A Short Story : A Story?

Paul's has just moved to Gate a prestigious school at which his mother works at. Coming out of a troubling divorce his mother packs up pal and moves. A few weeks after he moved to town he started becoming friends with Charlie. People's differing views towards Charlie leaves Paul at a stuck point with many people in his life. For example Binky, Paul's best friend for a while took him in, hung out with him, and made him feel like a friend.

What had so upset me about my day with Paul? Before then nothing in my personal, academic, or volunteer experiences had shaken my single-minded commitment to medicine. Why was I so unprepared for what I saw? Was it the proximity of death, knowing Paul was terminal? No it couldn’t have been. As a young

He realizes just like his father and his mother he is using drug and alcohol to cope with his pain is slowly killing them. Paul still didn’t know if he wants to live or die so he flirts with the idea of death, but he stops himself at the last second.

However, Paul does not show any emotion in his description of his experience. Instead, he plainly tells about the incident. Paul has become indifferent to the threat of being killed by a shell because he is faced with this threat quite often.

Paul made that decision because he does not like his brother because he was bullying his friends. Paul started to gain confidence from that moment. Paul shows the confidence he gains when he helps Tino and Victor escape from the gym by standing up to Arthur and Erik when they meet when Paul was running away from the gym. He does what Luis did to confront Erik and Arthur by saying he is not scared. Then, Erik has had it so the drove away.

This proves that paul is no longer afraid of Erik and will stand up to him now. Paul now can stand up to people unlike before when he was to afraid. That he doesn’t have to hide from anybody. Paul will never lie again from now on he will only tell the

Paul says "Then I know nothing more" after Kat dies meaning that Paul feels as if life is pointless and he has no one left. Because Paul's bestfriend died, he feels like the world has ended.

Paul knew the importance of this meeting. He had already been in this before more than once maybe twice. As he sat in complete silence, his last encounter with Principal Sweet played in his mind over and over again.

When he does interact with the people back home, he feels as though he can not connect with them and that he can not connect with his former self. Paul’s feeling of being cut-off by the world stems from not being with his friends and family, his change in mindset and perspective from the war, and how he fails to connect with his old friends, and his former self.

Because he is selfish and desperate to escape his normal life, he does not think about the consequences of his actions nor does he appreciate what he has. Once he is forbidden from attending his job at Carnegie Hall, we start to see the worst of Paul. Instead of talking to someone about his problems, Paul starts to lie to his father and steal money from his employer just to try to live the way he always wanted.

Life plays quite some game with everyone. The first time the two met, Paul was looking at Mariusz Tomaszewski for mercy as he threatened

Paul is not able to perform his job well due to, in his opinion, being tired.

She glanced back to Kevin, ignoring her subordinate. “We need to figure out what’s wrong with you. Take this. It’ll calm you down.”

“I thought for sure that guy was going to kill me, Paul. I could feel it,” she finally said. “He didn’t seem that bad—he smiled when he stopped to give me the ride—but as we drove he started groping me already. I think he took me to the town square to show me off, but I could see in his eyes he was going to kill me.”

“Yeah unconscious ha ha ha about that i just acted knocked out cause the last time this happened i tried asking the people to bring me back to their house they shot me.”explained paul
