A motif is a recurring element, image, or idea that has symbolic significance in a work of literature. A novel with the title Tangerine might make use of tangerine-related imagery many
times and in different ways.

4. Group Discussion: Which aspect of the book cover helped you make predictions and inferences — the images or the text? Which generated more questions and comments? Which is more important in terms of marketing or selling the book to an audience? Based on the imagery of the cover, predict what some of the motifs of the novel might be.
