It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Mister Rogers is an icon. Some may say he's a hero. Indeed, he is a lovely man, an intelligent man, and most importantly, a kind man. Throughout the profile, the author keeps referring to a little boy. Sometimes I thought the little boy was Mister Rogers, other times I thought the little boy was the author himself. But overall, the little boy seemed to change in each scenario. Other times the little boy was just a little boy out in the world who did something that inspired Mister Rogers. The way the author wrote Mister Rogers' profile was incredibly personal and touching to the reader. The writer brought you into the small details of his life. Like his slight infatuation with weighing 143 pounds, only because 143 means 'I Love You.' That right there shows how ridiculously kind of a person Mister Rogers truly is. The impact he has made on the lives of children and even the lives of parents is a major factor in who Mister Rogers is and what he wants for the world. He radiates love and kindness and teaches children significant lessons through the television. The writer was able to invite us into Mister Rogers' life so easily and so intimately, because that is how Mister Roger invited the writer into his life. He allowed the author to interview him in his robe and follow him into the locker room. The voice of the entire essay reflected Mister Rogers' personality, compassionate and calm. The events described and the encounters Mister Roger had with children and parents were displayed to the reader exactly how one would imagine an encounter with Mister Rogers. I think the author did a great job capturing who Mister Rogers is off screen. Which is the same Mister Rogers we see on screen.
