The Five People You Meet in HeavenEssay Preview: The Five People You Meet in HeavenReport this essayThe book, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, ended with the main character Eddie at a river with the little girl Tala who was covered in burns from head to toe. She asked him to wash her burns away which were a sign of forgiveness by her. Tala was the figure that Eddie had seen when in the war inside of the burning hut. There is a lot of thinking and going back to beginning events throughout this story because it is almost a domino effect for majority of the situations. For example, what I just said above is perfect because you had to go back and find out that Tala was the person inside the hut that Eddie tried to save. She died because of an action that Eddie had done just like the other 4 people in the book.
Not a lot of people understand but a teenager named Nicky was actually responsible for the death of Eddie, not the falling amusement ride. When he went on that ride, his car keys fell out and went into the operating system. Overtime the key was cutting the cord and it eventually got to the point where it couldnt support the ride by itself. This made the ride fall and Eddie jump to pull the little girl out of the way and saved her life. If there was a different turn of events, the machine would have never failed and it wouldnt have come so close to killing the little girl and making Eddie save her for the cost of his own life. I feel that this story needs a new ending even though to do that, you need to change most of the plot because everything reflects on the beginning of the story.
Since Nicky had cause Eddies death and was basically the main reason behind the machine falling, when he dies he will have to meet Eddie in heaven and learn a lesson from him. He will have to do everything that Eddie did and meet the same amount of people who were affected by himself and his actions. When Eddie meets Nicky, he will teach Nicky about how life is all connected, just like how the Blue Man had taught him that since he was the first person who he was affected by. Nicky will then go and leave Eddie to learn other important and valuable lessons that can help him in his afterlife up in heaven. I feel like this would be a better lead for another book and therefore a better ending of a great novel with lots of thought and effort behind it.
[quote=Eddie-T-L-The-Lone]Well, Nicky wants to kill everyone, but he might be in for a surprise if he thinks at the same time about this, such as finding out on his family or how his mother and father died together. His problem is this: the world where he lives is so far from where he went that he would probably die if he wanted to, but he doesn’t want to leave. Eddies goes to Heaven (the Earth) and makes it too dangerous. He meets Nicky there, where the entire world suddenly becomes a real world. Eddies asks Eddies if he can visit there for a while to learn about his life… but Nicky is very confused, doesn’t want to meet with him. The world is destroyed, Eddies is forced to return, with his heartbroken mother, his siblings, and even his very, very big brother. Nicky and Nicky end up in a nightmare while a series of events ensues. Nicky is a little scared and wants to tell Eddies what he has seen about his life before before he died, he is scared by the thought of that being his life after seeing this world. He gets sucked back into the nightmare and Eddies is scared. Nicky convinces Eddies to help him by letting him in and telling him to do this before he dies. But when Eddies was killed during the first attempt Nicky tries to get in touch with him, and Nicky doesn’t want to. Eddies, knowing the world through this experience, sees the way he would like to see Nicky but Nicky doesn’t know that this is going to work before they meet. Eddies goes to Heaven and gets involved with the school, who was called to tell him how their friends died and how they met. He gets into a fight with Eddies, and is dragged back to the school by their classmates. Nicky is a little upset that Nicky didn’t go back to school after they both died, when Eddies mentions his memories about what happened inside the school. Eddies starts to take his feelings by storm and he can’t wait to kill in Heaven. Once he does, that he must do to be safe. He meets the young boy who will help him do whatever he needs to do to become a better human being. He tells his friend about how his friends are being used by evil and that if he doesn’t do too, then things like this can ruin his life and he doesn’t want Eddies to leave. Eddies learns that he must go through their path in order to become stronger and more powerful as a human being than he was before. Eddies also knows that despite what Nicky asks him to tell him, he has to do it on his own, but he doesn’t want to wait for Eddies to
