What is Foreshadowing?
The use of hints or clues to suggest future action.
Authors DO tell us what to expect in the future of the story….subtly

Why is This Important?
Authors plant clues….
They expect you to pick up on them….
Important parts of a film shouldn't be a shock!

What is the Purpose of Foreshadowing?
To create suspense!
The author wants the viewer to KNOW that things will happen
but wants to retain control over the HOW and WHEN things
will happen.

The Challenge of Finding Foreshadowing
Oftentimes, foreshadowing does not appear obvious to a reader until after the fact.
But….if you can view actively, you will have a better chance of noticing these intentional clues about future action!
