The Mentors

     I am raeding a book called, "The Five People You Meet in Heaven," written by Mitch Albom. In this book the main character (Eddie) has 5 mentors. The one I have specifically chosen is the third person Eddie meets in heaven. Her name is Ruby. Ruby pier was named after her and that is where Eddie worked his whole life. The main lesson Ruby taught Eddie was to forgive. Eddie had all his anger built up inside him over the years because he hated his father, for being so hard on him when he was young and worse as Eddie grew older. Eddie held his father responsible for ruining his life and making him stay and work at Ruby Pier for the rest of his life when he died. Ruby told him , " Forgive, Edward. Forgive. Do you remember how light you felt when you first came to Heaven?"(Mitch Albom, The 5 People You Meet in Heaven, pg 142) Ruby taught Eddie how to forgive for his third lesson in Heaven. Like I said at the beggining of the piece this was only one of Eddies Mentors. If you want to know more, read the book.

What Is Clasic?

     Classic, in my oppinion, is a story or tale that was publised a while ago and people still pick up the book and love it. If your parent and there friends loved a book or other type of media from there generation and you read it and love it, aswell as your friends or aquantinces it would be considered a classic.
      The qualities of a classic the book I am reading now has are, it with stood the test of time, and more than one generation of people picked it up and loved it. This book was published almost 8 years ago and people are still interested in it. When my mom first told me about this book I thought about an oldie book from when she was my age. I was completely wrong. The book is full of different events and storie lines.I am loving this book just like my mom before I.
     I think future generations of students should read this book because it shows that a book can have more than one major event can happen in a storie. I think future generations should read this book because some people lose interest during a slow part. The great thing about this book is once you start to get bored the whole story loops around to make you interested again in a whole different event, even though all the events are connected.
