Though intriguing, Heaven can sometimes be scary. People try to imagine what it might be like to leave this Earth, and soon they slowly descend from their mountain of clouds, and realize that it is incomprehensible to imagine such an event. Because of this inability to fully grasp the meaning of the afterlife, people have begun to have different perspectives on what heaven means to them. Some fear death, while others invite it into their lives out of curiosity or hope. As for Susie Salmon, she neither feared death nor encouraged it. His murder was unexpected, but George Harvey was the only one who had expected this moment for weeks. The Lovely Bones (novel by Alice Sebold and film directed by Peter Jackson) depicts the fictional incident of a young girl being murdered and her struggle to maintain a portal to the mortal world to contact her family, while also finding within herself, the acceptance to move on with his immortal life in heaven.

It doesn't really matter how the reader expresses their interest in the story, as long as understanding and acceptance is achieved, it's irrelevant how they could have gotten to that point. It is simply a means of preference, if someone likes to imagine their own images and, in doing so, triggers a personal connection with what they may feel heaven actually means to them, or, if the viewing process was done for you, accepting pre-created images that showcase the wonders of heaven and what creativity and cinematography have to offer.
