I spend my rest time to read this article, not only because it's my homework, but also because I was arracted by some of the short stories in this book. Some of them are funny and exciting, some of them are meaningful and sad, I liked both of these two kinds. So, even though I was sleepy, I wake myself by using cold towel and coffee, and spend a whole hour to read this: "Paul's Case", by Willa Cather. Now I am all though, I finished this 20 page story, which is a really long one as short story, and now I should tell what in my mind. Unlike "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson and "Just Lather, That's all" by Hernando Tellez, which are stories filled with nervousness; or "The Guest" by Albert Camus and "The Destructors" by Graham Greene, which are stories that fulfilled with heavy tone and symbol, "Paul's Case" was just unique. It has another kind of power that.....
Well, let's just go straight forward: It's nothing but a full load of diarrhoea bullshit!! The story line makes NO sense, because it's too damn long and too damn seperated that it's almost impossible to organize! Basically it's a kid called Paul ---- That's fair enough because his name was in the title ---- travelled through several cities for no reason at all, he was somehow the least welcomed guy in his school, and for some reason this guy loved to run like hell as if his ass is on fire. Well I guess I will hate him too because you ought to be quiet while walking through corridor between classrooms in order not to disturb the others! For some damn reason even teachers hate him too, and his father was called to school for a talk. During the conversation, this guy smiled like an idiot, and as soon as he left the office, he started that crazy running again!What an asshole! For some reason he attempted a concert or drama like thing and he love the actress like hell, he even stalked her to her hotel untill he was stopped by the door guard. After these nasty things were done, he looks innocent again, since he was "poor" and "cold", his boot was "leaking water". So, what's the point? Here is a bastard who stalk people and love to bang his feet on the floor, will anyone feel sorry for him because he was cold and poor? Imagine Hitler in shabby clothes and standing in snow with barefeet and selling matches, will you cry if he freeze to death in the end of the damn story?! What were they thinking?!
Let's back to the shitty story. Paul started to travel all around, and of course for no damn reason. This guy has the best trip plan ever, he just randomly come here and go there, without any clue of what to do, and even after he arrived his target city, he remains doing nothing but showing an idiot face. He went through a huge round then came back to his start point, trip over. He didn't seems learnt any thing useful, and as reader I didn't learn any thing but shit either. After all, the ending just pathetic. For some damn reason this guy crashed by some heavy shit, and I have no damn clue that if he crash on that thing on purpose of just accident. Well, maybe he died, maybe not. If he died, then just rest in peace and don't bang hell's floor like crazy; if he lived, he'd better hope the reader of his story won't come and use whatever they got to beat the shit outta him.
In the end, I apologize for being foul.
