Erik Fisher's football dream faced challenges when he sustained a significant injury that impacted his performance and opportunities in the sport. Despite his talent and hard work, these setbacks ultimately led to his decision to step away from pursuing a professional career in football. He redirected his focus toward other interests, emphasizing resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity.
Probably because Paul dislikes Erik, and he knows Erik doesn't deserve something like that dream.
The dream that both Erik and Dad share for Erik to become a star football player and maybe even receive a scholarship for football in college. Paul does not like it because Dad is always focusing on the Erik Fisher Football Dream (EFFD, let's call it.) and not on Paul and soccer, and does not realize what is going on with Erik and Paul.
The Erik Fisher Football Dream.
In the book "Tangerine" by Edward Bloor, the phrase "this is the house built on the Erik Fisher football dream" refers to the idea that the Fisher family's success and reputation are built upon Erik's football achievements. The family's house, wealth, and social standing are all tied to Erik's success as a star football player. This phrase symbolizes the pressure Erik feels to excel in football in order to maintain his family's status and lifestyle.
Paul Fisher doesn't really like football because his brother, Erik, plays it. Erik is rude and cruel to Paul and his friends, and Paul does not look up to him at all. The "Erik Fisher Football Dream," as stated in the book, makes up most of Erik's and Erik's parents' lives. Paul doesn't want anything to do with it.
To Play the football
Idk i read the book but didnt catch very much input from the grandparents' opinions
They pay less attention to Paul and he is overshadowed by his big brothers accomplishments.
They moved to Florida due to Erik's successful football career and to be closer to Lake Windsor Downs, the prestigious school where Erik would be playing football. Paul's parents hoped the move would provide a fresh start for their family.
He wanted to be the best player in football and attend a good college so he could play professional football. I think that it was to be a star athlete and be the center of attention. After all, the book did state that he used to play soccer, but when he found that football was the star attraction, he switched to that.
