Foreshadowing In The Help

The Sixth Sense is a film with subtle hints towards the future of the characters or even the plot of the story. Foreshadowing was used in almost every scene. One of the biggest points of foreshadowing used in this film was temperature change. Cole was cursed with being able to see dead people, whenever one of these encounters was going to occur with an angry or emotional ghost the temperature drastically dropped. An example of this is one night Cole woke up and went to the restroom. While there something runs across the screen and Cole turns his head to reveal him breathing out and being able to see his breath, meaning the temperature greatly dropped. This happened multiple times throughout the movie when he had other encounters through ghosts.

E.M. Forster suggests that William Golding’s writing “lays out a solid foundation for the horrors to come” in Lord of the Flies. This is true, due to Golding’s excessive amount of foreshadowing in the beginning of the novel that hints to the murders of two characters: Simon and Piggy. For instance, the very first paragraph of the novel includes foreshadowing when it states, “He was clambering heavily among the creepers and broken trunks when a bird, a vision of red and yellow, flashed upwards with a witch-like cry; and this cry was echoed by another.” The bird’s cries represent Simon’s death, and its echo represents Piggy’s death, since it followed quickly afterward. The colors, on the other hand, represent blood, fire, cowardice and deceit,

Her life was not easy, her husband got shot and was left alone yet she came back to care for him. That didn’t stop him from verbally abusing him. But when push came to shove, she just left because she kept expressing how she felt. She could have killed her husband if she let her anger pile on inside but she let it out and it made a lot of space in her heart to forgive her husband. Writing and other forms of self-expression have helped many others alike so this says a lot about the usefulness of the literary arts.

In a prayer, one should start with praise, while in traditional writing; one usually begins with a main idea or a chosen topic. “Praise comes hard” (1.3-4) to this speaker, however, because he stutters. His trouble with articulating praise can be compared to the writer’s inability to find the right words or the appropriate place to begin a piece of writing. This dilemma is often referred to as “writer’s block.” Praying drunk seems to relieve this problem, however, and he proceeds to discuss a woman, whom he taught this prayer or writing formula. Perhaps she is an aspiring writer who has asked him for guidance in her writing. He asks his readers to take care of her, which is a plea for them to give her ideas the same attention that they have given his writing. With this request, he is deviating from the blueprint, to which he is trying to adhere, which suggests that writing, much like life, does not always follow a prescribed formula, and that creative ideas do not always conform to the standard.
