How Does Eddie Go To Heaven?

After his death, he was forced to review his life before he can enter Heaven. There were five moments he had to examine. Each of these moments offered meaning and they each connect well with healthcare. The first person he meets in heaven is The Blue Man. The Blue Man explains that Eddie was the reason he passed.

He lost his hat, the one that he got from someone at his birthday party. He got offended by Mickey, giving him a punch on the arm. From this, the readers can understand that MIckey, the alcoholic Irishman, was not a good soul to Eddie. Mickey will probably became a part of a negative time period during Eddie’s life, and this could be the reason why the narrator introduced MIckey in this way not completely positive. Thirdly, “She puts his hat back on his head. Later, she will walk him along the pier, perhaps take him on an elephant ride, or watch the fishermen pull in their evening nets, the fish flipping like shiny, wet coins. She will hold his hand and tell him God is proud of him for being a good boy on his birthday, and that will make the world feel right-side up again” (Albom 25) In a lot of moments we read about Eddie, how he suffered much pain and misconstrued events throughout his life on earth: Eddie was searching for some kind of peace within himself, which he never found. However, here the love of the mom for his kid is shown, and the reader can definitely understand that Eddie’s mom cared deeply for Eddie and his brother, Joe, offering her sons a nurturing alternative to their abusive, alcoholic

     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.

He also felt very cal very calm. He meets this guy named the Blue moon who works at Ruby pier slideshow. During the conversation Eddie find out that he is dead and he has gone to heaven.

The plot is divided up into five elements: the exposition, the rising action, the climax, the falling action, and the resolution. In the exposition we are introduced to Eddie the main character. We learn that Eddie is 83 years old and is the maintenance man at Ruby Pier. In the exposition it is also made clear that the major theme of the novel was foreshowed. It also introduces us to Eddie’s death. In the rising action we learn that there are several conflicts occurring simultaneously. A conflict between Eddie and his father

Eddie learned a lot about his life in heaven. He learned from Captain about sacrifice. At a young age Eddie joined the army and fought for the rights and freedom of his country and would sacrifice his life to do so. During the end of his career in the military Eddy was on a mission to burn down some huts. The orders were followed and as he was watching the last hut burn he saw a shadow dart across the door that entered the hut. He sat there and heard bomber planes getting closer and closer to his location but he kept seeing the shadow dart all over the hut. He told his captain that there was someone in the hut and insisted on going in there and saving who was ever in there as he went to run in the hut his caption shot him in the leg and saved him from the fire and the bomber

The fact that two stories can become one is seen in Tala’s death. Eddie believes that his life means nothing, until he meets Tala in heaven. She explains how Eddie killed her without even knowing. He is horrified, and we can infer that it would make his life seem even more unimportant than he already thought it was. On the contrary, Tala clarifies that his life was full of meaning. “‘Children,’ she said. “You keep them safe. You make good for me’” (Albom, 191). Eddie maintains the rides at the amusement park Ruby Pier, which

He returns to the drood manor only to find that the armorer had died from a massive heart attack, but yet his corpse was not present. He then obtains his next assignment in paris directly from the matriarch. He needs to break up a conflict between the elves, Their intense knowledge of magic makes them a threat if they begin to war. He breaks up the fight between the faction rulers Queen Mab and King Oberon. He threatens that if they don’t stop they will have to deal with the whole Drood family. Upon leaving Paris he encounters a tall man in a brown trench coat. He say to Eddie that he would regret his decision to threaten the elves. Eddie thinks nothing of it and moves

Eddie is 2 years and 11 months, he was referred by his health visitor due to the concerns of his parents. They were anxious about his language development, as they reported that “he does not have many words” and that “they cannot understand him.”

Each of the people that he meets in heaven show him this quality through the telling of their stories, and how they learned to accept their own fate. The first instance occurs when Eddie meets the Blue Man, who explains that Eddie is the cause of his death, where he says to “take one story, viewed from two different angles. It is the same day, the same moment, but one angle ends up happily. . .and the other ends badly, in a city morgue” (Albom 44). Just like each of the others that Eddie meets, the Blue man had learned to accept his death through the people that he had met in heaven, much like Eddie does throughout meeting each of his five people. This story teaches him that many of life’s events are accidental or out of control, and some things will happen for seemingly no reason at all. Similar to the Blue Man, the fourth person that Eddie meets, his wife, Marguerite, also subtly teaches him the importance of accepting how one’s life turns out. Her story, which is arguably more tragic than that of the Blue Man’s, shows Eddie that even the most innocent of people can come to terms with their quick and unexpected demise. Marguerite’s death happened so quickly that there was no time to prepare for it, but she explains that the five people she met in heaven made “all the difference” (Albom 157). However, possibly the person that impacts this lesson of acceptance the most is the final person that Eddie meets, the little girl, Tala, that he killed in the fire that he set during the war. Even a child as young as her is able to accept the fatal mistake that Eddie made, and even tactfully teaches Eddie the lesson that she learned about accepting her own fate. Upon realizing that this is the girl he killed, Eddie explains that “the darkness that had shadowed him all those years was revealing itself at last, it was real, flesh and blood, this child, this lovely child, he had

She is his fifth and final person, and because she is the last, it is expected of her that she answers all the questions Eddie has. She tells him that he saved Amy or Annie. She helps him make his peace with his life and show him how important he was to so many people. “There was a pier filled with thousands of people… They were there… because of the simple, mundane things Eddie had done in his life, the accidents he had prevented, the rides he had kept safe” (193) And just like that, he’s free of all the weight he was carrying, literally floating above all the events where he can finally come, as God calls it, “home” (194) to his wife Marguerite to forever ride the giant Ferris wheel that was once a constant reminder of his job at Ruby Pier, but now because he is finally free he can enjoy it as what it really is: his own personal

In Act One, tension is commenced after Catherine and Rodolpho go out on a sentimental date to a show at the Paramount. Eddie is presented as a fatherly-like character up to this point, the audience thinks of him as an ordinary,

He is in a place that looks very familiar. He sees kids having fun on rides he see a very familiar person he realizes that it is his dad working on the train carts he.Eddie has a puzzled but satisfied look on his face he start to remember all the thing that his dad did to him when he younger and how his mom got beaten by his dad and the night the Mickey was trying to get his job back.

This character was a part of the “freak show” for Ruby Pier during his lifetime, where Eddie grew up and worked as an adult. Growing up, Joseph suffered from anxiety problems that stemmed from his father’s aggressive and demanding behavior. Doctors prescribed him silver nitrate to calm his nerves but when he continually increased the dosage, his skin began to turn blue. Not being able to find a job or fit into society, The Blue Man came to Ruby Pier, the only place he felt he could lead a normal life. Eddie, then a small child, ran in front of Joseph’s car one day in an attempt to catch a ball. Joseph slams on the breaks but the sudden excitement was too much for his already frail heart and he died from a heart attack. This incident showed Eddie how much of a significant impact his actions had on the people around him, even if he didn’t realize

“Strangers... are just family you have yet to come to know” (Albom 49). This event relates to the time when Nicky, a teenage boy, visits Ruby Pier and accidentally loses his car key on one of the rides called “Freddy's Free Fall”. It is that same key that falls into the gears and causes the ride to break. That action sets off the series of events that leads to Eddie's death. Nicky and Eddie didn't even know each other yet Nicky changed Eddies life, forever. Numerous people, including The captain affected Eddie. One moment was when the Captain shot Eddie in the leg. He proceeds with this action because he believes it is the only way he can get Eddie to leave with them. This happened for a reason, so Eddie would go home and resume his life at the Pier. Even though his injury ended many experiences like running, dancing, and his dreams of becoming an engineer at least he didn't lose his life and was therefore able to touch the lives of others. We are all connected to each other in some way, even if it means simply sharing space on this
