During he was back to his home town, he was not happy. He realized that no one understands about the real war.
His father is proud of him, because he is fighting in the army. And he took Paul to a dinner with his friends, and talked about him proudly. He was said that the army should go to Paris and beat them. But Paul thinks that the war should end as soon as they can. If they keep fighting, more and more people die and never come back.
His old school teacher who kind of made Paul and his classmates to join the war was still telling his students that going to the war is a credit. When the teacher saw Paul, he asked Paul to tell students how awesome to be in the army, but Paul never think being in the army is good. So he said to not go to the war. Then students started to call him a loser.
I understand his feeling a little. My situation is not as serious as his, but I still feel uncomfortable like him, sometimes. When I go back to Japan for a break, everyone says, "I want to come to America to study! I know it's awesome. I can make American friends and go somewhere that is not Japan!" Even my mother tells me something like this. But my life here is not as good as they think.
I like NBPS better than my old school in Japan. I like the system of studying in America that we can choose our classes. But beside it, I do not think that is good to stay here. I know that it is good to study English, but for me, it is hard to make friends beside Asian. So I always stay with the same people, and it's kind of boring.
Anyway, when I see my friends in Japan, they do not know what is my like like. And they tell me that I am having the better life than them. That annoys me a little.
I have one more problem to being away from home for a long time. I feel that my friends changes, and they are not they are that I know. It a bit scary, and I feel lonely.
