A friend of mine sent me a couple of Eps files and I am trying to figure out how do I convert them into shapes or objects so that I can use them in my designs for Illustrator..

Welcome to the forum!

An eps file could be alot of things. Im guessing that the eps your talking about is a raster image? In this case, there is no easy solution. You are going to need to trace it illustrator yourself, or send the file to a professional to do it for you.

Check out this page.

Can I send one of the files to your email address and you let me know what direction I need to go in? Thanks

eps files can be either vector or raster. Like Jon mentioned they are probable raster. If they are simple one color images you should be able to trace them to vector. If they are intense graphics you might need to use the image as a template and using the pen tools, recreate the design by tracing.
