The Apostle Paul Monologue

What’s one of the greatest examples of something horrible a sociopath can do? Throw a young boy into a wall after already torturing him. Then continuing to torture him more afterwards. Taunting him, trying to break him down until his entire being is but a lifeless doll. Yeah, that sounds like a good example.
“Oh how time flies by when you’re having fun!” “Not everyone has the same type of fun, Paul.”Blood was splattered across the ground. A thin line of blood trailed down the side of the boy’s mouth. He looked up to come face to face with a dark stillness.
It took a few moments before his eyes began to adjust to the murkiness of the room. Eventually as time passed he began to make out the flickering silhouette form that painted itself in

The hairs on his back stood tall as he felt warm, heavy breathing come from behind his ear. “The fact that you show no remorse towards the situation and have the guts to do something like right now that shows that you true nature.”
The pain intensified as the person dug the boy’s body into the ground. Scoffing, the boy could only hoarsely whisper in reply, “Like you’re one to talk Paul. Beating the hell out of children and doing what you’re doing now I’d say the only person’s true nature showing right now is yours.”
Paul growled at the remark. He let go of the boy and kicked the boy over onto his back. Kneeling down, he reached inside his pocket to reveal a army knife. He flipped it open and gripped the handle as tightly as possible. The corner of his mouth quirked up and his eyes bore into the boys. Before Thantos knew it he felt the insides of his body tearing itself apart. His body screamed out at him to find a way to make it all stop.
“You know what boy, I don’t like that tone of yours. And for that, I’ll make sure your death is as slow and painful as it can be.” Paul

    As Chance secured the buggy, he watched Kat spread a blanket on the ground. She sat down, pressing her blue calico dress next to her ankles. Perhaps the mild April air reminded him of home, but somehow her simple action took him a lifetime away, to another woman, to another time, to memories he’d always hold dear to his heart. Thoughts of his own wife made him wonder how Jake had ever let Kat get away.…

    The death of Paul’s friends, the most brutal experiences of all, robs Paul of his emotional self, leaving a practical, cold shell. For example, when Kemmerich dies, Paul and his friends take a practical approach to his death: “We are by Kemmerich’s bed. He is dead. The face is still wet from the tears. The eyes are half open and yellow like old horn buttons… I feel a hunger, greater than comes from the belly alone”(33)…

    War With Words The use of communication in the modern day can lead to either utter havoc, peaceful reconciliation or a joyous celebration; it all depends on how the series of small syllabled words are stringed together. Some individuals may choose to impact the world negatively though their words, while others unite a community and do heroic things by simply speaking. In the novel/autobiography An Ordinary Man, by Paul Rusesabagina, words are used in many different ways to both save and take away innocent lives. The novel follows the 1994 Rwandan Genocide from the perspective of Paul as he tried relentlessly to save lives.…

    It is a common practice in short fiction to highlight the negative aspects of the human struggle. One of the main ways this is conveyed in through isolation which brings intense focus on the actions of the main character. In “Paul’s Case” by Willa Cather, the main character, Paul, is a young teen that is considered a “bad case” because he is unable to act like the typical child his age. This is intensifies when he steals money and runs away to New York. In Katherine Mansfield’s “Miss Brill” the main character is an older woman who, instead of interacting with others and living her life, chooses to put on her fur coat and watch as people meander around her.…

    The dissocial sociopath is psychologically normal, yet aligns their self with a group that regularly breaks social norms and is violent. Militia groups, organized crime and guerrilla soldiers are parts of this group. These people have a circle of friends or co-conspirators for whom they feel genuine affection for, however, they disregard the feelings of people outside this group. A perfect example of a dissocial sociopath would be most political figures. The first to come to mind would be Adolf Hitler.…

    Analysis of Paul 's Actions in the Story Paul 's Case The case of Paul presents many complex angles that may have affected Paul in ways that are difficult to determine, such as his upbringing, family life (or lack of), time period, sexuality, and others. Paul developed an unhealthy relationship with art, to the point of obsession. An unrelated, but no less destructive view of money fused with his art addiction to eventually lead to Paul 's downfall. These two independent problems are not unusual (especially concerning money), but they may have been fused together by Paul 's struggle with his sexually in a non-accepting time period. Paul has a relationship with art strikingly similar to the relationship a drug addict has with his…
