     If I was going to make Tangerine into a movie, I would choose a sad background song. Almost like a the one from The Incredible Hulk, when he is walking down the street with one backpack strap over his shoulder. The reason I would choose a sad song is because, when Paul moves he is sort of sad. Also because he doesn’t want to move into a new house that he has never heard of, or has a muck fire that never ends.Then, after the sad part has ended I would make the music fast and joyful. That part would be when Paul and his mother are in the car and Paul askes about the Tangerines in Florida. This is why I would choose a sad song and a joyful one to take part in my book, Tangerine.
