Is Paul a hero in Tangerine by Edward Bloor?

No, Paul Fisher is not a hero in the novel Tangerine. He is the antagonist of the story, and is portrayed as a bully who picks on other children, particularly those who are different from him. He is cruel, manipulative, and often uses violence to get what he wants. He is also homophobic and makes fun of Erik for being gay. Paul's actions throughout the novel are not heroic in any way, and he does not show any signs of remorse for his behavior.
