* Predviđanje: Throughout the novel, the orange trees are described as strong and healthy, producing abundant fruit. Paul, the main character, even dreams of a tree "bursting with fruit." This symbolizes the potential and hope that Paul and his family hold for the future.
* Događaj: However, the orange trees eventually succumb to a citrus greening disease , which destroys the fruit and weakens the trees. This devastating event mirrors the challenges and setbacks Paul and his family face, particularly the exposure of Paul's father's corruption and the subsequent fallout of the family's reputation.
Ova veza između stabala naranče i sudbine obitelji nagoviještena je od početka romana, stvarajući osjećaj slutnje i naglašavajući cikličku prirodu i prirode i ljudskih događaja.
Još jedan primjer:
* Predviđanje: Paul often describes his father as a "powerful " i "poštovani" lik, poput "divovskog hrasta" .
* Događaj: However, the image of the oak is later used to symbolize the corruption and hollowness koji leži ispod očeve fasade. The "giant oak" is revealed to be diseased and rotten at its core, reflecting his father's true nature.
Ovi primjeri ilustriraju kako upotreba predskazanja u "Tangerine" daje tragove o sudbini likova i dodaje dubinu temama obitelji, korupcije i posljedica skrivenih istina.
