Who Moved my Cheese?

   The novel, Who Moved my Cheese? is a very inspirational book that deals with the concept of change and how to deal with it. The book uses a lot of symbolism.  For example the cheese represents what people want in life, weather it is success, money, a relationship, or happiness. The little person, Hem, represents when people resist change or fear it.  Hem ended up very unhappy and almost died because of it.  Haw, the other little person, represents how people should adapt to change early on because it can lead to something better. The mice, Sniff and Scurry, represent what people should do.  Sniff "sniffs" out the change early and is ready for it and Scurry "scurries" into action.  The article below also has the main idea of the book because it says how to adapt with change which is what the entire book Who Moved my Cheese? is about.

The picture below also relates on how people need to adapt and not be afraid of change because it focuses on the 4 main things you need to focus on when dealing with change, Reality Testing, Problem Solving, Flexibility, and Adaptability.
