Page number 66, without context, a military captain asking his old soldier "you still juggle?" seems very out of the blue and confusing. We don't get context for a while, so they kind of gloss over it for now.

Page number 60, some context from the page before is needed. Eddie learns of the war and begins practicing his aim daily on the pier, using a shooting carnival game. One of these days, while Eddie is practicing, an old drunken man named Mickey stumbles up to Eddie. Mickey begins to speak with Eddie, trying to teach him something. Mickey gives Eddie a tip on shooting and killing, he tells him to not think, if he sees a shot he must take it with no hesitation. Mickey grips Eddies shoulder hard as his voice becomes more stern and states, "It's the thinking that gets you killed". Eddie turned to Mickey and stared, Eddie's gaze was met by a cold, hard slap. Eddie went to retaliate with a punch, but mickey stumbled back and looked up at Eddie with sad, teary eyes.

The reaction Mickey has while giving Eddie this advice makes me think Mickey was some sort of veteran or survival of war.

Page number 88, Eddie and his fellow soldiers are finally freed, due to Eddies great skill in juggling. As revenge against the people who imprisoned them, Eddie and the others set the camp ablaze with the several oil barrels they found in the camps. After they light the place on fire Eddie sees a figure of a small child, reminded of his little cousins back home, Eddie began running to save the child, only to be held back by one of his fellow soldiers. Eddie punches him in the nose and continues into the fire, where he doesn't find a child. Eddie learns later that before he entered the burning hut, the captain shot him in the leg, resulting in a life changing injury. The captain tells Eddie that he's seen this exact thing before, a soldier will randomly lose it and begin to hallucinate, often resulting in them dying. The captain states he had no other choice but to shoot Eddie because their prior efforts weren't enough to stop Eddie.

If it's true Eddie was just hallucinating then his injury he earned trying to save that child, the injury that Eddie considered to have ruined his life, was all for nothing.

Page number 57, This is the second page into Eddie's second meeting. After The Blue Man disappeared, the world around Eddie began to change, the blue skies turned charcoal gray and the wooden pier shifted to blackened rubble and fallen trees that looked to go on for miles. It didn't take long for Eddie to remember where he's seen all of this before, Eddie was back in war. The skies flashed into an explosive yellow, the sound of explosions and bomb blasts swallowed the silence that was present only a moment before. Eddie began to run once again, this time it wasn't fun or freeing, this time it was in horror and desperation. Eddie crouched under a tree and attempted to catch his breath from how fast he ran and how scared he was. Though this is heaven, Eddie was still mortified by the idea of being at war once again. This shows how greatly war affected Eddie, and how engraved in his mind the emotions from then still are.

Page number 36. First lets start with page 35, on this page Blue Man explains how when you first emerge in heaven you have no voice. Now that that's explained, back to page 36 Eddie breaks through whatever force was stopping him from speaking and asks The Blue Man how he dies, The Blue Man claims that Eddie is the reason he's dead and begins to tell his story. The Blue Man finally introduces himself as Joseph Corvelzchik and explains his life and his death. He explains that on Eddies seventh birthday, Eddie and his friends accidentally tossed their baseball into the road, Eddie ran out into the street to retrieve it and recklessly ran in front of a car Joseph Corvelzchik was borrowing from his friend. Luckily, Joseph swerved from Eddies path and missed him, but due to Josephs heart conditions and the sudden rush of adrenalin, Joseph falls unconscious and passes out while driving, almost driving head first into another car, once again only narrowly missing but due to his quick swerve Joseph road into an alley way where he eventually crashed which ultimately caused his death. Due to Eddies reckless act he inadvertently killed a seemingly kind and innocent man.

Page number 32. This is the page Eddie meets the first of five people on his journey to heaven. The Blue Man was someone Eddie vaguely knew when he was a young boy, he was a circus performer with blue skin that was caused due to a toxic silver chemical that wasn't properly tested for human safety. The Blue Man asks Eddie if his body feels like that of a child, Eddie nods and The Blue Man explains how that's a common occurrence that will happen during his meeting with each of the 5 guides Eddie will meet. Depending on the age, Eddie was when he knew the person he's speaking with will determine the feeling of his body and possibly mind. I'm assuming that throughout the book every person Eddie meets will be from an older point in his life, causing Eddie's body and mind to slowly change as he travels.

Page number 29. This page is when Eddie first enters the afterlife. The afterlife he's presented with takes the form of the boardwalk where Eddie worked, but it wasn't the same, the boardwalk took the appearance of a newer and less run down form, the appearance Eddie remembers from when he was younger. This makes Eddie feel similar to how he felt when he was a young boy, and he begins to run around the boardwalk. This is the first time Eddie had freely run sense he was in the war around 40 years ago. This page demonstrates how even though Eddie is an old man, he still has an inner child, just like everyone else.

Page number 18. This is the page Eddies time runs out. Eddie died saving the life of a little girl he met only that day. He didn't think before he moved, he lunged into motion, stepping full force on his bad leg. We later learn this is the first time he's ran since the war. Whether Eddie saved the girl's life is still unknown, but no matter the outcome, Eddie still gave his life to try and save another. This shows that Eddie is truly a good person.
