The document summarizes key passages from the novel Tangerine by Edward Bloor. It first quotes a passage describing how ospreys swoop down and take koi fish from a pond without being noticed. It then quotes a passage depicting a newly frozen grove of trees that glows beautifully in the night. Finally, it states that all humans should strive to live in harmony with nature for joy and avoiding trouble from disharmony with nature.

2. “The ospreys I said. They all stared at
me blankly.' The ospreys, the bird of
prey, from those giant nests out on
route 89. They swoop down, snatch
up the koi, fly back to their roosts.
No one sees them no one thinks
about them; no one suspects them.”
(Bloor, 242)

3. “The new grove was glistening like
an angel on a Christmas tree, lit
from within by the light of the
diesel generator. Every tree
dripped frozen icicles from top to
down to the ground. And the
glow of all of them together was
more beautiful than anything I
had ever seen”(225-226)

4. All humans should strive to live in
harmony with nature and this harmony
will bring joy to all. Disharmony with
nature will give you loads of trouble
