This is exactly what George did at the end; he shot Lennie when he wasn’t expecting it.

In Kurt Vonnegut’s story 2BRO2B he uses foreshadowing to show the readers what is to come. For example, the song that a hospital orderly walked down the hall singing foreshadows what is to come in the text and how their world works. When the audience first read the song, they didn’t really understand the meaning behind it, but later in the text we find out that it refers to their life and how it works. The song said “I’ll go see a girl in purple” which refers to the gas chamber hostess who works for the Federal Bureau of Termination. The song later says, “I’ll get off this old planet, Let some sweet baby have my place” which refers to the way they all live life. For every baby born, someone must give their life or one must be taken in order for that baby to live. This all together foreshadows what we will find out later when Wehling has to take three lives for his three new born babies.

He describes, “back in the time of the memories, everything had a shape and size, the way things still do, but they also had a quality called color.” (Lowery 94) Jonas cannot understand why he is beginning to see the color of red, although the Giver says there are a lot of colors. The Giver tells Jonas, “When you mentioned Fiona’s hair, it was the clue that told me you were probably beginning to see the red.” (Lowery 94) “Jonas looked at her. She was so lovely. For a fleeting instant he thought he would like nothing better than to ride peacefully along the river path, laughing and talking with his gentle female friend.” (Lowery 135) Jonas secretly likes Fiona. Jonas’s special emotion that he didn’t understand makes Jonas see red that represents love. So, the color of red symbolizes love. Now that he sees colors, he can experience all kinds of emotions.
