  9. The sound of an approaching train woke him, and he started to his feet, remembering only his resolution, and afraid lest he should be too late. He stood watching the approaching locomotive, his teeth chattering, his lips drawn away from them in a frightened smile; once or twice he glanced nervously sidewise, as though he were being watched. When the right moment came, he jumped. As he fell, the folly of his haste occurred to him with merciless clearness, the vastness of what he had left undone. There flashed through his brain, clearer than ever before, the blue of Adriatic water, the yellow of Algerian sands. He felt something strike his chest,--his body was being thrown swiftly through the air, on and on, immeasurably far and fast, while his limbs gently relaxed. Then, because the picture making mechanism was crushed, the disturbing visions flashed into black, and Paul dropped back into the immense design of things.

  10. Paul’s Case composition topic: And after all, our surroundings influence our lives and characters as much as fate, destiny, or any supernatural agency. Using Paul’s Case, a story in which physical, geographical and/or environmental surroundings shape psychological traits of a character, write a well-organized essay in which you analyse how surroundings affect this character and illuminate the over-all meaning of the work as a whole. Avoid plot summary.
