She never complained how others are projecting her. Plus, “People Are So Kind To Me” added the author which remind me a quote that “when you project something good to other, you will get back.” I believed that Maris is kind to others and that is the reasons why people are so kind to her because she is getting back her good behavior. Another reason is that whenever any of her friends ask her about her disease in her autobiography she never gets angry which shows her unique way of kindness to others because usually when people ask anyone about his or her disease that they are suffering, they never feels comfortable to talk about it, but Maris never did that.

An old proverb states that, “You will die, but your work will remain forever.” “Being Cripple” is one of the essay which teach us that even though, you are dying never let yourself to down, be optimistic and do something for the next generation like as Maris
