The fifth person Eddie meets in heaven is a little asian girl named Tala. Back when Eddie was in the war, him and his friends burned down several huts. Eddie thought he saw something run around inside the burning hut and almost died trying to find out. The shadowy object he saw was none other than the little asian girl, Tala. Eddie breaks down and cries for forgiveness. Afterwards, Tala teaches Eddie that his life wasn't meaningless: His purpose was protecting everyone who went on the rides, especially the children. Tala reveals to Eddie that he DID save Amy, but he pushed her out of the way, and didn't pull. She also says that the hands Eddie felt were Tala's as she was keeping him safe by pulling him into heaven.
The fourth person Eddie meets in heaven is Marguerite: Eddie's wife, who died at 47 years old in a car crash. Marguerite taught Eddie that life has to end, but love does not. While they see each other in heaven they mainly talk, and reminisce about their lives, and what had happened during them. Eddie asks for Marguerite to not look like she did before there wedding, but to look the way she was before she died. They dance to the tune of their special song, and when Eddie looks up at her, she is forty seven again.

I chose these quotes because it really shows how war can split people up, AND bring people together, as partners, and as friends. It also shows how war can really take someone's emotions and feelings and beat them with a hammer. When you got to war, you're emotions are like clay. You don't know how it'll change when you keep it tucked away in your pocket. And just like clay, you can mold your emotions and understandings, and you will never know how they will end up after something tough.
The first person Eddie meets in heaven is "The Blue Man". Eddie met this man in heaven because Eddie had killed him. When Eddie was little he dropped a baseball and ran after it while The Blue Man was driving his way. He swerved out of the way and had a heart attack and died. Eddie was completely unaware of that until he got to heaven.
