Thinking on a phrase from the book

Now I'd like to share my opinion about one of the hundreds of touching and sad phrases from "Street Cat Named Bob"

"Being with Bob had already taught me a lot about responsibility but the Big Issue(newspaper name) took that to another level. If I wasn’t responsible and organized I didn’t earn money. And if I didn’t earn money Bob and I didn’t eat."

The whole story and this particular phrase tells us about the important part of one’s life – having someone near you. The author was hopeless and wasn’t interested in life. Bob helped him and brought a point following which James was working all the time and worrying about the conditions he lived in.

The other interesting thought is about cooperation and mutual understanding whether its between people or happy pet’s owners. We must be and attentive to one another and live peasfully.

And the last eadge which i'd like to write about is the life difficulties which people meet. The main character aka author had a terrible childhood because of which decided to move to London and stay at far relatives' place where he been just for 2 days. Then only street could meet him in the evenings. Thanks God he could play the guitar well enough to earn his living and not to be homeless.But hasn't he got a real house? I can't say that, beacause home is a place where you are waited by someone.. And I'm so glad that then Bob appeared and made his rented shelter a warm and cosy home .

Hope you didn't cry!

See you

Character Sketch.James Bowen*_*

Dear readers,Let me introduse the hero!

James Bowen is a person who was enrolled on a methadone programme, busking in Covent Garden, and living in sheltered accommodation in Tottenham, London.
He's tall dark-haired man in shabby clothes of 35.For now he wrote 4 books about his lovely ginger cat. From their first meeting you can understand that James is open-hearted and kind though didn't much care about himself as we knew.
The character changes as a person. He's still a busker but he has somebody/thing to care about and to be responsible for. That helps him to find strength finding a job as a "Big Issue" distributor or going to the Covent Garden every day playing till the moment he earn enough money to buy dinner and breakfast for Bob and himself.
 He is emotional and really sensitive.That is easily seen in his thoughts during the book or his fears and worry as Bob gets ill. 
 To sum it up we see an adult person who can take responsibility for someone else and strong enough to overcome serious addiction.

presentation of my book or what I've expected of the ending

Hi dear readers,
And welcome to my blog.
Now i want to present "Street Cat Named Bob" - 2012-13years bestseller in many countries To tell the truth I've chosen this particular  story because it's a bestseller and i like cats. The other reason was that the author is a Londoner and it could be good for my English. Then i realized that the book is more than just worth reading. The story based on the real life of the author and his famous street cat. The main value of the story is it's kindness and sincerity. 

I always check authors biorgaphy before reading a book because for me to read a book is a very mindful step. ( i'm not at all a bookwarm thats why). So I just saw the book at the bestsellers shelf with the charming cat on it and expected to read something kind and warm about this little thing and his adventures. Then I knew that the story is real and checked hashtag #streetcatbob on the instagram so how amused I was seeing recent videos with a busker and his handy cat dressed as a Londoner with his sweet scarf. From that moment I considered this story as if I saw them myself and this busker just decided to tell me his story( or even their story if you want;)).
