In George Saunders article "My Writing Education: A Time Line" he talks about his college experience and his life. His professors and friends showed a lot of kindness to him. His teacher Doug was really nice to him and was always helping him in school. Toby becomes his best friend was also very kind to him. Doug and Toby were their the most during college for him they always helped George Saunders with his writing and to give him advise. One day Doug gets an unkind comment on one of his writing and he gives them a long beautiful, honest, courageous and totally generous talk. He tells them to never let anything bring them down and also keep moving. Saunders really likes that he gave them that talk he loves Doug for that. Doug also shows a lot of kindness when Saunders wife is 4 months pregnant and they are in South Dakota. He sends him a letter and tells him what is going on and promises him that he will continue working. He does the work through mail for a couple of weeks and then he get a call from Doug and he tells him to not worry about the class that he passed and to spend time with his wife that was really nice of him. After Saunders daughter is born he feels like he is starting to lose his magic in his writing and starts to work. He talks to Doug and he tells him to do his best and he will start to do better.
