As a child Paul and Norman were very much the same, for they both seeked love from their father but, growing up Paul strayed from his fathers teaching. We see that in fly fishing; Paul leaves the four tempo technique, and creates a technique called shadow casting. Paul seeks attention, for example when he danced with the Native American girl all eyes were on them due to the provocative dancing or Native American. Paul loves being in the center of attention whenever; he came home he would often tell stories with both parents giving him full attention. Paul’s character was very boisterous and quick-tempered. Paul tended to start fights and cause a scene. Paul is not reserved, and he will quickly tell you how he feels. Paul is a very independent person, and he does not like to receive help; for example after the gambling scene Paul tries to dissuade Norman away from helping him. Paul is not one to follow other people’s example, but rather sets examples like fly fishing. Paul has an alcohol and gambling problem, and he knows, but he refuses help due to his pride. Paul was equally loved as a child, but he craved for attention as an adult because he did not know what to do with the love that was given to him. In the movie Paul started to really act out when Norman came home, and perhaps this was because he felt as if he was in Norman’s shadow. Norman was called the “professor” in the family because he went to college, but Paul never left Montana, and he could never achieve what Norman achieved perhaps that is why he acted so immaturely to receive
"Paul's Case," by Willa Cather, is a story that deals with a young boy who does not feel that he lives a life befitting of him. Upon a close reading, it is evident that "Paul's Case" is ruled by irony and symbolism, which are apparent in the story through the words of the narrator. The irony woven throughout the text builds up to an epiphonic moment, a main paradox in the story, which reveals to the reader Paul's true nature.
For example, during the meeting about Erik and Arthur's thievery, Joey called Paul to ask if Paul knew where Arthur was. Paul answered by saying, " He's right here." (Bloor 281) And invited Joey to tell the police Arthur's location. Paul has noticed that denying Erik and Arthur's behavior and letting it slide the two had just been able to hurt more and more families and individuals. By tipping the police, Paul is trying to break this loop and bring Erik and Arthur to justice. Paul hoped that by doing this he will end the circle of pain and suffering. Breaking this loop will also be a way to cleanse Paul of all guilt for not expecting the truth sooner, bringing him to a state of full of happiness and without guilt. After the police arrest, Arthur Paul is asked to write up a witness report. "I started with the basic facts, a paragraph or two, but I couldn't stop there."(Bloor 302) Paul has now had a taste of this happiness and enlightenment and wants to share this feeling with everyone. He wrote the whole truth no gaps no missing pieces that way the truth could be spread and in turn, so would happiness. Happiness cannot be achieved through denial and false realities. It can only be found through the
Paul Fisher rises through the problems he encounters, first starting off as a cowardly and timid boy to a brave and strong person. The book Tangerine reflects how the consequences of Erik Fisher, Paul’s brother, affect Paul after Erik injured his eyes, punched his friend, and ignored him. Erik and his friend, Arthur, make fun of Paul’s friend, Tino and the other children for being farm-labors through remarks such as, "Look at this. I think it's great that these farm-labor kids get to spend a day away from the fields. " (Bloor, Page 204).
...take away the freedom of thought. It will stay with us until the end of time. Viktor E. Frankl illustrated this in his essay “An Inner Freedom” from the book Man’s Search for Meaning.

In the short story “The Censors”, it says, “...thinking that something might happen to Mariana because of his letters. Of all people, Mariana, who must who must finally feel safe there where she always dreamed she’d live.” This evidence shows freedom because based on the quotes, it shows how the letters might harm an individual. This means that if someone sends a rebellious letter to the government, the person who receives or sends the letter will be executed if caught. Another evidence that was stated in the book is, “Juan knows there won’t be a problem with the letter’s contents, that it’s irreproachable,
