There are simple things in life that could mean something so important, yet our society doesn’t seem to notice it. Well, in this novel, it is the perfect example of that. Throughout the book, The Five You Meet In Heaven, an eye catching quote was stated. The author Mitch Albom mentions, “Nothing important. No bank statements. No insurance policies. Just a black bow tie, a Chinese restaurant menu, an old deck of cards, a letter with an army medal, and a faded Polaroid of a man by a birthday cake, surrounded by children.” Each of those items represent an important character in the novel.

The book The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom and the movie The Five People You Meet In Heaven have a lot of similarities and some differences. The Five People You Meet In Heaven talks about the story of Eddie in heaven. Eddie dies trying to save a little girl at his work, where he works as a maintenance guy in an amusement park. Eddie was also a soldier when he was younger. When Eddie goes to heaven he meets up with five people one of them being his former captain in a war where he tells him some secrets. In both the movie and the book Eddie and his friends get caught and are kept as prisoners. Also in both the book and the movie the captain smokes in heaven.

It’s not difficult to figure out that almost every book with a movie made from the book will have some differences and some similarities. I can almost promise anyone that they will probably never find a book with a movie that is the exact same. This essay will point out some differences and similarities between the book and the movie “Ordinary People”.
The book starts in the narrator’s hometown of Woking. While the movie starts in New Jersey. This is a huge change, not only does it affect where the story starts it affects where the characters travel and where they end up. Despite the difference in continents, both protagonists travel virtually the same distance and encounter many of the same things. An example is both characters are attacked trying to cross a river. In the movie this is the Hudson River, but due to the setting of the book it occurs on the River
Eddie the matenience man of Ruby Pier carnival seems like just typical old man, who struggles with the idea that he never lived up to his potential. However, after he dies, he is able to see his life through a different perspective, one of eternity, and realizes how unique and important his life has been. This closely echoes the truth found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church which says that only in heaven with Christ will we find our true identity and meaning of life. 1 Death is only the beginning for Eddie and his journey through the five “heavens” of people that his life has impacted demonstrates how intricately woven together every humanity is. As pilgrims, our view of suffering and day to day actions constricts our ability to see how God truly weaves human messiness together to create a beautiful tale of redemption. So, we must live for the destination, not for the journey, leaning on hope instead of complete understanding.
but there is just more than the plot. In the book we are introduce to dozen of characters, but the only “main” characters stayed till the very end, which were Ender, Mazer Rackham, Petra, Bean, Valentine, and Colonel Graff. These are the same characters that were seen on the big screen. Bring these main characters in the movie was a good idea because this is what we expect to have after we read the book, if the characters were not in the live action movie than it would be pretty disappointing and no one would want to watch that and plus these are the “helpers” from the Hero’s Journey so they would play a major role in the movie and the book. Another similarity that can be found is the relationships between Ender, Valentine, and Peter. The first chapter of the book lets the reader already know that Peter, Ender’s brother really hates him even so that he won’t even hesitate to kill him. On the other hand, there is Valentine, Ender’s sister who loves ender very much and protects ender from peter, so in the movie we also see this kind of love and hate relationship as well. For example, in the movie, when ender comes back home after his monitor was removed, peter wanted to play a “game” with Ender and then peter started to choke ender as if he wanted to end him, thankfully valentine came in and shielded ender. This is the same scene in the book in the form of words, which is important because this emotion are what help Ender through his journey, he always remembers valentine because she gives hope that ender can win this war and Ender gets the killing instinct from peter which helps him win the war but he is not proud of it. These small similarities are what we expect because it's important to have the story in its original
Throughout the book and movie there are some similarities and differences. In the movie Susie could only see Earth when she was in the gazebo, but in the book she could see Earth whenever she wanted to. When Susie dies and goes to heaven there is no Franny there is only Holly in the movie. In the movie Abigail comes back when Jack gets beat up with a bat instead of a heart attack. In both the book and the movie Harvey dies the same way.
