Paul seems educated to Rick and Elizabeth but under the surface Paul does not truly have a true understanding of his teachings. Rodriguez and the film Six Degrees of Separation both emphasize the importance of role models and the effects these teachers inflict on their students. In the promotional material of the film Jenna Gibbs asserts that the film tagline delves into a deeper subtext “For Paul, every person is a new door to a new world,” a catchy phrase that foreshadowed the story’s theme of interlocking human connections and community.” (Gibbs 903) When Paul meets Rick and Elizabeth it is an opportunity to play the part of a teacher but Paul is just an actor who has memorized his lines to pretend to be the son of Flan Kitteridge. Paul like the scholarship boy must rehearse his thoughts and without the direction of others Paul would be lost.

1. Cass Mastern’s story, though at first seemingly unnecessary and random, shares many elements and themes with Jack’s life. The story of Jack Burden and Cass Mastern are alike in that they involve the cycle of betrayal, guilt, and the burden of responsibility. Cass Mastern commits the ultimate betrayal- he sleeps with his best friend’s wife. Duncan Trice, who was “passionately and single-mindedly devoted to his wife”, commits suicide upon finding out of the affair with a “lead slug nearly the size of a man’s thumb in his chest” (Warren 4.237-243).

Throughout the story Paul shows that he cares about his comrades by protecting them from the dangers of war, and he also displays that he will guide them in war. Paul uses his skills of intelligence to guide his team in the trenches and at the front, and he passes on his knowledge and tricks of war to the new recruits. Not many soldiers have all of these qualities, which makes Paul stand out more than his comrades. Even today some men don't express the passion and leadership Paul shows in All Quiet on the Western Front, which brings up the fact that the war needs more men like Paul. To sum up, Paul is an honest and true man who will always be there for his comrades when needed, and he is a man the troops are proud to say is a patriotic

Along with this Mawi’s parents “Hammered into our minds the importance of excelling in school”(Pg 33). Twolde’s tragic death at first caused Mawi to mourn, but later this event ends up making Mawi remember him fondly and want to be like him.

As Paul goes from Carnegie Hall to the Schenley to Cordelia Street, “Paul never went up Cordelia Street without a shudder of loathing… He approached it tonight with the nerveless sense of defeat, the hopeless feeling of sinking back forever into ugliness and commonness that he always had when he came home.” (238) Paul does not even feel like he belongs at home. He is totally disgusted with his life, which increases the alienation and isolation that he feels, as he feels that he is the only one who does not belong in this world that he absolutely loathes.

Willa Cather’s short story, “Paul’s Case” is about a young man who is determined to make his aspirations a reality by all means necessary. That meant being deceitful as a start of gaining control and social status and telling lies to get to where he felt like he belonged, but where did he belong? This desire was the beginning of a journey that would eventually leave him with nothing. There is something unusual about Paul, something that can only be explained by his demeanor and actions throughout the story. With that said, I intend to construct a complete character analysis of Paul as he searches for satisfaction.
