he loves centipedes
At the end of "James and the Giant Peach," the centipede, along with the other insect friends, finds a new home in New York City after their journey in the giant peach. The centipede embraces his newfound freedom and happiness, celebrating their adventure and the strong bond formed among the group. He also takes on a more confident role, enjoying life above the ground rather than hiding in the dirt. The story concludes with a sense of belonging and joy for all the characters.
James' happy life at the English seaside is rudely ended when his parents are killed by a rhinoceros and he goes to live with his two horrid aunts. Daringly saving the life of a spider he comes into possession of magic boiled crocodile tongues, after which an enormous peach starts to grow in the garden. Venturing inside he meets not only the spider but a number of new friends including a ladybug and a centipede who help him with his plan to try and get to New York.
James a boy who's parents were eaten by a rhino, lives with his terribly mean aunts Sponge and Spiker, when one day a strange man gives James a bad of magical crocodile tongues, that will change Jame's life forever, all he has to do is eat them. But James drops the bag, and the tongues help an old peach tree and bugs instead. It makes a peach on the tree grow bigger than a house. The two aunts use the peach to try and get famous. James one night, while being forced to pick up trash outside, takes a bite from the peach when a tunnel appears going inside the peach. James crawls into the tunnel ( This is where the movie turns into a collimation), where he meets a bunch of bugs ( Miss Spider, Mr Old Green Grasshopper, Mr. Earthworm, Mr. Centipede, Mrs. Ladybug, Ms. Glowworm, and the silkworm) that are bigger than him, and they talk. Together they leave his aunts, by rolling the peach off a cliff and into the ocean. But when in the ocean a bunch of sharks start eating the peach so James forms a plan to tie a hundred seagulls to the peach. The seagulls lift the peach out of the water, and James and the bugs are on their way to a happier place, in this case, New York city. When they arrive they cause much confusion by landing on the Empire State Building. They safely get off and James and the bugs live in Central Park in a house made of the peach pit, happily ever after.
cuz he had a horrible life and the inhabitants are nicer
I think the ap of James and the Giant Peach is that people need to face their fears not run away from them because James could have run away from Aunt Spiker and Aunt Sponge but instead he faced his fears.
Eddie was comparing his life to a Centipede in the story.

He was very happy with his parents, but they were killed and he had to go live with his aunts who were very mean.
James and the Giant Peach, Arthur and the Invisibles
A centipede can live 3 - 7 years. Depends on the species.
In "James and the Giant Peach" by Roald Dahl, the story begins with a description of James and his unfortunate life living with his two cruel aunts, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. The opening lines set the stage for James's hardships and the magical adventure that is about to unfold. If you need the exact wording, I recommend checking a copy of the book for the precise text.
If this is about real life, and not some odd video game - the answer is No.
