Erik Fisher Character Sketch
The point of the Geometric Character Analysis is to break down the characters into simple shapes, showing their personalities on the outside and making them far easier to understand. It also helps to make connections. It’ll show the links that attach two characters to one another, or the chains that drag them down. Joey and Erik don’t know each other personally, but Erik is slowly pulling Joey down under, and soon, they will both be fully submerged in the sea of dreams (The Erik Fisher Football Dream). Erik is the main antagonist, constantly threatening Paul, but keeping up an image of glory and fame. Joey used to be Paul’s best friend, but in Part Two, he left him and decided to think about playing football. Erik Fisher is pulling Joey Castello down, and there’s nothing Paul can do about it but bring his brother back to life. Joey Castello used to be Paul Fisher’s best friend, but when Paul transferred to Tangerine Middle after the sinkhole event, Joey decided to quit soccer and started to think about football instead. What I feel symbolizes his personality the best is a small, bright red square. A …show more content…
However, whether he and Joey know it or not, a tiny, thin chain links them together, and when Erik laughed at Mike’s death, Joey just kind of lost it. He quit soccer, transferred to and from Tangerine Middle, and eventually became friends with Paul again. Erik had done many bad things, making his brother nearly go blind, indirectly causing the murder of Luis Cruz, and stealing from people’s houses. He is a large, black pow with just a tint of red. He is easily the largest shape on the paper, towering over everyone else, and causing mass destruction in a massive boom! He is the main antagonist, and his mirth at Joey’s brother’s death, “‘Hey check it out. It’s Mohawk Man’s brother.’” pg. 133, caused a tiny link to form and drag Joey

    Erik Fisher previously slapped Tino Cruz, Luis’ younger brother, across the face. Luis Cruz purposefully enraged Erik for revenge for Tino by taunting, “You would smack a little kid in the face, right? Why don’t you come over here and try to smack me” (211)? Luis’ provocation caused Erik to order Arthur to whack a blackjack across Luis’ head. This caused the aneurysm (weakness in a blood vessel) in Luis’ head to further weaken and burst, causing a massive stroke, ultimately leading to Luis’ death. Once Luis died, Paul pondered, “The truth about Luis is obvious to all of the people around him… They know what really happened… Why would that seem so mysterious to me” (249)? While reflecting, Paul came across his reality. He was living in “bits and pieces of the truth” (249), while everyone else “know what really happened” (249). Paul’s reflection indicates that he has realized the truth, that he was living in lies while others were not. Luis’ decision to provoke Erik caused Paul to reflect and uncover the truth of his…

    So, for the first character that we are introduced to, Jack, the radio talk show host. I did find some symptoms but, not a whole lot. I first notice that he definitely likes to hear himself talk. He cuts people off that call into the radio station and he’s pretty rude to them. He has big pictures up of himself around his house. He is very full of himself, very self absorbed. He calls other people scum and just thinks that he’s better than them. When he begins helping Perry, it’s not exactly for Perry. He just feels guilty and he thinks that helping him will somehow turn his luck around. He only really thinks of himself. These symptoms make me think that he has Narcissistic personality disorder. The DSM says they have a lot…

    During new student orientation week, we had Dave Ward talk about two interesting illustrations that were very eye-opening as a new student. The first illustration that he talked about was ping-pong balls. He took the concept of them and talked about full truths, half-truths, and lies. He then used an example of hula-hoops as ways to encircle specific thoughts and how we have to decide what was right from wrong. The hula-hoops also signified a blockage of seeing the big picture. The second illustration was a stained glass analogy. This analogy was where each of our individual majors represented a different color in a stained glass cross. In other words, all of us together combine to make a beautiful masterpiece.…

    Secondly, characterization supports the theme by showing us how each character acts towards each other. For example, Doodle had a very nice and outgoing personality. He didn’t let his disorder get the best of him. Although he did come across some hard times, such as learning how to walk, Doodle stayed strong for himself and for his family. But brother on the other hand, has a very cruel personality in the beginning of the story. He treated his brother Doodle so rough that even doodle cried. Later on in the story, Brother starts to accept his brother for having a disorder. The characterization supports the theme because without it, we would not know how brother and doodle acted. Which would eliminate the purpose of the theme. So therefore, if brother and doodle did not show any emotion or any act,…

    She is portrayed as an old lady who has too much pride and wants to be in the know of every tiny piece of gossip in town. In the beginning of the story, it gives the readers the impression that she was a sweet old lady who takes much pride in her rose bush and enjoys the town gossip too much. Ms. Strangeworth comes off as prideful, intrusive and blunt. Ms. Strangeworth was portrayed as prideful throughout the story when she took so much pride in her rose bush which had been passed down to her by her family. She explained to everyone, including tourists who just pass through the town about how she inherited this magnificent rose bush and the first house ever built on Pleasant Street by her grandfather. She believed that she deserved much appreciation, honor and gratitude from the people of the small town because of her grandfather. Her when the town decided to put up a statue of Ethan Allen instead of her grandfather, she was disappointed and muttered “ but it should have been a statue of my grandfather. There wouldn’t be a town here at all if it hadn’t been for my grandfather and the lumber mill.” This shows the readers that she believed that the town was her’s and no one else’s. In the text, it claims that Ms. Strangeworth would not give out or share her flowers with anyone else because she believed that the roses belonged within her household. “.. it bothered Ms. Strangeworth to think of people wanting to carry them away, to take them into strange towns, and down strange streets.” Even when people requested for her beautiful roses for the town’s church, she would refuse. “When the new minister came, and the ladies were gathering flowers to decorate the church, Miss Strangeworth sent over a great basket of gladioli.” This tells us that she is very protective of her roses and would not even spare a…
