Choices and the Impact on Paul

Edward Bloor's novel "Tangerine" conveys the choices made by many characters throughout the plot. Choosing helps Paul grow as a dynamic character. Students know that dynamic characters are characters that change in the whole novel.

In order to record the choices in the novel, I handed the "dynamic character" chart to the students. After reading each "part", they recorded important selections including text evidence, the role of the selection, and the impact it gave Paul. In the last column, they also recorded the personality traits indicated by Paul and supported literary evidence including pages. Some students choose to organize their thoughts using a circular map.

After completing Part 1, we completed the entire chart together. Some of the options that influenced Paul included Paul's mother talking to the school about Paul's IEP, Coachwolski told Paul that he could not be a member of the football team .

Through class discussion, we also personally understand how we respond to incidents

After students finish reading part 2, students need to complete part 2 of the dynamic role chart. At this stage, students will accomplish tasks in small groups.

I recall that just because Paul acted in some way he did not change this personality. These changes need to show that his personality is growing

Paul 's parents allowed Paul to attend Tangerine High School without IEP; accept Paul' s new friends inside and outside Paul 's school; Paul joined the nursery

Paul decided to deal with citrus crops during Thanksgiving, not Paul and his father attended the football season and Teresa asked Paul not to attend Rui's funeral

I think that the choice of Paul does not explain it as a whole novel but I think that it is possible to objectively group letters of that type.

Paul's Suicide - Paul chose to end his life in a train crash accident is thought to represent the impact of Paul's commercialization and industrialization on Paul who likes to get absorbed in drama and music . Paul chose to be hit by a train, as his way of suicide also reflected his relationship with his father. Paul had the opportunity to kill his life with a gun. But this gun belongs to his father. Paul was always afraid of his father. His choice not to use a gun indicates that Paul does not want his father to have more power in his life.

Selections and results are inevitable ... Whenever you have a choice anytime anywhere, the choice of location will bring you good or bad results. Paul did a few bad choices, and the result followed by the choice he did. Paul did not make friends with Joey, so Paul ceased talking to him, telling Tino and Paul are no longer friends. All these choices have a negative effect. Edward Bloor's Orange is an excellent expression of choices and results not only in stories but also in real life.

In Edward Bloor 's novel "Tangerine", Paul made many choices regardless of good and evil, but Paul' s choice ended in a negative outcome in most cases. For example, at the award ceremony of the high school soccer team at Lake Windsor Downs, Tino and Victor beat Erik (Erik is Paul's brother) and Arthur Bauer (Erik's best friend). Like Arthur and Eric lost, the football team and the football coach tried to catch Tino and Victor, but Paul helped to escape by jumping onto the coach.
