In the story “The Hitchhiker,” Lucille Fletcher uses foreshadowing to build a mood. The mood of it would be discovering. In the story the Hitchhiker Fletcher used foreshadowing to show how Adams felt about the hitchhiker here are some examples. In the story it said “Personally, I’ve never met anybody who didn’t like a good ghost story.”( Fletcher 1) This shows that she is foreshadowing that the story is going to be about a ghost. For another example from the story “ Oh, it isn't that. It’s-it’s just the trip. Ronald, I wish you weren’t driving.”( Fletcher 2) This shows that something bad is going to happen because his mom does not want him to

Foreshadowing is a vital ingredient to any suspenseful story. It hints at the idea that something is off-kilter, without ever revealing exactly what that something is. This leaves readers with an uneasy feeling about the plot, but they can’t quite figure out why. Because of that suspicious feeling, readers are left with a burning desire to find out what happens on the next page. Foreshadowing can be achieved many different ways, such as through eree names, unpleasant conversations, and odd occurrences.

The example, foreshadowing is when the writer gives the audience clues in the text or script about what

Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. An example of foreshadowing Wiesel exercises is when he uses Moshie the Beadle to introduce the kind of person he was before and after his experience in a labor camp. Moshie’s suffering foreshadows his and his family’s outcome. Moshie had managed to escape and return to Sighet

Foreshadowing is to show or indicate an action to be coming. Although the story is centered around Samuel, it is actually told by the passengers who witness the turn of events of Samuel and his friends Alfred,

Foreshadowing is when you give out a small piece of information that seems like nothing and ends up leading to something that happens in the future of the book. Hillenbrand drags a lot of foreshadowing in the book but you do not notice it while reading. First, Hillenbrand foreshadows Mac's death using this sentence, "Mac didn't join in on the prognostication. He was slipping away." When Hillenbrand states this it shows a feeling of grief, Mac is one of the main characters so you think he will not die even with his injury. As of that quote that feeling that Mac might die is heart ranching. She further introduces this by this description, "He said to Mac he may not survive that night." Louie saying this is building up suspense that a main character might pass away and it is making it seem important. There are many different ways that she adds foreshadowing wither it be danger or death. Also, Hillenbrand directs in on the island, "They knew the territory was Japanese and they strolled away with the ores in hands." Lastly, foreshadowing is a strong way to get into the readers head and make them think something else with that in mind Hillenbrand used this to manipulate endings and the

The author uses Foreshadowing for a number of different reasons including giving background information, to show the character’s motivation, to build a mood and to get the reader’s predicting. One of the most important craft moves that the author uses throughout the book is foreshadowing. “The temporary rose tattoo on his left biceps showed below his sleeve, but the slight bulge of the handgun in his shoulder holster was barely noticeable under his shirt.”(page 3) In the beginning of the book, by using foreshadowing the author achieves the goal of building a mood. When she does this, she makes it seem as if something bad is about to happen. It creates a very suspenseful and eerie mood. Another goal the author achieves by using foreshadowing in the beginning of the book is to provide the reader’s with background information. When the author talks about

Foreshadowing was a commonly used literary device the the author used in order to illustrate the point of view of Rainford, a character oblivious of what was to come in his future and what he was going to experience pertaining to emotional problems associated with hunting. Before Rainsford aborted his ship and swam to the mysterious island, he wasn’t sure of what laid ahead besides remarks his shipmates made before portraying the nature of an island close the area they were sailing in. (Connell pg 1) “The place has a reputation, a bad one.” This shows that Rainsford is in dangerous waters, but he doesn’t quite understand why. He also questions the words of his shipmates with a cleverly placed word. (Connell pg 1) “Cannibals?” A cannibal is when a member of a specific species eats its own flesh. This is hinting toward the idea of murder in the form of hunting for sport, one human harming another, without considering their victims emotions. Another somewhat iry form of foreshadowing which the

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

Foreshadowing, in literature, is used to indicate a significant event or a series of significant events that occur later on in the piece of writing. Often, the reader does not fully comprehend the importance of indicative words and/or phrases until being made aware of them later. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald foreshadows the inevitable outcome for his main star, Jay Gatsby. The events prior to Gatsby’s death all foreshadow the final outcome. Almost every characters are foreshadowed with how they end up. Fitzgerald uses imagery to convey hints and clues to Gatsby and everyone surrounding him and all of their eventual destination.

Another example of foreshadowing is when the painter lets his paintbrush fall down to the drop cloths after Wehling killed Dr. Hitz and Leora Duncan. The painter says that he is done painting and has had enough of the Happy Garden of Life, which is the mural he was painting and what was referred to as the characters’ perfect world. When the painter says he is done with the Happy Garden of Life it foretells the readers his next decisions. Those next decisions are him picking up the pistol, really intending on killing himself but he didn’t have the nerve, and instead calling the number; 2BRO2B. After calling this number a nice woman, just like Leora Duncan, picked up the phone and said “Federal Bureau of Termination” which shows us that he was planning on ending his life because he was done living the life he had been living. The painter then said that he would like to get an appointment as soon as

Foreshadowing is an important literary device authors use as a hook to keep the reader interested. When using it the reader can anticipate and predict what’s going to happen next in the story, and it creates suspense, leaving the reader wanting more.

Both texts shared numerous figurative languages. The one that really caught my attention was the foreshadowing that was utilized. “The Story of an Hour” contained two foreshadowing that caught my attention. (“There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair.”) (P 653) (“The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves”) (P 653). The open window that was described in the text seemed to be the path to her freedom, while the closed door behind her was the captive past that Mrs. Mallard experience. The open window was on a story higher than the ground floor. It seemed to me the foreshadowing of her death could be seen here. If she embraced her freedom and take the path through the open window, she would be faced with major consequences, which would lead to death. In “The Yellow Wallpaper”, the foreshadowing was used to convey something weird was going to happen, which in this case was the discovering of the women in the wallpaper. (“I would say a haunted house.”) (P 655) (“And why have stood so long untenanted?”) (P 655). Irony was also utilized in both texts. (“of joy that kills”) (P 654). Joy does not usually result in death. The irony part is that they thought the joy was for finding out that her husband is alive which they were mistaken as mentioned above. In “The Yellow Wallpaper”, irony was utilized mostly when dealing with her husband. (“John laughs at me, ofcourse, but one
