The 5 People you meet in heaven Essay -- essays research papers
     thefivepeople you meet in heaven                Mitch Albom      Eddie, an 83 year old war veteran who spends his days and nights fixing rides at Ruby Pier, has been through a lot of ups and downs in his life. From having a rough child hood with his father, to meeting the girl of his dreams, Marguerite, to fighting in world war 2 and totally messing up his leg, to coming home to Marguerite and living his life with no kids, just Marguerite and Ruby Pier, to his 83rd birthday..      It’s just another day at Ruby Pier. Pretty much the same as it’s always been since he was a kid. Well, except for the rides, it’s all new technology now a days. Anyways.. Eddie’s always had Ruby Pier in his life, from when he was little to playing there, to having his father work there, to Eddie working there as a teenager, to now. So it’s just like any other day at the sea side amusement park, Eddie’s there to open the park up, test all the rides to make sure they’re working properly, waits for the kids to come, then lingers around the park all day, making animals out of pipe cleaners for the kids, picking up, and working at the rids until it’s time to close up. But today, is a bit different then any other day. A warm, sunny afternoon interrupted by the sounds of â€Å"OH my god look! OH MY GOD those people are gonna fall!†Eddie turned his head towards Ruby Park’s newest ride, Freddy’s free fall. And high in the sky he sees the cart dangling from a few cables, and three people holding on to the bar. A million thoughts rushed to Eddie’s mind at once. How could the cables brake? Why did the cart go off the tracks? How are we going to get the people down? He had to react fast, he got Willie, one of the workers, to get a ladder and get the people off the ladder. Meanwhile Eddie was trying to find a way to get the cart back in place. His first idea was to pop the safety release. He instructed Willie to do so. Then Eddie got thinking.. ‘The cable is unraveling..’ if the safety release is hit, the cart is going to come crashing to the ground. â€Å"DON’T RELEASE THE CART! IT’LL SNAP!!!!!†â€Å" WILLIE STOP! NO NO DON’T!†Too late. â€Å"EVERYONE GET BACK! HURRY!†Eddie tried to warn everyone that the cart was about to come crashing down wh... ... would go to my heaven on earth which is my camp on the ocean. I would go to bed thinking how amazing it would be if I could die, and go to my heaven, where I have no problems, no cares or worries, and I would be happy.           When I finally reached the end of the book, I’d made decisions I regretted, but those decisions have made me a stronger person. What I’m trying to say, is, when I finished reading your book, I came to a realization that god has a plan for all of us. He chooses when it’s time to go, he put us on this earth for a purpose, and when we are done fulfilling that purpose, it’s our time to go.           So I write to you, to thank you for taking the time to write such an amazing book. I know it touched my life and I’m sure it touched the lives of so many other people who read it.                     Sincerely,                        Â
