"Penguin Persons & Peppermints" by Walter Prichard Eaton is a compilation of essays from the early 1900s, where the author muses about different parts of life with a funny and playful attitude by using his own life stories and details he has noticed while living. Eaton talks about themes such as how important it is to be cheerful and have friends, and he calls these types of people "Penguin Persons" because their fun personalities make life easier and more fun. In the beginning of the book, he talks about his views on personal essays. In his introduction, Eaton thinks about how personal essays can be and expresses that they show more about who the writer is than their professional jobs do. He mentions how jokes and small stuff still matter because they let people connect and be happy in their daily routines. Using this plan, he shows the main idea of the collection, drawing attention to the significance of "Penguin Persons"—friends who make people smile—in helping people deal with the difficulties of life.
