Moreover, he ate that one grape without knowing it was his last thing he would be eating in a while.

"But her story lasts for six." This quote is saying that her story lasts for six more months, but there is more foreshadowing to the end of this passage then this single excerpt. The fact that it said it was a ‘calm night' makes you wonder if something is going to happen. If this night is calm, then another is most likely going to be chaotic.

So three months of calm, and Liesel's story only last for six months. ‘What is going to happen that will end all of this?' The foreshadowing excerpts seem to ask the reader. Though life is good now, it was not going to last. Something is going to happen that will change Liesel, but it does not hint at whatever

Your elementary school teachers could have completely lied to you. This is a realization that author, and former elementary school teacher, Charles Baxter realized during his years of teaching. He noticed this after his very own lesson about Egypt became more and more whimsical, and fairy-tale like. This lesson, and realization, led Baxter to more and more questions. He began to question if lying to these children would truly be such a bad thing. He questioned if lessons with tiny interesting white lies may actually be more effective in teaching. These questions inspired Baxter to create a character called Miss Ferenczi, a creative, engaging substitute teacher who emphasises creativity and free-thinking above memorizing facts. In “Gryphon”, Charles Baxter uses foreshadowing, and descriptive characterization to show that unconventional thinkers may bend

The first plot point that was foreshadowed in the novel was Lennie's obsession with soft things and the constant action he does after he has pet them. That action being that he ends up killing them.

In The Veldt, Ray Bradbury focused deeply on symbolism to create an image in the reader’s mind. Mr. and Ms. Hadley have two children that love playing in Africa.

As I read the story entitled "A New Perspective", I gained an appreciation for various literary techniques. For instance, Alicia often had the feeling that she was neglected as she grew up. This feeling was later replicated in her own experience as a mother. Thus, the use of foreshadowing was evident in this case. The author used foreshadowing to tie into the title and for insight into the protagonist's mind.

Foreshadowing is an advance sign or warning of what is to come in the future. One book that uses foreshadowing is The Kite Runner.

Then, Amir and his father, Baba, travel to America to escape the war against the Taliban. While in America, Amir marries a woman and shortly after, Amir receives a call from his father’s best friend. Amir returns to Afghanistan and learns Hassan is his half-brother. Amir then goes on a journey to rescue Hassan’s son, Sohrab, and later ends up bringing Sohrab to America and adopting him.
