Miscommunication Problem In Paul's Section

Putting pen to paper, Paul pleas with the Corinthians to better themselves through Christ Jesus. While in discourse with the Corinthians, the polemic language of Paul becomes, at times, difficult to digest. While pursuing a better relationship with the believers in Corinth, the apostle often used terms such as ‘we,’ ‘our,’ and ‘us.’ These pronouns can be understood in multiple ways; however, the manner in which they are comprehended sheds light on Paul’s agenda. In the analysis of 2 Corinthians 4: 8-18, the pronouns are best understood as being inclusive in terms of Paul, his followers, and the believers in Corinth.

During part two Paul has already developed from an event that really shows heroism. According to the Tangerine “When we got to Tangerine MIddle, the bus doors opened, and the War Eagles got out to

Paul’s flashback on page 34, “This was the first day when I would be accompanied by no one except Erik, my fifth-grade brother. But Erik didn’t accompany me for long. He was standing at the front of the school-bus line with his fifth grade friends when one of them turned to me and called to me, ‘Hey, how many fingers am I holding up?’ I didn’t realize at first that the boy was talking to me, and I had no idea what he meant. Erik and his friends laughed about the joke, then the bus doors opened and we all filed in.”

On question 2 I think Paul could have maybe learned in the split second before his decision to kill himself. He realized all that he was giving

The story cuts away to some time later, when Paul had been working at Denny and Carson's long enough to earn their trust. Denny and Carson came to entrust Paul with the week's payroll. His responsibility was to take it to the bank and make the deposit. One weekend, however, Paul was instructed to take the ledger in to be balanced, and Paul knew about it ahead of time. He asked his bosses for the next day, Saturday, off citing a plausible excuse. When he took the deposit down to the bank on Friday, Paul pocketed

But by the time you get to page 284, everything has changed. On page 284 the text states, “I saw-I heard Erik Fisher tell him to do that”. After all this time, Erik has kept the truth captive. But now, Paul finally releases the truth. He finally releases himself from those chains of fear.

Taylor Smith Lisa Grundy ENG 112- 869B April 28, 2024 Paul’s Case Literature Review "Paul's Case" profoundly spoke to me. The details provided by the author gave an insight into his difficult life. The author included great detail that showcased Paul's life. The theme of "Paul's Case" is Paul's increasing desire and demand for money to better his life for himself.

The setting of the short story “Paul’s Case” is clear and appropriate for the story. This is because Paul's feelings in the story happen to have a direct connection to the setting of the story. The East Coast of the United States is where the story takes place. From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Newark, New Jersey, and then on to New York, New York, the exact setting differs throughout the story. “…the dull dawn was beginning to show grey when the engine whistled a mile out of Newark” (Cather).

From there, he plans to make his way to the glamorous New York City, a city

While reading through the above passage, I felt mortified for Paul. In my head I imagined being walked into a room and the doors being opened only to find my grave five feet below my feet. Questions after questions flowed through my mind; why is Paul being executed and why was this recollection of the past so significant? Asking questions like this before continuing assists me in better understanding of the characters as it causes me to ask myself “how will this be vital to the character long term?” A straightforward task of asking yourself the five Ws’ can contribute to a better conclusion of the novel as it encourages you to answer your own questions of curiosity.

Paul was a self-oriented boy, concerned with money, wealth, and glamour, raised in a Calvinist household that supported these ideals. Through my research I have decided that Paul's eventual fate was not any one person's fault. Paul was just as much to blame as his father and teachers for Paul's suicide.
