    Analysis of a Picture Book--Where the Wild Things Are

    Many fantasy books open with “Once upon a time…” Sendak, instead opens this book with the declarative statement, “The night Max wore his wolf suit…” In starting the story this way, he makes the reader believe what is going to happen. The book opens with Max, in his wolf suit, creating havoc in his home. There is both pictorial and textual foreshadowing of the wild adventure ahead—the drawing of a “wild thing” on the wall that looks exactly like a monster we meet later in the book, the stool and tent that Max later sits in when he realizes he is lonely and wants to return home, and Max’s words, “I’ll eat you up!” This would be a great discussion starter with older students relative to the literary device of foreshadowing. After reading the story, one activity could be to make up other examples of foreshadowing that the author could have used.…

    A Good Man Is Hard to Find

    Foreshadowing is strong throughout the beginning of the story. The first time it arises is in the first paragraph when the grandmother is reading about the crazed killer by the name of the Misfit who is on the run and headed to Florida. She tries to warn the family about the Misfit and “what he did to those people” (182) at first it is thought that she is only saying these things to keep the family from going to Florida, but after looking closer it is really foreshadowing what will soon happen to them.…

    Foreshadowing In "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck

    John Steinbeck uses foreshadowing through out the story of "Of Mice and Men" to prepare the reader for the final scene. Foreshadowing is the composition of layered hints or clues about what may happen in the future of the story. Early in the story, these lines or events suggest a wide range of possibilities to the audience. But as the story progresses, the range narrows. In order for the impact of foreshadowing to be effective, the audience has to be both surprised by the climax of the story and find it logical. The logic comes from foreshadowing. Steinbeck uses foreshadowing in the course of "Of Mice and Men" by pulling together past events in the story, to build to the ending impact and overall importance and effect of the final scene.…

    Richmond says “The new support program’s coming,” and “It won't be long until we get Maxwell’s behavior straighter out at school.” I infer the plot will focus on how Max approaches the new support program that claims to provide motivation to students. In addition, from this statement a slight foreshadowing is created, since it leaves readers wondering about what is the new support program that Dr. Richmond is certain will change Max’s unsatisfactory behavior. In other words, from prior knowledge, I know one of the uses of foreshadowing is to convey information that will later help readers understand what comes later. Thus, allowing the inference that the plot will involve how Max will soon approach the new support…

    Use Of Foreshadowing In Of Mice And Men

    Throughout the history of novels, many things have changed. However, one thing that has stayed the same is the use of literary devices. These can be symbolism, metaphor, or irony, but one of the strongest is foreshadowing. In Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck uses foreshadowing for many reason, specifically by using the title to foreshadow the plot, by using prior events to foreshadow to the death of Curley’s wife, to foreshadow the death of George and Lennie’s dream and to foreshadow the death of Lennie.…
