Arthur Bauer Character Analysis

One decision that caused Paul to be less afraid of Erik is on pages 262-263. On these pages the author says, “He turned and threw the bat into the Land Cruiser. He got in, and Arthur got in, and they drove quickly away.” (Pg 262-263) This makes Paul less afraid of him because he was able to stand up to Erik and Arthur alone without getting hurt by either one of them. This also caused Paul not to be afraid of Erik because it proved to Paul that Erik wasn't so perfect and put together as he thought. Another reason why Paul is not afraid of Erik at the end of the book is on page 284. On page 284 the author states that, “I stood up straight and faced them all, like I had seen Luis do. “I saw- I heard Erik Fisher tell him to do it.”” (Pg. 284) This shows that Paul is less afraid of Erik because he was willing to expose Erik in front of everyone, and tell the complete truth without being afraid that Erik would hurt him in anyway. Erik Fisher causes Paul Fisher to be less afraid of him by losing control and not denying the truth about the bad things he had

Not only is Erik cruel, but he is also dishonorable. In Tangerine, Erik is a cruel and dishonorable person, brother, and friend. We found out that Erik is not a

For example, when Paul and his family talk amongst themselves after just moving in, Paul's father immediately brings up his plans for Erik's future and Paul thinks, "How long did it take for Dad to get to his favorite topic, the Erik Fisher Football Dream?" (Bloor 11) Paul's father's life revolves around Erik's success in football so much that it's always his topic of choice to talk about. He has created a trap in which Erik's only defining trait is his skills in football. Paul's father has also left Erik as nothing but a shell, forcing Erik to only one choice, to be good at football. In addition, when Paul's grandparents confront his parents on their decision to not get Erik help, they state, "We did tell you so. Erik did need help. He needed a doctor." (Bloor 287) Instead, they don’t try to work with him. They don't accept his nature, and they try to continuously make him something he's not,

Erik’s Choices In the Edward Bloor’s novel Tangerine, Erik’s choice to bully Paul throughout the the story makes Paul believe that Erik is just another kid in his horrible life. In the beginning of Paul’s life, Erik decides to spray paint Paul’s eyes so that he goes nearly blind: “I turned around and saw Vincent Castor. He was holding a can of spray paint […] and I remember Erik’s fingers holding my eyelids open while Vincent Castor sprayed white paint into them” (Bloor 263-264). That was Paul’s first horrible encounter with his brother Erik that will physically affect hurt him for the rest of Paul’s life.

There are tons of horrible people in this world. There are people that can easily blackmail, bomb, and kill innocent people for no reason except for making other people feel horrible. For example Osama Bin Laden was the leader of the terrorist organization al-Qaeda. al-Qaeda is best known for the horrible attacks of 9/11. I think some villains can easily can relate to how Erik Fisher is so disregarding of others, cruel, and murderous.

“Appearances Versus Reality in Tangerine” The novel Tangerine is a gripping exploration of friendship, fear, and overcoming immense obstacles, both physical and mental. In it, the protagonist Paul Fisher and his family move to Tangerine, Florida, where he must escape the shadow of his “football hero” older brother, named Erik. Paul Fisher is a legally blind soccer goalie, but he can see things that others do not, such as his older brother’s misdeeds behind the scenes.

Most importantly, Erik is a sociopath. On page 52, he says, “Did you see his hair? Did you see the side of his head? He got Mohawked, man!” Here, he mocks Mike after his death. His actions are extremely insensitive. His only redeeming quality is his football skills. Additionally, he taunts and torments his little brother on numerous occasions. It’s also implied that he and Arthur are responsible for the

Every human being needs someone to live, it is something that goes without saying it, but unfortunately in the world which we live, is not always met this requirement, because really how many people in our around are real ghosts who do not have anyone that tempts them a hand when they need help, or that listen to them when they need to talk about? Arriving at the conclusion that Erik is a marked character the repulsion of the man towards everything that is not absolute perfection all of his crimes are justified, according to my point of view. All the murders committed by does not commit him, but the ghost inside, carrying a ghost who hates the man who is unable to be moved by the most sublime things of life, as inner love, music, the true art outside interests economic, and etc. Why destroy anyone who stands in the race for what he believes is the most beautiful voice in the world. Really what it does with Christine does

Buffy and her gang were able to capture the hearts of fans all around the world because everyone could relate to them. They faced everyday problems like high school drama, studying for a final, and boyfriends. They also kept secrets from the people around them. They were not always honest with each other. The show is considered to be a metaphor for adolescence and young adulthood. Their high school is located in Sunnydale, California which is a "Hellmouth." This is a place full of evil and demonic energy which can be a good way to describe high school. Buffy and her gang fought demons all the time. These demons represent the obstacles in life that everyone faces everyday. In the episode "Hush" Buffy and her gang are able to communicate with

What if you lived in a shadow all your life and the only time your brother noticed you was when he wanted you to take the blame Or to make fun of you.Eric made many choices that affected Paul like spraying paint on his eyes making him partly blind or pinning a murder on him all these things affected Paul.

In The Phantom of the Opera, there is the sensitive but immature Raoul, the naive but compassionate Christine, and the mysterious Erik, whose backstory is hidden from the reader until the very end. Erik is indeed an intriguing character, as he changes the most throughout of the entirety of the novel. His beginnings happen before the timeline of the novel, when he was neglected by his parents and his peers made fun of him. He ended up feeling inferior to everyone around him, so he closed his heart off and lived in isolation. It is a little similar to how Frankenstein’s monster from Frankenstein was treated, because both he and Erik did not deserve to be treated that way. Erik grew up with an extremely unstable personality because no one wanted to be near him.

Personality: She tends to keep her cards close, as she finds trusting others to be quite the challenge. She tends to get lost in her thoughts and can come off as cold as a result. She can seem very warm and friendly when she's trying to scam someone, though that is usually her trying to get her target to lower their guard. She loves the rush of combat, but has a heavy distaste for killing other people. As such, combat is usually her last resort if she cannot scam her way out of a situation. She is quick to lend a helping hand to others for a price, but has a soft spot for children that are seeking food.

Tobias Wolff is a figure meaningful of an age when the journal has to a great extent supplanted the novel as a wellspring of riveting account and good reverberation.

Lyle Delaney is the only child of Girlie and Lucky Joe. He is also the only biological grandson of Norm Myrtle who's a farmer though he doesn't have a land. In the entire play, you can see that Lyle is experiencing difficulty in his life. Especially the land that he worked on his whole life will never be his own; "Our farm, Bri. But their land."(Lyle, pg 31) His depression was worsened was worsened when he found out that the Hamiltons are planning to sell the farm he love. On the other hand, Lyle was introduced in the play as a coon hater, racist and a bigot. Since he possess these characteristic, it is not far for him to makes someone suffer because of prejudice. In spite of this, he is also one of the characters who suffer because of this.

The factors that determine Erik’s behaviour can be described from two different theories. The first theory is Erikson’s psychosocial theory that emphasizes social aspects on the development of an individual’s personality. I chose this because of the first question that comes in my mind as soon as I read about Erik is - do social norms and rules have
