Throughout this section, Paul works very hard to be part of Tangerine, not Lake Windsor. Give two examples of his struggle to be part of Tangerine even when others want to identify him with Lake Windsor.

As Paul calmly observes the cracks growing in the façade of Lake Windsor, he gets closer to the lives of people in Tangerine. He experiences back-breaking labor firsthand when he goes to the Cruz family’s orchard to help them work their groves. He loves the experience. By working hard he gets close to the family, earns their respect, and discovers the softness behind their hard facades. First impressions are deceiving. While Joey reveals his racism, Victor, Tino, and Therese show their honesty and devotion to their families and community. Paul is drawn away from Lake Windsor and deeper into Tangerine.
