...Mandarins: What uses has this fruit? Mandarins are a real convenience food, great for school lunches, snacks and picnics. They are easier to peel than oranges and their segments separate easily.

The names Mandarin and Tangerine are both commonly used to describe the same essential oil; Mandarin is the common name used in Europe whereas Tangerine is the name used in America. However, although the same species with the same botanical name, botanically the actual fruit of the tree has very subtle differences in color, shape and size. Tangerines are generally cultivated in the U.S. whereas Mandarins are generally cultivated elsewhere. Mandarin has been used in ancient China for centuries; the Chinese believed that Mandarin strengthened both the digestive and liver functions. In France, Mandarin is used as a safe remedy for children in indigestion, hiccups and for problems of the elderly, such as digestive problems; Mandarin is considered to be a very gentle and safe essential oil, when used correctly.

...The calamansi (citrus madurencis) is considered as one of the major fruit crops in the Philippines, which is indigenous and widely cultivated in the country. In Tagalog, it is called kalamunding, calamansi or kalamansi and in Visayan, limonsito or simuyaw. The plant grows well in cool and elevated areas and in sandy soils rich in organic matter. Waterlogged areas are not suitable for cultivation because calamansi plants cannot tolerate too much moisture. It can be propagated by seeds using its vegetative parts. It is available year-round and is usually seen in its unripen green state. When left to ripen, it turns a tangerine orange.

...I think the symbolism in the last entry. Entry date Wednesday, December 6 of Tangerine by Edward Bloor. The symbolism is the part where paul thinks in his head “Mike Costello has his tree, and that's good. But Luis has his tree, too, and he will have many, many more.” This part symbolizes that all those trees Luis Cruise had in his grove are his because every time someone looks over there they will remember Luis Cruise. Another part of the last chapter that is pretty symbolic the part when dad says “ do you see that? That is MIke Castello’s tree.” To me this symbolises that dad is still very upset that Paul jumped on the teaches back during Mike Costello’s tree ceremony. Also that Paul did this as a sign of disrespect for Mike Costello....

...Some individuals read books and do not see the true meaning behind them. Read to find out how the author gives readers a better understanding of this exactly. The young adult fiction Tangerine, written by Edward Bloor, takes place in a mystical county in Tangerine, Florida. Some symbols shown in the novel are glasses, termites, and new clothing. Astonishingly, the author effectively uses symbolism to show the true meanings of objects. Giving the reader a better understanding of symbolism in Tangerine, the author describes how actions can be easily symbolized as something or someone else. In this world today, many see the outcasts as the most observant yet brilliant people. Seeing the full truth behind this claim “Paul can see the [nuances of his life] mom and dad [cannot] or [will not]” see because Erik is all they care for (4). Earlier in the novel, Erik tells Paul he is legally blind from a solar eclipse. Paul personally knows he is not blind from a Erik amusing lie; he is able to see the truth of what others fail to see. Many would go looking for truth, but he knows none will come his way. As readers know, Paul, the protagonist, is considered the outcast of the family, but truly he is extraordinary at seeing lies, truth, and honesty through his glasses. Lies and secrets are represented differently throughout. While seeing the full truth behind these signs, the termites eat away at the house and “[nobody can] stop [them...people] can put up a barrier around their...

...In Tangerine, there are multiple different types of conflict in the passage and I will be identifying three different types of conflict in the passage such as man vs man vs nature and man vs self. One conflict seen in the novel thus far is man vs nature or the sinkhole at Paul’s school and how it affected him. Two options or solutions came out of this. One being Paul could move to Tangerine Middle school or “All the eighth graders would have to squeeze into the high school and all the seventh graders would have to squeeze into the middle school. Another conflict is The Eric Fisher Football Dream because his dad never really pays attention to him or what’s going on with his life.He's also is oblivious to what Eric is actually doing....
