The quote, "That there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind," to me means that, even though we don't realize it, we have an impact on the lives of everyone we come across. One of our little accidents could cause someone around us their life. On the contrary, something positive we do can also effect others in a good way for years to come.

Every hurt he'd ever suffered, every ache he'd ever endured-it was all as gone as an expired breath. He could not feel agony. He could not feel sadness. I think this means that once his life ended all of his hurt and bad feelings had vanished. He can now be happy with no hurt in his new life.
ReplyDeleteHe does have a better life now that he is in a place where he can be him and be comfortable.
DeleteHe can do more now than what he used to be able to do. He has no worries and is happy.
Deletei agree that any pain he ever felt in any sort of way or form is gone. he is in a better stage of whatever you want to call it... afterlife
DeleteYes he can do a lot more because all of his pain is gone. And he's happy because he feels free.
DeleteEddie didn't believe that "people know when their going to die". He believed that when it's a persons time to die, it's just their time to die. He also thinks about when people die if their last words were good or bad.
ReplyDeleteI agree, he does think that. He was wrong because he didn't know when he was going to die.
DeleteThat is true but maybe at the end when he was saving the little girl he knew that would be his ending.
Deletei agree also that he was good hearted enough knowing he was old and slow he risked his life to save hers knowing he could get hurt or die..
Delete"Every life has one true-love snapshot."
ReplyDeleteI think Eddie means that we all have that one person we love and will always have a picture of them in our memory and a place in our heart. He still remembers Marguerite and the snap shot that he has of her.
I think you are right. That everyone has a snap shot of when they first saw there true love and it will always be with that person forever no matter what.
DeleteI think that's very true because when you get a strong feeling for someone you always have that image of them inside your head.
Deletehe never forgot his one first true love like most people so its understandable that he still remembers her.
DeleteI wonder what he means by "every life".
ReplyDeleteShe would hold his hand and tell him God is proud of him for being a good boy on his birthday, and that will make the world feel right-side up again.
ReplyDeletei think these would be great words of encouragement for anyone to make themselves feel proud of themselves. he was scared but stayed calm and it took a lot out of him so to me it would seem like a good thing to get a good feeling from something like that.
I think that you are right. These would be great words to make a person feel proud of themselves.
DeleteIt's always nice to get things said like that to you especially by your parents. It makes you feel proud of yourself. :)
