Setting
Tangerine takes place in Tangerine, FL during
present times. During the beginning, some took
place in Houston, TX.

Problem
There are multiple problems in Tangerine. The
main one is that Paul plays soccer very well.
However, he is kicked off of his schools
soccer team because of his IEP for being legally
blind. The second problem is that Paul knows
Erik is a bad person. But, no one will believe
him.

Solution
The solution to the first problem was that Paul
transferred to Tangerine Middle School without
an IEP. There he played backup. The solution
to the second problem was that Mom found items
Erik and his friend, Arthur, stole. Paul then
ratted Erik out to the police about a murder
Erik and Arthur committed.

Theme-Pauls Vision
Paul is legally blind, so, naturally he cant
visually see as well as a normal human
being. But, he can see (meaning understand)
things better than his parents.
