What is the meaning of the last line of the story? The story went through all of Eddie’s birthdays. The Mitch Albom went through all of Eddie's birthdays was because he died on his birthday. So he could save that little girl. From the falling cart from a ride named Freddie's Free Fall. That was the sad part of the book. That Eddie risked his life for that little girl, at Ruby Pier. After that sad part of the book Eddie goes up to heaven. And meets this little girl that he had killed in the war that he was in. And some other people.

The first line of the quote “All endings are also beginnings.” That when we think it is the end of something it is not the end it is just the opposite of that. When Mitch had the part in the book where the cart from Freddie's Free Fall was falling of the ride and hiding to the ground where there was a little girl was standing. I was on the end of my seat to hear what happens. I loved the book so

For example, A was the most significant, B less, and so on.…
