"All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten," is a novel written by Robert Fulghum. It consists of various essays and stories about the author’s experiences and opinions. It mainly entails how, “all he really needed to know about how to live, what to do, and how to be, he learned in kindergarten” (Fulghum 2). A few ideas that Fulghum mentions include how individuals need to find their support group, the theory of existent angels, the power of decisions, and that, “imagination is stronger than knowledge” (Fulghum). All these aspects of the novel involve his own personal experience, and how he applies his past, to the present. In the beginning of the novel, Fulghum mentions how it is important to find our support group, and how it’s almost impossible to go through life all alone. I agree with this assertion; we all need support and going through something alone is unfathomable. As human beings, we need support and encouragement from our family, friends, and people to guide and mentor us. Therefore, we need to be open to their help. We can never act like we know everything. We need to always be open for their advice, and always be ready to listen. It is essential to obtain guidance from others if they are the individuals who want to help us progress. Through this, we can become better individuals and do good for society. Additionally, Fulghum writes two essays in his novel about, “an angel,” known as Elias Schwartz. Schwartz, a shoemaker, was a generous individual who helped other immigrants settle into their new country. His constant small acts of kindness and benevolence made him the righteous man that he was. I agree with the author’s intention of naming Mr. Schwartz as an angel, implying that angels do exist. I especially enjoyed reading this section in the novel, since it is pleasing to cross paths with a person like Mr. Schwartz. Likewise, I believe that good things come back to those who do good. Thro
