#3 Foreshadowing
In the book Brothers in Arms the author uses foreshadowing in order to give us clues or hints of what is to come. One example of foreshadowing can be found in chapter 1 page 11 paragraph 5. The text states “we’ll get them homes we will get them” said his friend Frankie. Here the author helps me see that perhaps later Martin and his friends will go out and kill the ones who killed martin’s brother huero.
Another example of foreshadowing can be found in chapter 2, page 14 and 15, paragraphs 5 and 1. The text states “I knew if it came down to it and we found the people in the car I’d be the one to pull the trigger.” Here the author helps me see that perhaps martin is going to shoot the guys who killed his brother with a 9 millimeter pistol from his friend Frankie.
