Hi
Mike Costello is a very tall boy maybe even looking very strong. He has brown hair and a little bother named Joey Costello.
Paul Fisher, Eric Fisher, Joey Costello, Mike Costello, Luis Cruz, etc.
Paul Fisher's best friend, and an important character later in Tangerine by: Edward Bloor.
Joey tells Paul that the kids on the Tangerine Middle School soccer team have a reputation for being unbeatable and having a lot of talent. They are known for being a dominant force in their division and have a strong winning tradition.
joey joins the soccer team
he hates it and wants to kill victor also loves the food there
Paul learns that Joey is prejudiced when he hears Joey making derogatory comments about Erik, a player on their soccer team, due to his Hispanic heritage. This incident makes Paul question Joey's character and realize that Joey's prejudice runs deeper than he had previously thought.
When Tino and his gang teased him, he got mad and "fell for the bait." Paul let Tino tease him, calling him names. Paul didn't mind, so he got accepted into their group. Joey started to act hostile and mad, so he didn't get in their group, causing him to act different, and think he is superior to everyone else. But the reason Paul didn't mind was he had an older brother, that was really bad to him. He was much worse than any other brothers. While Joey had a sweet older brother, and wasn't used to being taunted. Plus, he was really composed after Mike died (for his age anyway) and he had to find a way to vent somehow... so he took the taunting a little more to heart, because he was really sensitive.
He is resilient and strong. He is also hard working and loves his brother.
Masculine or strong man
ConflictPaul fears his brother's physical retaliations, is angry at his father's apparent favoritism toward his brother, and resents his mother's apparent inability to see Erik for what he really is. Erik, therefore, appears to be the root of Paul's problems. Is this true? Is Erik the main conflict that Paul faces? If Erik is what caused and continues to cause Paul's problems, what caused, and perhaps continues to cause, Erik's problems?
