Examples Of Foreshadowing In Tangerine

Tom Brady once said, “Too often in life, something happens and we blame other people for us not being happy or satisfied or fulfilled. So the point is, we all have choices, and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to not accept people or situations.” In the book, Tangerine, by Edward Bloor, Paul Fisher discovers his true potential when he and his family move to Florida. Additionally, Erik Fisher’s (Paul’s brother) choices and consequences greatly affect Paul’s development as a valuable person.

Friendship is one of the most meaningful treasures in the world. The book I chose to read was "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck.

Why do people take lives of others? Of Mice and Men is a short novel that tells a powerful story. It is a tale of two unlikely friends -- small, intelligent George and enormous but childlike Lennie -- traveling through California during the 1930’s. George and Lennie are migrant workers. They take temporary jobs at different ranches in the effort to make enough money to buy their own farm. At their new jobs, they meet a new co-worker named Candy who wants to be a part of their farm. George and Lennie also meet the ranch owner's son Curley who is very mean to Lennie and end up hurting him. Also lastly there is Curley’s wife who is very lonely but Lennie ends up killing her.

But I can’t say why. I can’t remember why.” This foreshadow means that therefore, Bloor is indicating something will happen, and he will remember something he won’t forget. Paul can’t remember anything, which is a sign that he feels weird about something. Another use of foreshadowing is moreover in the novel on page 251 when Paul thinks, “I just knew I had to do something.” These two quotes mean that it specifies Paul will do something in the future about these conflicts. Foreshadowing enhances the story because it gives an effect to the story.

Another piece of evidence is found in page 74. “They have gangs in Tangerine Middle School. They have kids with guns man. Real gangstas.” Tangerine Middle is seen as a gang- and violence-filled school, but Paul in the end finds nice and caring friends there that have his back.

It conveys the theme by slowly showing the truth. By slowly revealing the truth, the reader will notice how prominent the theme of false vs. reality is in
