final reflection

after reading the Five People You Meet in Heaven, I have decided that it is a book everyone should read. I really enjoyed it because I was able to relate it to my own life. When Eddie dies and meets each person with a lesson I was able to connect those lessons with other books, TV shows, or events I have seen. Throughout the book I kept wondering if Eddie saved the little girl or if he would reunite with his father and Margurite. This book kept me on my toes every time I truned a page and read about the next person Eddie would meet in heaven. I would deffinately reccomend this book to anyone looking for a good summer novel.

Reflection

The novel, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, by Mitch Albom is very inspiring. I liked the lessons that Eddie learns, and how it can connect to other people's lives as well. I also like how it shows that no life is unimportant. Everyone impacts each other, and although some people may seem to play insignificant roles each person has a reason for meeting you. I loved how in the ending Eddie's fifth person was a little girl, who he burned in the fire. I also love how Eddie finally realized where his home was, which became his heaven. And his home was Ruby Pier. I think that it is a great book, and would recommend it to everyone.

Final Reflection

The Five People You Meet in Heaven, by Mitch Albom was a really good book. I really liked how the book went to his life in heaven and flashbacked to his birthdays. I thouhgt this book was really inspiring and shows people that no matter how small of a life they think they live, they really are impacting lives. It also wasn't a predictable book. I thought i knew who Eddie was going to meet in heaven and I was wrong. I thought the end of this book was amazing. I had no clue about the girl in the fire and I never made the connection until I kept reading the book. I thought this book was sad but also inspiring and I was happy that in the end of it Eddie found his heaven and it was ironic how his heaven was in Ruby Pier. This was one of my favorite books and I really enjoyed reading it.

Reflection

The novel, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, by Mitch Albom, was an great book. This was a good book because it wasn't about the same thing threw out the whole book. The scenery, characters, and emotion of the story changed every time Eddie would go meet a new person in heaven, or when it would flash back to his past. Because Mitch Albom didn't have the whole book take place in one place, it made the book more interesting. This book makes you think about the littlest thing you do for someone, could mean so much more then you could ever think to them, and one day it will all come back to you. Eddies "meaningless" life really turned out to mean a lot to other people. Even the little things he did for people had a big impact on their lives.

Final Reflection

The Five People You Meet in Heaven, for me, was unlike any book I have ever read. This book was interesting, inspirational, and really changes your outlook on life. Eddie was the type of ordinary guy who thought his role in life was meaningless. A lot of people today could feel this way, but finally when he had died and gone onto heaven, he had finally figured out his role and how he really had effected others. Before I had read this book, I really thought I hadn't effected many people in a big way, but after it makes me wonder what the little things I have done to effect other people. When Eddie had arrived in heaven, he had finally learned how many lives he had impacted. His journey through heaven had relieved all his regrets, grudges, and anger because heaven is a place where you let everything go and just enjoy yourself. Everyone always told me, before I read this book, how good it is, but I really never thought it would be as good as it was. From now on in life, I will appreciate the little things that people do for me, and I hope the little things I do will impact other peoples lives as well.

Final Reflection

I think that The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a great novel that teaches the reader many lessons. It teaches us the lessons of sacrifice and forgiveness. It also left us with many questions regarding heaven. It puts our lives into perspective and shows the readers that you can still live and love, way beyond life and death. It makes you realize that you should live the life that you have now to the fullest and do as many things as you can, and not to let regret build up inside of you, because it can destroy you. Eddie learned that forgiving someone takes a lot more strength and courage, then hating them. I also learned that in order to move forward in life, sometimes you have to forgive yourself and take some blame. This is a short novel with so many lessons packed into it. I really enjoyed reading it.

Final Reflection

The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom was a great novel on how the simplest things can affect your life.  This novel was an an easy read because it kept me want to read because of all the cliffhangers after each chapter.   This was overall a good book to read because of it's very interesting plot and vast settings. 

This was an inspiring book because it showed changes create for different opportunities. It also portrays the domino affect of life and how with littlest action someone's life can change forever.  Also this book was a great example of how just because something ends doesn't mean it's all over.  Because of this it made me take a different perspective on life and how something bad can eventually turn into something good.  I believe people who read this book too will see things differently in there life even if it make them change just a little bit.
