for it.  One should anticipate change and not be afraid of it.  It says in the book,“Life moves on and so should we” and it also says “If you do not change, you can become extinct !”.
