Over the summer I was given a choice of several books to read. I chose The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Alborn and Bad Boy by Walter Dean-Myers. I had never heard of either author before this assignment. The reason I chose The Five People You Meet in Heaven was because it had been recommended to me many times. Bad Boy on the other hand had a title that seemed interesting. Originally I had thought the book by Mitch Alborn was going to be about a guy who had to prove himself to be let into heaven, while the book by Walter Dean-Myers was going to be about this rebellious kid and his life (at the time I didn’t know what a memoir was) and in the end I wasn’t exactly wrong.

     The next person that Eddie meets is his Sargent from the war. He tells Eddie about how he, the Sargent, died, and how that enabled the rest of the company to survive. He told Eddie that it had been him who had shot him, in order to save his life. Eddie had become convinced that he saw someone in a burning building, and to prevent Eddie from going in there and losing his life, the Sargent shot him in the leg.

Kurt Vonnegut’s 1969 novel is based on a man named Billy Pilgrim who is an anti-war hero; he was the most unprepared soldier of them all and was considered a joke. Pilgrim was scrawny and tall; going into the war he did not have any proper equipment. Throughout the story Billy is time traveling due to the fact the he was abducted by aliens known as the Tralfamadorians. Since Billy has been through so many time periods and knows how certain situations turn out he is very content with his life and is fearless. Billy tries to tell his family and the world about this experience; but of course, no one believes him. Other characters are very minor and only come out when Billy is in a certain time period. He was married to a woman named Valencia

Next, God tells him the rules saying that he can’t change his heaven but he can change his age, he can leave to visit others but he can’t stay their long, and when he has to teach and share his story with someone he is not allowed to tell them how/when the died or who their next person is. Also, God tells him that he still isn’t done growing, their are still people he can learn from and people he can teach, so he has Eddie explore other people’s heaven. Adding this onto the story will help show that the even after death you can still influence people while the people you’ve influenced in the past go off a influence someone else. Furthermore, that is one way to enhance the ending as well as the

Character Development is something that the story is built around. Without character development a story can just fall flat and be boring. I look at the character development of Percy Jackson, a young boy who learns that he is a demi-god and tries to figure out his knew powers. Also, I look a Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom, where we see a man who dies and goes on a journey to understand the impact he made on others life. We also can look at the movie Pacific Rim: Uprising.

Eddie’s choices in The Five People You Meet in Heaven are usually characterized by how he felt as if he were a failure; Tala’s death was caused by the careless

In the 1950’s the melodrama genre came to age and there is no better example than Douglas Sirk’s All that Heaven Allows. The melodrama followed some basic characteristics which can be identified in the film. First and foremost the narrative of the melodrama focused on the family. All that Heaven Allows follows the narrative of the typical melodrama but at the same time also challenges the social conventions. While Sirk follows many of the key themes he does so in a more detached fashion. The protagonist Cary is bound to her community by her social class. Change was occurring in society and the melodrama displayed people’s restraint to this. In All that Heaven Allows Sirk began his focus on the female and her desires in contrast to the more conservative male focused melodrama. As with the melodrama the legibility of the story, displayed through the plot, is simple and easy to follow. “Our engagement with the story depends on our understanding of the pattern of change and stability, cause and effect, time and space” (Bordwell and Thompson, 2008). The linear time flow of the film allows for it’s simple understanding. This is added to by the expressiveness of the melodrama, where everything is brought into the open and nothing is left unsaid. The expressiveness of the melodrama is also represented in the highly expressive mise-en-scene. Sirks use of colour, the human figure, camera work, lighting and music allow him to portray suppressed meaning and significance.
