This paragraph will be about the simmularities and the diffrernces between the book The Five People You Meet in Heaven and the second episode of the mini-series of the same book.

I read the book "The five people you meet in heaven". Have you ever thought of who you will see when you go to heaven, or who you may meet? This book not only shares the five people you meet in heaven, but also the reasons behind them. The idea of this book is to show how someone may not know how they effect someone elses life. For instance, the blue man in the book gets in a car crash eddie had no idea he'd caused, or the little girl eddie meets in the end he had no idea he bombed in war. You may have an impact on more people than you think, and this book is trying not only to give you hope for your future, but teaching you a lesson. When I read this book I took away my selfishness of not thinking that I could impact someones life so much,

The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a novel written by Mitch Albom that follows the life and death of a man named Eddie. Eddie was a war veteran and worked in maintenance at the Ruby Pier amusement park. Eddie felt he lived his whole life in the shadow of his father and ended up being just like him, working at this park. As the park changed overtime, so did Eddie. He went from an enthusiastic young-spirited man to a grumpy and regretful old man. On his 83rd birthday, Eddie died as a result of being crushed by a faulty ride at the park when he tried to save a little girl that was under it. When he dies, he is taken into heaven by two small hands and there he comes into contact with five people. These five people Eddie met in heaven were meant to explain and make sense of Eddie’s life on Earth. Each person drastically changed Eddie’s life forever even though he may not have known in at the time. Although three of those people were complete strangers to Eddie, they all greatly impacted his life and communicated a special life lesson to him.

After we consider God as the king and the Satan as the revolutionary, we now focus on analyzing Adam and Eve. It is clear that Adam and Eve are normal people in Paradise Lost. Thus, Adam and Eve shares the same characteristic of being stupid as typical normal people. In other words, they do not have their own independent thought. That is, before eating the apple, Adam and Eve eat, work, sleep, have sex, and obey and eulogize the God without thinking about the fundamental ideas behind everything they did. As Milton writes in Book V and Book IV, the way that Adam and Eve are controlled by the God is exactly the same as the way that normal people are ruled by emperors. As long as Adam and Eve have food to eat and place to stay, they just simply

The blue taught that sacrificing your life can save another. The second person Eddie meets in heaven is The Captain. Born into a military family and trained to fight since day one. The captain knew nothing but war he would accept the fate put upon him to be in the army. Eddie knew the captain because they fought together. Eddie looked back on the time spent with the Captain, the moment he got shot in the knee. The captain explains how Eddie was delusional and shot him in the knee so that they could leave. Later on down the road the captain got out and went down the road to check everything and make sure it was safe. As he was heading back he stepped on a mine and exploded. Eddie never found out about the accident until he saw the captain again. The captain taught that nobody gets left behind. The third person Eddie meets in heaven is Ruby. Ruby was the reason that Ruby Pier was built. Her life was simple she worked at a little restaurant serving people until one day a man walked in. She soon fell in love with the man. After marrying him they went on adventures and had a grand time. He set out to build her an amusement park. They had a great time but soon the park set on fire her

Heaven Is for Real had a great impact on me. In the book there is a little boy name Colton. He became ill when their family was going on vacation.

There is a meaning to every action in life. No story goes unheard. The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a novel by Mitch Albom about a man named Eddie and the story of his life as he travels through heaven. Eddie is learning all the lessons that he did not learn during his life through the 5 people that he is meeting during his journey to his final destination in heaven. Months before Eddie’s death, there was a boy named Nicky who lost his car key on a ride called Freddy’s Free Fall. This key was slowly cutting into the cable of the ride which ultimately killed Eddie. This goes to show the narrator's theory that “No story sits by itself. Sometimes stories meet at corners and sometimes they cover one another completely, like stones beneath

When they audience reads this novel they should feel inspired, due to all the things that Eddie went through and what he learned from them. After everything that his father put him through he was able to forgive him, and that should inspire us to make the world a better place by not holding grudges. Eddie said these words to his dad, “I’ll let it go now, all right? All right? Can we let it go?” (Albom 144). Eddie wants to make everything better and fix things between his father. Also, every time Eddie showed bravery throughout the book, which was quite a lot, I felt inspired. For example, when he ran after the little girl in the fire, “He stepped past a burning puddle of oil, and his clothes caught fire from behind. A yellow flame moved up his calf and thigh.” (Albom 83). This was inspirational to me because I haven’t ever heard of anything like that before, and I feel like he had a huge heart during that

Although Eddie does not use this lesson while in heaven, it brings him to better understand many of the sacrifices that he made while still on earth. As the Captain tells Eddie about sacrifices in life, he says, “‘You made one. I made one. We all make them. But you were angry over yours. You kept thinking about what you lost,’” (Albom 93). Many of the moments in Eddie’s life, going to war, standing up to his father, quitting school, and choosing to take care of his mother after his father’s death, all involve Eddie making a sacrifice. When the events are taking place, he believes that his sacrifices are something to regret, as many others do. Eddie uses each of these occurrences in his lifetime as an excuse for why he did not reach his

The book The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom is about a man named Eddie and he dies trying to save a little girl. The part of the story that we read was about the 2nd person he meets in heaven. The 2nd person that he meet was his captain, every person that he meets there is someone who changed his life in some way. The captain was there because he changed Eddie by shooting him in the leg. A few of the differences between the book and the movie is that in the movie unlike the book, is when Eddie and some of there crew got captured by the Philippines there were 4 but in the book there were only 3. Another was the captain had a saying and in the movie it was “We’re going home together”, whereas in the book is was “no man left behind”.

James Joyce short story "The Dead" is written in a rambling manner which reveals an intriguing theme. The story revolved around Gabriel Conroy and his marriage with a woman named Gretta.
