"Paul's Case" Post #1 (Due Friday, 10/17)

As already mentioned in class, my goal through blogging is to open up a new medium by which we use technology to our advantage to discuss and share various aspects of literature outside of the classroom. Feel free to post any ambiguities or questions , formulate any connections, raise meaningful and insightful points regarding "Paul's Case", thoughts, or even debate issues amongst one another (keeping in mind that it is the issue we are debating, not the author of the post). Also make sure you leave your: LAST NAME, FIRST INITIAL (PERIOD #). Anonymous posts will be deleted regardless of its insight.

I will try to "prime" our literary minds by posing a few questions, however you are not obligated to respond to any of them...they are merely rhetorical questions. What are your thoughts regarding Paul, your diagnosis if you will? Some have commented by stating that Paul is delusional, living in a fairy tale...is he? Will "Paul's World" catch up with him? Is he a perfectly normal or average individual with an overly active imagination or does he act with reckless abandon and is headed for complete disaster?

Have fun!
