               Erik’s and Paul’s relationship as brothers are very different from every day brothers. Although they are very different, they do have some similarities. While Paul is similar to Erik in that they really hate each other, both never have consequences for their actions, and both are sport stars, they are very different in that Erik gets more attention from their parents,  everyone believes in the Erik fisher football dream, and Paul is always expected to be the “good child”.

               These brothers have more similarities than you would think. One is that they dislike each other very much. An incident happened a long time ago that started this and even made Paul half blind! “A silver gray wall. I remember spray paint all other that wall. All I knew was that Erik and Castor had done it. Vincent Castor. But I never told anyone about it. I remember walking into the garage and hearing Erik’s voice, he said, “You’re going to pay for what you did.” And his whole life would now be different. Erik grabbed Paul and forced his eyes open. Castor came out of nowhere and started to spray, spray paint in my eyes.” Paul had to wear glasses after this. Next, they had never really had any consequences for what they did. For example, when Castor sprayed Paul’s eyes. Erik never got in trouble, his parents wanted to keep it a secret from Paul because they wanted them to not hate each other. Finally, they were both sport stars, Erik played football and Paul plays soccer. They are both extremely good.

                Now, Erik’s and Paul’s differences. Overall, Erik gets the most attention from their parents. They never have missed one of Erik’s football games. I don’t even think they have ever been to Paul’s soccer games. Even though Erik is older, they should get the same amount of attention. Another is that everyone seems supportive of the Erik Fisher Football Dream. Paul says,” the Erik Fisher Football Dream already seems to be materializing.” Last, Paul is usually always expected to be the “good child”. This is because as Paul is starting to realize more things, he’s starting to do more courageous things.  And mom and dad are starting to seem more surprised.
