Imagine waking up every morning smelling smoke from a muck fire that will never go away. In the book, Tangerine by Edward Bloor, the main character, Paul Fisher, faces many choices that affect him in positive and negative ways. Paul is a young boy that has the struggle of moving from Houston, Texas to Tangerine, Florida. This can be a hard change for anybody. Paul makes many decisions that affect himself. First, he tells the police on Erik for being involved with the death of Luis Cruz, two he choses to go to Tangerine Middle school because he did not need an iep anymore so he had the opportunity to play soccer, and finally he decides to jump on coach Warner’s back . The choices Paul makes, and the consequences of those choices, affect the development of his character.

The choices that Erik made throughout his life never came without consequences, many of his choices, whether they were choices directed to him or not, affected Paul. Paul illustrates this idea by saying, “When we moved to Houston, when Erik was eleven, he realized that football was the star attraction,”(Bloor 29) This is talking about the “birth” of the “Erik Fisher Football Dream”; Erik use to play soccer and was successful at it, but he realized that football was the place to be if he wanted attention. Paul could’ve started playing soccer at that time as well and Erik didn’t want to risk being outshined by his younger brother. Another way Erik affected Paul, in a more indirect way, was when Arthur becomes Erik’s crony, “What will Arthur do

In the end paul remembers that erik put paint on paul's eyes that why paul is blind.Paul went to new middle school st anthony. Luis Cruz died because arthur killer luis. Mr.fisher take him to his new school.

Fisher paid attention to Erik, even though he had done such a terrible thing to Paul. Overall, Paul’s parents have been telling him a lie his whole life and this made him hate himself. The lie was that he is legally blind because he stared at a Solar Eclipse, but the reason he is legally blind is because Erik and Vincent 's spray painted his eyes. This is emotional for Paul because his whole life he has been led to believe otherwise, but now he hates how his mom, stood up for Erik.

A choice made by Erik Fisher affected Paul by Making him blind. “...I remembered Erik’s fingers prying my eyelids open while Vincent Castor sprayed white paint into them’’, Page 264 . Erik chose to do this because he thought that Paul snitched on Vincent and Erik, so they gave him “payback”. Paul was told that he looked at a solar eclipse which made him blind but was later revealed to him that it was Erik and his Goon’s Fault, which enraged him.

One way that Erik Fisher has affected Paul is that he is the cause of Paul’s blindness. To begin with, Edward Bloor writes from the view of Paul “And I remembered Erik’s fingers prying my eyelids open while Vincent Castor sprayed white paint into them.” This is evidence that Erik Fisher had a big role in damaging Paul’s eyes, because he was the one that opened Paul’s eyes for the white spray paint which blinded him. Also Bloor writes about how Dad tells Paul that “The doctors told us that you might never remember. And we figured that was the best way to handle the situation.” This explains that Erik was, for sure, the cause of Paul’s blindness. It also mentions why Paul didn’t remember being blinded by Erik, for a while, and why his parents never told him of this incident. Because of Erik, Paul has to live with

But when Paul is forced to leave Lake Windsor Middle School and go to Tangerine Middle School, he encounters a whole new way of life. The kids aren't as wealthy as the Lake Windsor kids, but Paul ends up fitting in better there than he did in his first school.

Many characters made careless choices in the book that affected Paul but Eric made the most. In the book Tangerine, Eric’s choices and the consequences of his choices affected the development of Paul in three ways. When Eric hit Tino and when Paul figured out that Eric was the reason he was blind. Paul is a boy who just moved from Texas to Florida. He moves to a place called Lake Windsor Downs. He goes to school at Lake Windsor Downs Middle School, but there was a tragedy at that school so he moved to Tangerine Middle School. He goes out for the Tangerine soccer team and makes it. Then horrible things start happening.

“So there I sat, Erik Fisher's younger brother, Eclipse Boy, visually impaired and totally incapable of following in his brother's footsteps.” Paul began as a boy who was unconfident, and always hidden by his brother shadow, but in the end became brave hero who saved classmates from a sinkhole and built up the courage to stand up to his horribly cruel brother. Paul Fisher changed into what seems like a completely different character, one transformed by incredible experiences and hardships. To conclude, in the novel Tangerine, by Edward Bloor, Paul moves to Florida a shy momma’s boy, but as he gains confidence, he learns to make his own choices and follow his gut.

First, one choice Erik made was to call Paul, ‘eclipse boy’. Many bullied Paul and saw him as a weak individual. Paul thought of himself to be a freak show on display. On page 35 of Tangerine, Paul stated, “So there I sat on that yellow bus - Erik Fisher’s younger brother, Eclipse boy, visually impaired and totally incapable of following in his brother’s footsteps.” The quote shows that Paul considers himself to be incapable of being normal. Erik’s choice had cause Paul to think that he has no chance of being popular and loved. If Erik hadn’t made fun of Paul, perhaps this chain of events wouldn’t have occurred.
