In the novel Tangerine Joey costello fits the mythological archetype of the Shapeshifter in these three ways toward the paul(Hero). One way is that no one knows if he is an enemy or an ally. Also, Joey’s behavior changes a lot.For instance,one moment he will be your friend and then the next minute he will be your enemy. The last way that Joey is the way he is a Shapeshifter is that the reader never knows when Joey might betray the hero (Paul).
First, Joey is the Shapeshifter because no one knows if he is an enemy or an ally. For example, before Joey came to Tangerine high Paul told him to get a girl named Theresa as a guide person to show Joey around school,because Paul, Theresa,the rest of the soccer gang,and Joey have all of the same classes
