What is Foreshadowing?
  • Foreshadowing is a literary device in which an
    author drops subtle hints about plot developments
    to come later in the story.
  • You can think of foreshadowing as a way of giving
    the reader a chance to make a predication about
    what might happen next in the story.

7
What is Foreshadowing?
  • Writers use a variety of techniques to give the
    reader/watcher hints as to what is to come
  • Movies and TV Shows music
  • Stories words that give away emotions (anxious,
    nervous, excited, etc)
  • Be on the look out for subtle hints of
    foreshadowing.

Example of Foreshadowing
  • "NOW, my dears," said old Mrs. Rabbit one
    morning, "you may go into the fields or down the
    lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden
    your Father had an accident there he was put in
    a pie by Mrs. McGregor."
  • Beatrix Potter from The Tale of Peter Rabbit

What do you think might happen next?

Example of Foreshadowing

Power Question 1
  • 1. Sarah closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
    It was exactly a year ago today that she stood
    in this very same spot, trying to do the very
    same thing. How could I be doing this? Sarah
    thought to herself. She took a deep breath and
    recalled that embarrassing and humiliating time.
  • She had sung on stage a million times, but, for
    some reason, that night was different. As she
    gazed out in the into the crowd, she saw them.
    They never came, yet there they were. Sarahs
    breath had quickened and her heart began to beat
    a mile a minute. I cant do this, she mumbled
    as she fled the stage.
  • And now, exactly a year later, Sarah stood,
    ready to head out on stage. She hoped she was
    ready.

Power Question 2
  • 2. Robinson Crusoe (paraphrased excerpt)
  • Daniel Defoe
  • Being the third son of the family, and not bred
    to any trade, my head began to be filled very
    early with rambling thoughts. My father, who was
    very ancient, had given me a competent share of
    learning, as far as house education a country
    free school generally go, and designed me for the
    law, but I would be satisfied with nothing but
    going out to sea. My inclination to this led me
    so strongly against the will, nay, the commands,
    of my father, and against all the entreaties and
    persuasions of my mother and other friends, that
    there seemed to be something fatal in that
    propension of nature tending directly to the life
    of misery which was to befall me.
  • The author uses the reaction of Robinson Crusoes
    family and friends to give the reader hints of
    what may happen in the story.
  • This is known as ________________.
  • Exposition
  • Flashback
  • Exaggeration
  • Foreshadowing

Power Question 3
  • 3. The dark storm clouds rolled across the lake
    and Rebecca couldnt help but shiver. The
    ominous feeling the black clouds gave her made
    her pull her wool coat closely around her. She
    started walking faster and faster, hoping that
    whatever was coming would pass quickly and
    wouldnt hurt too badly.
  • This is an example of
  • Foreshadowing

  • Flashback
