Paul's Case


            
             This is a story of a young man that lived in a world in which he felt he did not belong. Paul was a chronic liar and a disrespectful student because of feelings of superiority over other people. He despised the social realm of his neighborhood, neighbors and his home because it represented a social hierarchy. The only place Paul felt at home was at Carnagie Hall because of the glitz and excitement of the theater. His desire for this prestigious air was his downfall and eventually led to his demise.
             Paul escaped his perception of reality by divulging himself in his dream of grandeur. This story is a prime example of how a person can transform into a thief and a liar if the dream is not pursued while maintaining integrity. Paul appeared to take pride in his ability to lie to his teachers. The teachers became frustrated in their attempt to help him and eventually lost hope, which created feelings of guilt. .
             When Paul went to work as an usher for Carnagie Hall, his dream came alive. He experienced happiness, contentment and a sense of belonging when his dream seemingly became reality. The father and teachers did not receive the respect shown to the people he ushered, produced by his sense of belonging. After everyone in his section was seated and taken care of, he would sit down in a seat only to be lost in the music and characters of the play. Paul had no desire to be the actors or musicians; he wanted the high-status profile of the attendants.
             The principal of the school felt that Paul was becoming too self-absorbed with the theater and it was becoming more important than the schoolwork. The principal spoke of his concern with Paul's father about Paul's fascination with the theater. Paul's father spoke with Paul's employer and told him that Paul was not to walk through the doors of his establishment. This crushed Paul's dream and only fed his unstable state of mind. The actions of his father, his principle and his employer took away Paul's only foundation for his dream.
