Most people in the world have had a hard time admitting that someone has died that they care about. In the world this happens a lot because it is a hard thing to excepted.

In the story “The Hitchhiker,” Lucille Fletcher uses flashback, foreshadowing,and symbolism to build a mood.

. For example, In The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini uses foreshadowing to illustrate the message of redemption. For instance, “I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in winter in 1975.” (Hosseini 1). Furthermore, Foreshadowing is being used in the very beginning of the novel to hint the major tragic. Therefore, he is acting cold hearted because of what happened to him in the past and that makes him believe he has the right to be what he is seeming to be and the right to hurt others for revenge, what happened to him makes him be the way he is. For example, “I popped another one in, unaware that it would be the last bit of solid food I would eat for a long time” (Hosseini 275). Moreover, he ate that one grape without knowing it was his last thing he would be eating in a while.

Do you ever look for work to do to get a reward? Many men during the 1930s were migrant workers and looked for work to get rewarded for their efforts. In the book Of Mice and Men, George and Lennie are very unlikely, migrant workers who dream of buying land one day not to mention own their own farm. A migrant worker is someone who travels place to place to look for work, which is where the journey begins for wise but compact George and immense but child-like Lennie. These two men experience all sorts of surprises from animals and people getting killed, to fights in a barn and a relationship without love. The author of this book John Steinbeck uses a universal theme or a moral that can be relatable to many people and the use of foreshadowing to give a clue on the events that are going to happen in future. In Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck uses four examples of foreshadowing; plans go askew, death of Curleys wife, loss of the farm dream and death of Lennie.

In the novella, Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck shows using foreshadowing that demonstrates that all things weak will eventually perish and the strong, more open minded people will naturally survive in the world. What this means is that people who are more childlike and weak won’t be able to face what is there in the world, thus leading to an inevitable death. Some weak characters and beings in this novella could be people like Lennie, or like the mice that he kills, or the very small, weak puppy. An example of foreshadowing used in Of Mice and Men is when Lennie’s new puppy dies shortly after Lennie receives the puppy. Lennie is by himself in the barn, around the end of the story, when the other men are out playing horseshoes, all except Lennie: “‘Why do you got to get killed?

The ability to see into the future is something anyone would want and you're insane if you don't. Authors have the power to grant that ability to the readers if they so choose to. John Steinbeck is one of the many authors who repeatedly allows the reader to see what will happen in the story through foreshadowing. In Of Mice and Men Steinbeck uses foreshadowing multiple times to empower the reader to see into the future of the novella. Steinbeck has George say over and over to Lennie that he always gets in trouble, he uses Candy's dog to show Candy's old age and close demise, and the dead puppy to foreshadow the death of curley's wife.

Everyone is racist at times. When a whole town makes a man go to jail and leave his family and eventually dying because of a fake charge given to him because he was a negro. That is when it starts stretching the line but, this is what Maycomb County did. In To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee uses foreshadowing and characterization to convey that racism is a problem.

Foreshadowing is used throughout the novel, Harper Lee uses foreshadowing to create a climax causing the novel to become interesting and suspenseful for instance, Jem says “ [Scout] had to grow up sometime.” Foreshadowing is used here because Scout in the book grows up to a sense that racism is a bad thing. Foreshadowing is a literary element used to make a novel interesting, it creates a indication of something that might happen in the future.

The use of foreshadowing in relation to the Ewells allows Lee to show how much Jem has changed throughout the book and is coming of age. "... Mr. Ewell said it made one down and about two more to go." (Lee 241). It foreshadows that Tom Robinson was Bob Ewell’s main target,and next in line was Atticus, but he knew that if he went after Atticus, Atticus would have hurt him; so Bob Ewell went after what Atticus loves the most, his children. This further explains the quote mentioned above in that the two left to go that Bob Ewell was referring to were Atticus’s children. Another case of Lee utilizing foreshadowing in association with the Ewells is with Atticus’s statement “what on earth could Ewell do to me sister?” and Aunt Alexandra replied

The first chapter of Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne describes a rose-bush in front of an old wooden prison door. Telling the reader that the rose symbolize some sweet moral blossom to the condemned. I can surmise that the author is foreshadowing the events that will take place throughout the story. The second chapter begins with women gossiping about a young lady named Hester Prynne and the consequence the magistrates decided on. The woman calls her a hussy, another women declares that the magistrates should have put a brand on her forehead, believing that having her wear the A on the bodice of her gown wouldn’t be enough. The woman’s crudity towards Hester was suprising, knowing these same women probably talked to her before she perpetrated her crime,

In the mad dog scene, Atticus shows a skill that he possesses that not many people know of. We’re given the suspense, the same as the characters, as we wait for Atticus to finally put Tim Johnson (aka the mad dog) to rest. We feel the same suspense during Tom Robinson’s trial. Atticus, to the best of his abilities, puts up the best fight possible in this situation – even proving the Ewell’s testimonies to be inaccurate. The suspense is at its thickest while waiting for the jury’s verdict because we know that Atticus is right, but it’s also known that it would take a very strong display of bravery and conviction on the jury’s part to let Tom Robinson leave un-scorched.

Foreshadowing is my favourite literary device, it adds suspense and increases your desire to read. In chapters seven to nine in "Lord of the Flies," there are different instances that foreshadow Simon's death. One of those instances being when Simon is talking to the pig head on the stick or better known as the Lord of the Flies. While talking to the pig, it is revealed that Simon does not believe in the beast and that he know the beast is inside all of them. This made up beast is the reason "why things are the way they are" and it is the savage nature of the boys taking over and playing with their brains.

“Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren't so different” (Hinton). In the book The OutSiders the girl Cherry begins to ask Ponyboy about him reading and watching the sunset. She goes on to tell him that she onced too watched sunsets. He shrugs and begins to think about her and how a person or a folk like her would be able to do such things as he did. “I pictured that, or tried to…”(Hinton). In the book To Kill a mockingbird Scout begins to think about the other folks in her town. The two passages have a lot in common and have the same meaning behind them.
