The fourth person Eddie meets in heaven is his wife Marguerite, and what is different about meeting her is that it was not just one day it was many days. One day Eddie was betting money on horses when Marguerite got hit with the glass bottle from the windshield and got put in the hospital and bed rest for 6 months. She died later of cancer and this destroyed Eddie and he was by her side till the minute she died. They spent days together just talking about what they missed from each others lives. Eddie also asked her if he saved the girl and he got no answer.
Eddie didn't realize it until he met Ruby, but it wouldn't be Ruby pier without Ruby. Ruby got married to Emile and he promised her he would build her a boardwalk and he did. He spent years until it was finally done, but soon after there was a fire that destroyed Ruby Pier and this made Emile depressed for the rest of his life. Ruby also explained to Eddie how his father died because he met Ruby in heaven by seeing his father in the diner and at the end of their conversation Ruby explained how his father died, like Eddie his father died at the pier and he died from pneumonia. This made his mother very depressed and she still thought he was alive and always left him with jobs and talked to him, after Eddie heard about his mom he moved to a new apartment in the same building as his mother. Ruby was a big part in Eddie's life because she was the one who came up with Ruby Pier where Eddie and his father lived most of there lives.
Eddie's death caused the plot to change a lot such as the meeting the people he met so far. Eddie would have never known the "Blue man", and never known he was the cause of his death. Eddie would have also never met his captain and hear a recap about the war and his knee got in such bad shape. The plot of the story would have changed if the story did not start with Eddie's death because they wouldn't be able to explain the people Eddie met which so far is the "blue man" and "the captain."
The captain was the person Eddie followed in the war and he saved the pain from Eddie's leg in the fire. The captain took care of Eddie and the other men when they were captured and Eddie helped them escape and that only caused something worse. There was a fire and Eddie's leg was in it so the captain shot his leg to ease the pain, this is why Eddie has to use a cane for his knee. The second person Eddie met in heaven (the captain) taught him sacrifice and this was why all the men escaped and the captain sacrificed himself in the war to save his neighbor. The captain was a big part of Eddie's life and he didn't realize, I wonder who he will meet next!!
"Eddie Maintenance," a little girl yelled out. This is Eddie and he works at Ruby Pier and is in charge of fixing any problems on the rides. One day it just wasn't that easy and this maintenance caused Eddie to fall to his death. Eddie died on his birthday fixing a cart on Freddy's free fall and the cord snapped and fell on Eddie, but Eddie died doing what he loved watching over the rides and talking with the kids. "Amy?? Annie??," was the name of the last kid that wrapped around his leg, and the last kid he saved(???). Now he is in heaven and meeting people he came in contact with in his life. Today is Eddie's Birthday.
The blue man was the first person Eddie met in heaven, but Eddie thought he was a stranger. Eddie was the cause of the blue mans death, when Eddie was young he ran into the street to get a baseball, the blue man was driving and saw Eddie this caused him to have a heart attack. The blue man had a hard life because he had blue skin, this was because he drank silver nitrate, he got bullied because of this so in heaven he said his skin turned back to normal. Eddie learned a lesson from the blue man and this was heaven makes your dreams come true. I learned that you may think people are strangers, but they may have also been right next to you all your life.

This means that when one door closes another one opens. This has happened to me many times, but this time in particular. This is right after my grandpa died and he owned a factory, my family and I are now a big part of this factory and we go there every break. My dad has known the people who work there since he was 12 and now we consider them family. Patty, Tiloki, Ramona, and Sandy are a big part of how this factory keeps on moving forward. This shows that even though my grandpas death was very tragic it opened a door and now we keep it going. My Grandpa: This is because I never got to say good-bye to him. Joan Rivers: This is because I could use a laugh any time of the day. Babe Ruth: This si because I want to learn how to play baseball from the best. Albert Einstein: So I can learn all of his theories about the future. Steve Jobs: his is because I can learn all he further ideas he had for apple to make it strive |
