Foreshadowing In The Poem The Buzzmaw
However, when looking back at the poem, the author seems to have foreshadowed the outline of the poem and given us clues of what might be happening next. In the first line “The buzz saw snarled and rattled in the yard”. The author uses personification and personifies the buzz saw by giving it the actions of snarling and rattling as an angry person might. Personifying the buzz saw can also give us some kind of imaginative effect. And because he uses the word “snarled” we can predict that something unfortunate is going to happen since it's usually used in a negative sense.
