I know now- something very bad! Some terrible thing-coming closer and closer” (Adams 7).

Foreshadowing is a literary device used by authors to hints at what will happen later in the story. In the short story, “The Monkey’s Paw”, there is a monkey paw that has a spell on it and the person who possess it can make 3 wishes. “The Leap” is a great story about a mother and her daughter's journey through life and despite tragedy they stay together. In each story there are many examples of foreshadowing. Two examples of foreshadowing from “The Monkey’s Paw” are “A fine crash from the piano greeted the words,”(Jacobs pg 36); “Herbert sat by the fire alone in the darkness , gazing at the dying fire, and seeing faces in it . The last face was so horrible and simian that he gazed at it with amazement” ( Jacobs pg 36). Examples

The literary technique of foreshadowing is employed by many authors to add a suspenseful tension to a novel, or to help explain later events. Additionally, diction and imagery can be employed to provide more sensory involvement to help draw in the reader, and provide more tangibility to the story. In A Separate Peace, John Knowles’ inimical diction and imagery foreshadow certain aspects of the novel, and characterize Gene’s adult character.

Foreshadowing is a literary technique which is used by authors to give an advance hint of the upcoming events that will occur later in the story. This can give the reader a heads up about something, or increases tension. But either way, it keeps one

“If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there” (Anton Chekhov).In the novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, the author uses foreshadowing to hint at events that will happen in the future. One example is on page 15 :”Well, look. Lennie-if you jus’ happen to get in trouble like you always done before, I want you to come right here an’ hide in the brush.” “Hide in the brush,” said Lennie slowly.

Foreshadowing is when the author of a text indicates or hints at what might happen in the end. When foreshadowing the author may not tell the reader directly what happens but they may only imply what the outcome is or they may even leave it to the reader to come up with their own ending. Washington Irving is quite famous for his foreshadowing. Such as in his short story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.”

In Sheila Mant the author uses foreshadowing when he lets the biggest fish of his life go you know that he is going to be disappointed that he let it go. He was especially mad when his girl dumped him. Another example of foreshadowing is in the Interlopers when the get trapped under the tree. it is foreshadowing that something is going to happen to them.

What is foreshadowing? Foreshadowing is when an author, before an event happens, hints at what is going to happen. An example would be when all the birds, bird that usually don’t usually get along are flying together, and Nat makes the observation that something weird is happening. In this example, Nat’s observation that the birds are teaming up suggests

Foreshadowing is when events hint at occurrences to take place later in the book. The literary element is explored in the gothic novel, Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley. The literary element is used for suspense and to create interest. The monster’s threat, Caroline’s portrait in the locket, and Victor Frankenstein’s warning to Robert Walton all foreshadow important events to come.

Foreshadowing is a way that the author will give hints and innuendos as to what will happen in the story. Boyles’ opening sentence: “There was a time when courtesy and winning ways went out of style, when it was good to be bad, when you cultivated decadence like a taste. We were all dangerous characters then” (Bolye 261) is the perfect example to suggest that bad behavior is brewing in the boys. The constant use of “bad character” throughout the story does more than just hint that wrongful acts are about to occur. Later on the narrator explains “The first two nights we'd been out till dawn, looking for something we never found…There was nothing to do but take a bottle of lemon-flavored gin up to Greasy Lake" (Boyle 262) foreshadows their finding of this "something". They were out so late looking for trouble when trouble found them.

Foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is a hint, clue that is displayed within a story, about something that’ll alter happen within the story. Foreshadowing helps us, the readers, understand the flow of a story, by how it’ll will end. For example, let’s say you’re in a dark alley. You meet a suspicious man dressed in black. He speaks upon you, “One by one they will fall.” You’re not sure what he meant at the moment. But, after a few weeks passed you discover your brother has died. Then a few more weeks your sister. Then your father, mother, aunt and more. You find this very suspicious. You then recall the guy u met in the alley. “One by one they will fall”, you repeat to yourself. There’s no other way. He is responsible for this. The story “The Landlady” gives a good example of foreshadowing.

Stephen kings mosy powerful use of foreshadowing is when jimmy handed him a business card and then later, he gave it to one of his friends. "You know, these guys changed my life." Morrisons life was changed through the program. Mccann siad they would and that proved to be true. Now this is a way of paying it

The last example of foreshadowing is in the exchange that the Grandmother and The Misfit have towards the end of the story. The Grandmother asks The Misfit what he did to get sent to prison the first time. The Misfit then responds by describing what a prison cell was like, “Turn to the right, it was a wall… Turn to the left, it was a wall. Look up it was a ceiling, look down it was a floor” (O’Connor 527).The description of a prison cell can also imply the description of a small, tight grave exactly what
