Another choice was that Paul decided to show up at soccer practice Lake Windsor downs because of how great the team was and loved to play soccer. Paul's choice helped him make new friends and was put on the soccer team. Paul's confidence rose because of his actions.

    tangerine essay

    In the novel Tangerine by Edward Bloor, Paul made many choices, both good and bad, and most of the time Paul’s choices ended with negative results. For example during the awards ceremony for the Lake Windsor Downs high school football team, Tino and Victor beat up Erik (Erik is Paul’s older brother) and Arthur Bauer ( Erik’s best friend). Right when Arthur and Erik got beat up, the football team and the football coaches tried to catch Tino and Victor and when that happened Paul jumped on a coach to help them get away. When Paul attacked the coach he was later expelled from Tangerine Middle School. Also when Paul was hiding under the bleachers when Luis Cruz confronted Erik and Arthur, Paul decided not to speak up and stop the fight before it began and the fight caused an aneurism which ultimately killed Luis Cruz. After Luis Cruz died Paul felt guilty because he knew he could’ve prevented his death. Paul has also made good choices that had good results. A good choice Paul made was playing soccer for Tangerine Middle School. It affected Paul because he made many friends on the soccer team. Another good choice was standing up to his older brother Erik. All of Paul’s life he had been scared of his brother but as the novel progressed, Paul’s courage began to build. Near the end of the novel Paul realized Erik and Arthur were losers and that only their own choices would only affect them. Paul finally stood up to them and that made Erik and Arthur realize that Paul wasn’t scared.…

    The first group is Paul’s growing understanding of his friends. Paul’s first impression of Victor was a big and tough guy who hated Lake Windsor Middle’s soccer team. “You? You think you can play on my team? What do you think this is Lake Windsor Middle School? You think we gotta take every chump who shows up? You think ’cause your mommy buys you a jockstrap you’re automatically on my team?”(106) Victor doesn't see Paul to be good enough for Victor’s team because Paul was a Lake Windsor Middle School soccer player.

    Compare And Contrast Paul The Opposites Of Jewish-Marcionites

    Contrary to modern belief, early Christianity was not a unified religion. Christianity in the second century consisted of various groups of people having distinct Christian beliefs. The Jewish-Christian adoptionists for example rejected the divinity of Jesus, believing that Jesus was solely human whom God adopted to be His son. In great contrast, Marcionites embraced the divinity of Jesus but rejected his humanity. They also believed in two Gods—the wrathful God of the Jews and the loving and merciful God of Jesus. Both of these groups of Christians did not appeal to the same authorities to legitimize their views. While Jewish-Chrisitians considered Paul a heretic, Marcionites heralded him as the greatest of the apostles. Thus, Marcionites…

    Paul's Choices

    Saint Paul and His Illness

    Saint Paul is one of the most influential early Christian missionaries and leaders of the first generation of Christians. He was a Jew from the tribe of Benjamin and was born a Roman citizen, in Tarsus of Cilicia, with the Hebrew name Saul. Among the many other apostles and missionaries involved in the spread of the Christian faith, Paul is often considered to be one of the two most important people in the history of Christianity, and one of the greatest religious leaders of all time. In the New Testament, before becoming a follower of Christianity, Saul was engaged in a violent persecution of the newly-forming Church. He was confronted on the road to Damascus with a blinding vision of the risen Jesus. He continued to Damascus, and there regained his sight and was baptized c. AD 34 Paul 's conversion dramatically changed the course of his life. In obedience to his new Lord, he began at once to preach Jesus of Nazareth in the Jewish synagogues, and he became the object of Jewish persecution. He taught that Jesus is the long-awaited Jewish Messiah and the Son of God. When people heard of this seizure they were very scared about the seizures and where afraid that the disease would spread. There are many mesons of Saint Paul seizures in the bible and how it affected not only his life but the life of the others that he was preaching too. We see that his illness affected many but it improved his life by being able to hear God.…
