The Five People You Meet in Heaven, CJL

            Have you ever thought about why things happen in life? In the book “The Five People You Meet in Heaven”, Eddie learns how his life was affected by his and others actions. In this book Eddie realizes that there are no random acts in life. He learns that everything is connected. Like Eddie I realized that everything happens for a reason.

            While reading the book, “The Five People You Meet in Heaven”, I've learned a lot of new things about life and how the decisions you make in life while you’re younger, could affect you in the long run. In the book, Eddie runs into the street so he can save his ball. By doing so, the “Blue Man”, swerved out of the way and ended up crashing his car, but by swerving he saved Eddie’s life. Another incident in which the quote takes place is when the Captain shot Eddie in his knee. He might have injured Eddie for his entire life, but he also saved his life by stopping Eddie from going into the burning building. So the quote “ you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind” means that everything is the same. Basically a life is a life. There are no differences between the two.

            All in all, I think every decision is made for a reason. That there are no random acts in life. In my opinion the world is connected by everyone’s decision.
