Who eat my cheese
1) Name the four characters and describe briefly their personal characteristics.
There are 4 characters : Sniff(Innovator style), Scurry(Producer style), Hem(Stabilizer style) and Haw (Unifier style). Sniff is one of the two mice. It is vital for him to have access to this valuable resource, since this determines his ultimate survival and level of prosperity. Sniff uses smelling to find the direction of cheese and points it to Scurry, the second mouse, who uses his speed of running to find it. Scurry is an great cheese-hunting partner to Sniff, because of the quick reaction.The two mice do not waste their time on lengthy planning; they prefer to apply the simple and tested “trial-and-error” method. Although they do things the hard way, their quick actions save time and leads them to the Cheese faster. Hem represents a character with negative way of thinking when it comes to moving ahead and forgetting about a pernicious event that changed a prosperous past. As a human being Hem feels that he is entitled to the right of a superior way of thinking and perceiving things, in comparison to the mice of the story. As a consequence, he gets stuck in a self-destructive persistence of not recognizing and accepting change. Haw is the partner of Hem. He also gets the shock of his life when he comes before an empty cheese station. However, he behaves analytically, accepting hard facts and looking for a way to escape this dead-end situation.He is much more flexible than Hem and he represents the adaptability of humankind in various occasions of disaster. He understands that life cannot be stopped and tries to be the part of progress to survive.
