Symbolism The volunteer firefighter on page 15 says, "Muck fires don't go out. They're burning all the time.... Sometimes the rain'll damp them down, but they're still smoldering." What is Paul's muck fire that is always burning? What are the muck fires for Paul's parents, for Erik, for Antoine Thomas? At the end of the book, the wind has shifted and the odor and smoke from the muck fire is blowing away from Paul. Is that symbolic of what has happened in Paul's life? On page 244 as he digs in the ground behind his home on the day of Luis's funeral, Paul admits that he is finally seeing things that he has never seen before. What can he now see on page 244? What is the dirt of his life that was "burned, buried, plowed, coated and landscaped?"
It is a wonderful book. I have reread this book every summer for the past 11 years. It made a huge impact on me as a kid and recommend it to eveyone. Its also a fairly easy read for adults and enjoyable for older kids and teens.

The climax of the book "Tangerine" by Edward Bloor occurs when Paul Fisher confronts his parents and discovers the truth about his brother's actions on the day of the sinkhole incident. This confrontation leads to a resolution of the family's deep-seated issues and allows Paul to finally see the truth about his own identity and values.
It means Muck-Up in Latin
Muck up day refers to the last day of school before students have annual exams and it is a day students play pranks and practical jokes. Putting a for sale sign in front of the school is one idea for a muck up day prank. The idea is to have fun and not cause damage. Pranks include honey on locker handles and hiding all the gym towels.
In the book "Tangerine" by Edward Bloor, an example of hyperbole is when Paul describes the weather as "a wall of heat" that hits him in the face. This exaggeration helps to emphasize the intense heat and discomfort Paul is experiencing in the moment.
The theme of "Tangerine" by Edward Bloor revolves around the concepts of discrimination, family dynamics, environmental issues, and the power of perseverance. The novel explores how these themes impact the protagonist, Paul, as he navigates through challenges and struggles in his life.
You should muck out the stall once a day, and twice in the summer. You muck out twice in the summer because of all the parasites and insects that are attracted to manure. You might have to muck out even more, depending on your horse and where you live. : )
In my opinion, it depends on the students and how well they handle muck up day. There is certainly nothing wrong with graduating seniors having a day when they can have fun and pull some harmless pranks. The problem would enter the picture if the fun and harmless pranks became something more than that. In that case, muck up day would be banned from that year forward.
The book "Tangerine" is set in Lake Windsor Downs, a fictional town in Florida. The story takes place in the present day and revolves around the Fisher family and the various social and environmental issues affecting the community.
still at least once a day
