For example, in the exposition, Rainsford and Whitney discussed Ship-Trap Island and mentioned the word cannibal two times during this brief conversation: “‘Cannibals?’ suggested Rainsford. ‘Hardly. Even cannibals wouldn’t live…’” (Connell 2). While the significance of this repetition is not evident until later in the story when readers meet General Zaroff and learn that he hunts humans for sport, the use of repetition by an author is usually purposely done and often indicates hints or clues for the reader to pay attention to. In another example of foreshadowing, Connell describes General Zaroff…

    Ray Bradbury talks about the fierceness of the firemen during the first 2 pages of the novel. He mentions of them igniting flames to burn books instead of relinquishing them in our dimension.

Montag, the main character as introduced a little while back, is shown to be one of these aberrant firemen that smile that fierce grin. Although, the section of the passage mentioning, “as long as he remembered” is foreshadowing the evident decline of his fiery…

    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.…

The entire novel is written to perfection: there is not a single sentence within that does not contain subtle foreshadowing or a clever metaphor. The title originates from “Come Back Peter! Come Back Paul!” which foreshadows the ending of the novel and completes the cycle of life, which is one of the main themes Malouf is portraying.…
