The fifth person Eddie meets in heaven is a little girl named Tala. She has dark brown hair and coffee colored eyes. She was in Eddie's life because she was the one who Eddie saw burning in the building with Captain. She is asian but says Philippine words like "ina" meaning mother. Eddie realizes that he did see someone burning in the building and begs and begs for forgiveness. Tala tells Eddie that he did save the little girl from the accident. Tala teaches Eddie that the children that surround her were all people who Eddie saved. Eddie always thought his life was meaningless on Earth, but Tala shows him that he has helped and saved so many people throughout his life. Clearly, Eddie is taught a lot from Tala especially about his life, which is why this makes Tala Eddie's fifth person.

The fourth person Eddie meets in heaven is his lovely wife, Marguerite. Eddie and Marguerite loved each other since the day they met. They relive their love in heaven when Eddie meets her. This person Eddie knew as soon as he saw her. Before they met in heaven, Eddie was traveling to different weddings, not his. But soon after they meet, they go to their favorite wedding, their wedding. Marguerite teaches Eddie about love. She says that even if death comes, love will never die. Eddie has learned many life lessons from the people he meets. I think love is the most important one out of the other three. Eddie learns that love never goes away, so he continues to love Marguerite until she moves on and goes away.
The third person Eddie meets in heaven is Ruby after the name, Ruby Pier which was given by her husband, Emile. Emile made Ruby Pier as a wedding promise to Ruby. She was Eddie's third person because without Ruby Pier, Eddie would not be the same without growing up on the pier. Ruby teaches Eddie a lot about forgiveness and how Eddie should forgive his father for his wrongdoings. Although Eddie has suffered so much from his father, he soon learns that he should have patience and forgive him . Ruby is an important figure in Eddie's life in many ways even though Eddie doesn't know it. Forgiveness was the lesson that Eddie learned from Ruby.
The war can change a man in many ways. Eddie is a good example for the war changing men. It made Eddie a lot stronger both on the inside and outside. I personally have never experienced anyone in the war during my time but from The Five People You Meet in Heaven, I've learned a lot about the war the many men. The war can change a man by a man being in the war for a long time. The war changes a man's attitude and makes then depressed and tougher because of what is going on during the war. If I experienced someone changed by the war, I would not start asking thousands of questions, but I would think about it first. I would realize what the men were going through and just leave them alone.
The second person Eddie meets in heaven is his former commanding officer from the army. Eddie would call him "Captain." Eddie and Captain were both prisoners of the war along with their friend, Rabozzo. Eddie knew being at the war would bring him into manhood and Captain would teach him more important things. They had a plan to escape and did, but unfortunately watched Rabozzo die. After they escaped, they never saw each other again. Clearly, Captain played an important role in Eddie's life and is the reason Eddie meets him in heaven.
The first person Eddie meets in heaven is the blue man. The blue man is a man with blue skin and a brown beard. He was one of the people from the freak show. His real name is Joseph Corvelzchik the son of a tailor in a small Polish village. The blue man teaches Eddie that everyone heaven is there for a reason. He also told Eddie that to not be selfish around others because Eddie didn't even know who he was at the funeral for. The blue man soon tells Eddie, "Fairness does not govern life and death. If it did, no good person would ever die young."
This quote was said by the blue man. This quote can mean a lot in many different ways. The way I see it, is that this means that if a person experiences something change or weird happen, they will feel weird and in a confused condition. They would want to know what happened and how it happened. Someone's fate could change and the other person would feel weird about it. If I experienced a fate twist, I would also feel weird because I wouldn't know what has gotten into them. They would be acting differently than they used to. That is what I think this quote means, said by the blue man.
Eddie Maintenance is the main character of this story. He is very outgoing and kind. People think of him as a very polite old man. He risked his life to save a little girl's life on the most popular roller coaster, Freddy's Free Fall. Eddie knows he is close to dying because the doctors had bad reports for him like how he had shingles. Eddie likes children and not teenagers because teenagers give him headaches. Eddie knew the children trusted him when they looked at him. Customers knew who Eddie was because he worked there for so long. In conclusion, Eddie was a hardworking, old man who cares a lot about the people who enter the amusement park.
The five people I would want to meet in heaven are:
Jackie Robinson: ~What was racism in baseball like? ~It is peaceful now and the race varies differently among players. ~I think he should've known that he was right for being independent.

Steve Jobs: ~Where did you get the "Apple" idea? ~Your brand expanded and is really improved now. ~You are a very smart and intelligent person who created Apple.
