Theme For Tangerine

313 Words2 Pages

The theme that I choice for Tangerine is “Sometimes good change can come from bad situations.” An example of the theme is when the Lake Windsor school gets swallowed up by a sinkhole. Although it ruined art of the school and many students were hurt, Paul had a chance to change his life. The sinkhole helped him get into another school without an IEP and without an IEP, Paul can play soccer. Another example is when Paul made a mistake when playing the soccer championship. Paul knew where Gino kicks the ball for the penalty shot. Gino kicks to the left but right when Gino kicked the ball and Paul went flying to that direction, Gino kicked the ball to the right instead of the left. Paul didn’t want to see what happened but all he could hear
