Examples Of Luis Cruse In Tangerine

In Edward Bloor’s novel Tangerine, how did one character’s choice and the consequences of these choices affect the development of the main character. There was one character named Luis, who deeply affected Paul, the main character. Luis affected Paul by teaching Paul to stick up for himself, to stay with a passion, and to help all around yourself. In the book, Luis had always been a loving person, but then had many ways of getting the message to Paul. In the grooves, played a huge part because that is where Luis and Paul were connected. Luis and Paul also had a bond through being disabled on the Tangerine Soccer Team. Once Paul had finally found the connection with a person, Paul knew it would be a growing friendship and a great learning experience.

It can take one person to change the way you think about the way you think about yourself. The novel Tangerine by Edward Bloor, is about a boy by the name of Paul Fisher. Paul cannot really stand up for himself, and is a bit reserved. All of the other characters in Tangerine, make choices that contribute to the growth of Paul as a character, whether being positive or negative. These choices made by Luis Cruz, Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, and Erik Fisher, all made Paul braver/stronger, and more able to speak his own mind.

One major conflict I have read the novel “Tangerine,” is when Mike got struck by lightning and killed instantly, as said from the book, this is an example of man vs nature. The piece of evidence that supports that it was man vs nature is, “ He was dead before he hit the ground.” This will affect the plot of the story because at the time Mike was the main character and Joey will always feel sad.The second conflict is when Lake Windsor Middle School had a sinkhole, this is an example of man vs nature because there was a sinkhole which is an example of a natural disaster. The piece of evidence to support this is, “ An earthquake, No! Sinkhole.” This piece of evidence affects the plot because Paul has a decision to go to Tangerine Middle or stay

Everyone has had someone block them from gaining success. The person writing this has, and so have the readers. But, everyone has had a mentor, or a role model, once in their life. A mentor, in literature, is a mythological archetype. In Edward Bloor’s novel, Tangerine, Antoine Thomas and Luis Cruz fit as the mythological archetype of the mentor.

In the beginning of Tangerine, Mr. Fisher seems to be overlooking a lot of issues in Lake Windsor Downs. Some examples of things overlooked: the muck fire (previously mentioned), his boss, the weather, neighbors not following conduct, and so forth. All of these things that Mr. Fisher is overlooking are making Ms. Fisher annoyed. This makes the reader feel like she will be pushed past her limit.

Not only does Luis Cruz’s choices substantially affect Paul’s development in Tangerine, but he impacts Paul’s personality and choices too. To explain, one of the countless choices Luis chooses is to talk to Erik about punching his younger brother: “Erik and his group had gathered up their gear and were preparing to leave. Luis stood in their path, like the brave sheriff of a town full of cowards” (Bloor 211). When Luis decides to stand up to Erik, Paul is influenced to be undaunted by his elder brother. Continuing, Luis also improves Paul’s life by showing him his family’s tangerine nursery: “He said, ‘Look around you. This is a nursery’” (Bloor 164). As Paul journeys through the nursery, he becomes passionate about the trees and loves the

In the novel tangerine, the motif is used both literally and figuratively in several characters. For instance, Mom sees that Paul has horrible eyesight and thinks she is helping Paul by assigning him and IEP, but she doesn't see that it is affecting his social life in a negative way. Dad sees Eric as a huge football hero, but he doesn’t see that Eric has an awful, secret personality. This affects him and his relationship with his parents and brother in an extremely non-positive way. Also this affects his views and opinions on social life, friends, and school. The Fisher parents doesn't see the important things according to Paul.

Mentors are people who provide support, strength, and inspiration. Many people have a mentor in their life that they aspire to be like, and seek out for guidance. Mentors play a big role in many lives, including Junior's from The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. Some of the biggest mentors for Junior are his parents, his Wellpinit teacher Mr. P and his Rearden basketball coach. If it weren't for these mentors inspiration and support, Junior wouldn't have taken some of the risks he does.

Mentors should reflect confidence, hope, optimism, and resiliency as well as the ability to promote others and their strengths. This sounds uncannily like the descriptions of an authentic leader that we have been reading about in our literature.

In the novel Tangerine Luis Cruz fits the mythological archetype mentor because he is very kind/nice to paul.Luis is also the mentor to paul because he inspires paul to be the best he can be.

One mentor is Luis Cruz because when Paul went to Luis’ grooves “Luis saw Paul’s interest”. So Luis can see people's interests. Luiz wants to help people get into the hobby. He wants Paul to join him. This reveals how one person’s influence can make a huge difference. Also when Tino gets hurt, Luis “stood there like sherriff”. He stood up to Arthur. This clearly means that family matters. Also that he doesn't want people getting bullied.

Tangerine is a fascinating novel that includes mystery, loyalty, and friendship. The main character, Paul Fisher, and his family decided to move to a new house in Tangerine, Florida for the “Erik Fisher Football Dream”. In his parent’s eyes, especially his father, Erik is the “Golden Child.” Ever since they decided to move to Tangerine, Paul keeps having flashbacks of things that would confuse him. When Paul joins a soccer team at Tangerine Middle School, his teammates help him discover some things that have been happening in his town.

Have you ever have been or been called a Mentor, a Mentor can be many different people, such as your parents or friends. In the novel “Tangerine” there is a Mentor, “Luis Cruz”, Luis Cruz plays a big part in Paul Fisher’s life. In the novel “Tangerine”, Luis Cruz fits the mythological archetype of the mentor by being positive, aids by giving advice, and sometimes acts as the hero’s conscience.

We often meet wise people who we trust to guide us. Some consider these individuals to be mentors because they support or influence us in a special way. A mentor can be anyone, such as a someone who guides you through a tough job, or even your mom and dad! What makes all these people similar is that they all have likeable qualities. The qualities that I think make a good mentor are patience, determination, and a good-listener.

An example of this is evident is The Odyssey, when Athena, one of Odysseus’s strongest supporters among the court of gods, takes it upon herself to guide Telemachus, Odysseus’s son, to sail and look for his father. Here, Athena literally introduces herself to Telemachus as ‘Mentor,’ and it is believed that this is where the term came from. She guided and convinced Telemachus to take a
