Paul Fisher drastically changes over his first few months in Tangerine County. In the novel, Tangerine, by Edward Bloor, the protagonist named Paul Fisher is intimidated by his older brother, Erik. Paul also feels like his family is “major leaguers spending some time in the minors”. At the end of the novel Paul isn’t the same person he was when he first moved to Tangerine County.
