1.Do you think it’s Eddie killed the blue man? Why?
I do not think so.There must be some problem with blue man’s heart, or he would never be killed in the small accident. It can be called as “disease” not “not strong”. A person with heart disease is not allowed to drive in some countries because it both dangerous to the person and other people. He knows his heart is “not strong”, so he should not drive a car.
2.If the blue man hit Eddie with the Ford car, what would happen to him then?
If Eddie was hit, may be he would killed in the accident. To the blue man, I think he cannot survive either. Because he has a heart disease, he will get the “heart attack” too when he saw someone was killed by him.
3.How do you know about Eddie’s father in these two chapter?
From these two chapter, I know he is a maintenance of the park, the same with Eddie. He likes play cards and smoking. The relationship between Eddie and his father may be not that well.
4. How the blue man become blue?
A chemist gave him a bottle of silver nitrate and told him to take it everyday. But it is poisonous. Then he take too much of this so called medicine and his skin turned into the strange color.
5.After Eddie’s death, what is the thing Eddie cares most?
It in the accident, whether he saved the girl’s life or not.

Summary:
In this chapter, Eddie had a conversation with the blue man, and they were talking about different things. Eddie was shocked when the blue man said that he will meet five different people in the heaven, and the blue man is one of them. The blue man started tell Eddie his story and gave some information about himself such as how his skin became blue.
Key points:
1. Blue man shocked Eddie.
2. Blue man story.
Meshari, why did the Blue Man shock Eddie? Why do you think he is a significant character for Eddie to meet? We see in this chapter of the book that, though he was unknown to Eddie, the Blue Man was important in Eddie's life. (Hint: Jun has mentioned this link in her connection paragraph!)
DeleteEvery person who Eddie is going to meet have a one lesson for Eddie. When Eddie was asking the blue man some questions about life and death, suddenly, the blue man wanted to go and lets Eddie takes another step to the second person.
DeleteI added these sentences to my summary. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteIn these two chapters,Eddied meet the first person who died for him. The blue man tell that he will meet 5 people in the heaven, and everyone he meet is a reason. Heaven can help people understand everybody's life on earth. The blue man id the first person,but Eddie don't know him.In the following article,I know the blue man saved Eddie,but he died when Eddie was 7 years old.Until Eddie attended his funeral,he still didn't know what happened.The man tell him"No life is a waste,the only waste is the time we spend time thinking we are alone."This sentence let me shocked.For me, I always feel lonely and boring and think playing means "waste time",but I don't know I stay at home and complain that I'm lonely are also waste time.Besides,In the article,the blue man says"people think of heaven as a paradise garden,a place where they can float on clouds and laze in rivers and mountains, but scenery without solace is meaningless".I always think heaven is a big white flower garden,and there are many beautiful angels. However,now I feel maybe that's a heaven,but not mine.So where's my heaven,I think the place where my parents and friends stay is the heaven for me because my soul can feel at ease there.

ReplyDeleteEddie went to the haven and met the first person there. While speaking the man moved out from that place, Eddie followed him. The place where the man stopped at was the same pier when Eddie was just a kid. During this time the man was talking to Eddie using body language. They spent the rest of the time in chapter 4 at the same place, the blue man talking and Eddie listening and thinking with confusion about what was told. After the blue man finished his story, Eddie "felt shiver".
Eddie Birthday.
he was playing by a ball with his brother at the Ruby pier. when they lost the ball, they started looking for it close to the tent. When a man and women appeared and Eddie's brother escaped panicky. However, Eddie did not go till he took his ball.
