4. Of the additional conflicts or subplots in this novel, which of them most directly affects Paul’s conflict with himself?
my Notes
WrITING to SOUrCES Expository Writing Prompt: Choose one of the subplots in Tangerine in which the conflict has not been resolved. Write a literary analysis
paragraph describing the conflict of the subplot and explaining how it relates to or reflects the main conflict. Be sure to:
• Use a topic sentence that identifies a conflict and subplot and how it relates to the main conflict.
• Provide supporting details, textual evidence, and commentary.
• Use active voice and a variety of sentence structures.
Check Your Understanding
Scan Part 3 of Tangerine and note the length of the entries for this time period. Why do you think Paul wrote this much at this time? Read the first sentence for “Monday, November 20.” Predict what will happen when the science-project group comes to Paul’s house.
Independent Practice: As you read Part 3, continue to identify the conflicts and subplots in your double-entry journal. Also, make predictions about how the conflicts might be resolved. After reading, reflect on the accuracy of your predictions.
