Gambit
     As I sat down in front of my computer to begin writing this essay, the phone rang.  It was my friend Chris, asking me if I wanted to go jet skiing with his family.  I noticed that it was a beautiful day as I looked through the kitchen window.  I pressed the phone tight against my ear as I contemplated weather a stress free day, an escape from the tedious Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, was worth 400 points. I thought to myself, "Not doing a 400 point assignment means an F for the semester, which means hopes for good college opportunities are gone, and of course a good college leads to success.  I want to be successful."  With my mind made in a fraction of a second, I tell Chris that I can't go due to my essay.  I just sacrificed my day of leisure and enjoyment for success.

Paul is not a crook, but the pressures of leaving home, to find his own success causes him to set his morals aside.  The family Paul left behind are not those who live on Cordelia Street, but those who work at Carnegie Hall and at the theater.  That is where Paul considered his home.  The music which emerged from there is what fueled Paul.  When he learns that his father is looking for him in New York, and his supply of money is running low after living a few days of glamour and success, Paul realizes that it is all about to end.
