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.

According to Kevin Nelson, a neuroscientist and the author of “The Spiritual Doorway in the Brain,” adults often have a sense of looking back over a life; young children, lacking that perspective, tend to report “castles and rainbows, often populated with pets, wizards, guardian angels, and like adults, they see relatives and religious figures, too.” It’s hard to convey to anyone who grew up without the idea of God just how fully the language, stories and “logic” of the Bible can dominate a young mind, even perhaps especially the mind of a toddler (Nelson, The Spiritual Doorway in the Brain”20-21.) There have been various accounts taken over the years regarding near death or life after death experiences. A known account of this situation is taken from Colton Burpo, in which a bestseller book published in 2010 and motion picture released in 2014 known as “Heaven is for Real” is based on. In 2003 three year-old Colton claimed to have visited Heaven during a near death experience where an emergency surgery was performed on him to save his life. Colton recounts the details of his amazing journey with childlike innocence and speaks about things that happened before his birth... things he could not possibly know. The next is the story of Dr. Eben Alexander, who is a proclaimed neurosurgeon and writer coming from a lineage of scholars and medical doctors. He

Eben Alexander is a neurosurgeon who believed for many years that when people explained their near death experiences it was just the hard wiring of the brain. Of course ,though, he had refined medical training. It wasn't until Alexander had caught a rare disease which caused him to fall into a coma and had a near death experience himself. Alexander talks about his journey towards the afterlife in his book which leads to many questions to everyone as to whether it really happened or if it was all just a hallucination.

The plane crashed at the top of a mountain in the middle of nowhere. In The Mountain Between Us, Alex and Ben both were trying to fly out of Idaho so Alex could be at her wedding and Ben could perform surgery the next morning. The airport had shut down due to an oncoming snow-storm. The strangers flew out together on a small plane. The pilot had a heart attack mid flight and the plane crashed. Neither Ben nor Alex wanted to die and their hope to live encouraged teamwork and patience so both of them could eventually make it to safety. Similarly in Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck uses George, Lennie, and Candy’s relationship to teach the reader that hope can bring people together.

This isn’t technically a book that I read when I was in the properly defined age group, but looking back at this book it is probably the book that has had the largest impact on my life, and had it been out when I was younger would have been a book that I would have read. I read this book after I had finished reading Tuesdays with Morie by the same author. Now I have read a lot of books in my life and I can’t think of one that has had a more profound affect on me than The Five People you Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom.

When you imaging heaven, what do you think it would be like? In this particular movie an elderly man named Eddie has a very unique experience of going to heaven, where he meets five people. Before he passed away, Eddie worked at an amusement park called Ruby Pier. When he was just a little kid, his dad worked there and he would go to work with him a lot, so he got to know the park very well. He ended up working as the maintenance man until he was 83 years of age. One day one of the rides broke down, and it was falling towards a little girl who Eddie tried to save. As he died, he felt the little girl's hands but he wasn’t sure if he saved her or not. While he is in the afterlife, he meets five different people who each have a lesson to teach him. Of those five people who he meets in heaven, the three most important are, the blue man, the war captain, and Tala.

Book Review of To Heaven and Back To Heaven and Back, a nonfiction narrative by Mary C. Neal, MD, addresses the claim that God has a plan for everyone and that He will always be by ones side to nurture and lead them onto the right path. Dr. Neal writes that she had died on a kayaking trip in Fuy River, Chile, because her kayak got trapped and weighed down underneath a waterfall. She later comes back to life, which was described to have been God’s plan for her— he allowed for her to remain by her family’s side. This second chance at life also allowed Neal to spread the word of the existence of a beautiful afterlife known as Heaven. While the author’s relationship with God has changed throughout her life, she has no exclusive authority in the field of religion.

The theme or plot structure here is going through time but already knowing what the future holds, in the book The Five People You Meet in Heaven, there are some similar qualities. This takes place in the 1920s with an 83 year old man named Eddie who’s job is maintaining rides at an amusement park. In this Eddie risks his life in order to save a little girl who was in danger while on a ride, there were others on the ride too and luckily they got out safe. He saved these people on the day of his birthday, but unfortunately, it would be his last. Eddie makes his way to heaven, but has to meet five people in order to know how this was his fate. A “blue man” would guide him to the people he would be encountering. “Each of us was in your life for a reason” (Mitch 21). Just as each person Billy met in his lifetime served a purpose. Without Roland Weary Billy would not have lived, and without the people Eddie met he would not have faced his true fate. Vonnegut and Mitch both created excellent themes by taking a different path with their use of time travel and symbolism for each event that occurred in these men

This side of the story is about a man who has fragile health and can’t afford for kids to run across the street to get a ball. “A man is behind the wheel of a Ford Model A, which he has borrowed from his friend to practice driving.” “Suddenly a ball bounces across the street, and a boy come running after it.” “The car skids, the tires screech.” “The man feels dizzy and his head drops, the automobile collides with another.” “The blood from his coronary arteries no longer flow to his heart.” ( pg. 25 5 people you meet in heaven). This relates to the quote because the more you read the quote the meaning changes. Each person is linked to another in some way shape or form. This is just some of what the quote has to talk

Thesis: Each day as the advancements of technology doubles, the world will soon not worry about diseases and health; everyday gene technology will better our minds, bodies, and most future generations, thus making the “Heaven Scenario.”
