Therefore, the foreshadowing in the story creates suspense for both the characters and the readers.

Arguably the biggest example of foreshadowing came from Lennie getting shot. In the book on pg. 12 it said, “George said, ‘I want you to stay with me, Lennie. Jesus Christ, somebody’d shoot you for a coyote if you was by yourself.’” This quote represents foreshadowing as it says Lennie will be shot. The book ended with Lennie getting shot by George as George couldn’t stand seeing Lennie getting killed by anyone else. Also this quote shows foreshadowing as Lennie was shot like a dog. In the quote it said that somebody would shoot him like a coyote. By saying that he would get shot like a coyote, he meant getting shot when he wouldn’t even expect it. This is exactly what George did at the end; he shot Lennie when he wasn’t expecting it.

“The Most Dangerous Game”, by Richard Cornell was a story which Mr.Cornell used 8 aspects of fiction to show his point of view that one who has intellect can overcome one who has intelligence or instinct. The character’s used in the story gave the author a way to make his point of view come clear to his audience. The story uses sequence of events. The plot is how the story goes about. The setting is the surroundings of the story, or where it takes place. The suspense is the temporary holding of the information to keep the reading interested, and to keep the reader guessing and wanting to know what will happen so they will continue reading your story. Foreshadowing is the readers way of telling the ‘future’, in other words the writer is

In the story “The Hitchhiker,” Lucille Fletcher uses foreshadowing to build a mood. The mood of it would be discovering. In the story the Hitchhiker Fletcher used foreshadowing to show how Adams felt about the hitchhiker here are some examples. In the story it said “Personally, I’ve never met anybody who didn’t like a good ghost story.”( Fletcher 1) This shows that she is foreshadowing that the story is going to be about a ghost. For another example from the story “ Oh, it isn't that. It’s-it’s just the trip. Ronald, I wish you weren’t driving.”( Fletcher 2) This shows that something bad is going to happen because his mom does not want him to

The first way the author creates suspense in the story is by foreshadowing. When Captain Torres walked into the barber’s shop, the barber, “Started to shake,” (Tellez 1) indicating that the barber felt instant fear, when his enemy approached. This foreshadows that the barber knows the man and that he will be deciding to kill him or not. Foreshadowing creates suspense because it is a clue given to the reader. It is the reader’s job to guess what is going to happen in the story and that is what makes it interesting. Without foreshadowing the reader won’t be able to prepare what is going to happen next. Another scene where the foreshadowing technique is used was when the barber came up with his reasons to not kill Captain Torres. The barber contemplated in his mind, “Don’t want to stain myself with blood. Just lather, and nothing else,” (Tellez 2) which foreshadows that the barber is not going to commit murder.

One example of suspense in “The Monkey’s Paw” by Jacobs is created through setting. For example in the very beginning, it says “the night was cold and wet”, (Jacobs, 1). This example adds suspense because it sets the mood of the story and gives the story a gloomy and dark feel. Also, it is night and sometimes bad things can happen at night. Another example of suspense through setting is when a conversation starts amongst the Whites. Mr. White says “hark at the wind”, (Jacobs, 7). This is showing how the wind is loud and noisy. Lastly, when the Whites are talking about how they had to wait for Sergeant Major Morris because they live so far out with only one neighbor. This is showing suspense through waiting and with the waiting comes

Foreshadowing is a vital ingredient to any suspenseful story. It hints at the idea that something is off-kilter, without ever revealing exactly what that something is. This leaves readers with an uneasy feeling about the plot, but they can’t quite figure out why. Because of that suspicious feeling, readers are left with a burning desire to find out what happens on the next page. Foreshadowing can be achieved many different ways, such as through eree names, unpleasant conversations, and odd occurrences.

Suspense is when the author makes the reader, or audience excited or scared for what might happen in the story, or even what will happen to the character next in the story. Suspense might even be something you see or hear that will make you have questions about what will happen next. If there is a cliffhanger at the end of a story, it will leave you with questions wondering what will happen to the characters next. The mood, tone, setting, emotions of character, sound and sight might affect how the story is suspenseful. We all enjoy watching suspenseful movies and reading stories, because they are exciting. It leaves us with questions that the author won't have the answers to in the end, so the author gives us as the audience, the chance to make up their own ending to the story or movie. The author will give you clues throughout the story, to help you fill in questions you might have in the end. This makes it more exciting for the reader and the audience because we get to engage with the characters in the book or movie. The tv series, Stranger Things, is about 4 kids who have to fight off monsters in a little town in Indiana. This TV show is a great example of suspense, and it shows it effectively because, of Foreshadowing, Dilemma, and Dramatic Irony presented throughout the show. With just using those four examples, Stranger Things is a great example of suspense.

Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. An example of foreshadowing Wiesel exercises is when he uses Moshie the Beadle to introduce the kind of person he was before and after his experience in a labor camp. Moshie’s suffering foreshadows his and his family’s outcome. Moshie had managed to escape and return to Sighet

Foreshadowing are hints or clues of what’s to come. For instance, during the party in which Romeo meets Juliet, Tybalt sees the Montagues in the party at the house of Capulets. Capulet forbids Tybalt from doing anything harshly, and Tybalt says something that makes the audience start thinking, “I will withdraw; but this intrusion shall, now seeming sweet, convert to bitt’rest gall,” (1.5.93). Tybalt’s words make the audience think about what Tybalt might be planning. Is something going to happen between Tybalt and Romeo? It raises that emotional tension that Shakespeare intended to express in his writing. Another time is when Friar Laurence admires his flowers, and foreshadows Romeo’s future, “Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast,” (2.3.94). Romeo’s fast pace to be with Juliet could lead to a possible disaster, and Friar had already noticed. This line makes the audience believe something serious is going to happen to Romeo and Juliet. Lifting the stress in the audience and makes them think of possible outcomes. Literary devices are made to help the audience understand how the character’s are feeling, and how the story’s going, and possible

In the sources the authors talk about suspense in stories they write. The suspense in the story could be how the author doesn’t give full detail or description on one or more characters. In the source “How do horror writers create suspense” by Percy D’Aco it shows that many horror stories often revolve around mayhem and the stuff in nightmares, and that great horror story often reflects a person’s biggest fear. Often authors like to keep the readers in suspense to scare them or make them want to keep reading and see how the story ends.

Stephen King incorporates this into many of his tales, as it adds an element of creepiness to the goosebump-inducing plot. In his popular short story, Sorry, Right Number, foreshadowing is a large portion of the story. This is shown in the following quote. “Katie. It was not a prank and it was not a wrong number! It was someone in my family!” (King 161). This is an example of foreshadowing because Katie later realizes it was someone in her family: herself. However, the reader doesn’t know this until the very end, and then they get a flashback of all the foreshadowing events leading up to the plot twist. While foreshadowing is an excellent tool to use, strong description is a key part in most novels, and Stephen King uses imagery as his best

An example of foreshadowing in the "House of Usher", a story from "eight Tales of Terror", by Edgar Allen Poe, is Ushers sudden interest in an odd religion. "His chief delight, however, was found in the perusal of an exceedingly rare and curious book... I could not help bu thinking of the wild ritual of this work..."(page 112) With the resent death of Ushers sister, Lady Madeline, the reader can infer that Usher is trying to do something to her corpse. What the reader does not know is what Usher will do to her body. The reader could make many different predictions. Usher could have done something to Lady Madeline's body to see how the illness effected her, or he could have tried to bring her back to life. The reader can be lead to think that

Foreshadowing is shown in this excerpt as it gives the audience an image of the wife dying before it actually happens. It potrays the image ironically, however, in that here it seen she will die in a car crash caused by her husbands driving, while in reality her death will be because she was shot after getting out of a car crash.
