Important Strangers By Leslie Guttman Summary
The writing by Leslie Guttman called Important Strangers describes thoroughly of how much of an impact strangers can do in our lives. Leslie talks about two people that meet, but they meet for their own good because they are both grieving. She talks about how people are put in our paths for a reason and how it benefits both of us. The small piece of writing can really connect to us all because each year we meet a new person and sometimes it’s for bad or good.

I do think we meet people for different reasons, but one we all have in common is that we don’t meet them for no reason. Every person has its own trait that can be helped or will help the other sometimes it’s useful sometimes it’s not as we thought it would be. For example, acquaintances we have or known people have all come into our lives because of something that brought us together. Some people enter lives but the simple way of having fun others during a grieving phase, but those entrances they make into our lives really impact us and connect us together to what we are now friends. These events really connect to what Leslie describes, because it is something that happens to everyone even though we don’t really notice it. One person is all it takes to make a huge impact on your life which is what happened to Leslie when she found another person grieving. Everyone has at least that one
