What traditional/fairy tale or mythical idea of heaven do you have?
(You do not have to believe in Heaven to have an image of it)
How does the heaven in the novel relate to this?
i think a lot of traditions, fairy tales and myths have an idea that heaven is up in the sky above, in the clouds and their is a golden gate that determines whether you are worthy of entering heaven. if you are, the gate opens, if you are not the gate remaind shut.
some christian beliefs think that sinners who do not ask for forgiveness go to hell or are homosexuals go to hell. But people are buried underground, so maybe heaven is deep underground?
the heaven in the novel does not quite meet the stereotypical elements of what heaven is, but reflecting on your life is something that is often said through traditions, fairy tales and myths of what happens when you go to heaven.

I quite like the idea that Eddie's heaven being moments form the past - making it personalised I guess.
