Remember, the English word foreshadowing refers to a brief detail or scene that shows something that will occur again in the future. Indeed, this was the case in "House Taken Over" by Julio Cortazar.
For example, in the story a foreshadow of a shift in the tone of the story begins when we read about Elvio;
“I went down the corridor as far as the oak door, which was ajar, then turned into the hall toward the kitchen, when <em>I heard something in the library or the dining room. The sound came through muted and indistinct, a chair being knocked over onto the carpet or the muffled buzzing of a conversation...</em>I heard it. ....toward the door. I hurled myself against the door before it was too late and shut it...I ran the great bolt into place, just to be safe.”
Interestingly, from that point on the house became taken over by strange noises. In the end, the siblings been fully frightened left their ancestral home, that is when the true meaning title of the story becomes clearer. Indeed, it became a "House Taken Over".
Answer:
Letter to a friend on how to start a garden.
Explanation:
To,
My dear friend Ashley,
I heard that you are planning to get a garden started in your new home. So, here's some of my own take on how to get that done.
First, you must get rid of all the weeds in your garden as these plants will kill the good ones. Dig them out and also choose a place where there's good soil. Good soil will ensure your plants get the best treatment.
And then, you also have to choose what plants you want, while also focusing on the type of pots required. Different plants need different pots. Also, if you're working on planting on the ground itself and not on a pot, then make sure the flowerbeds are regularly weeded.
And most important of all, use fertilizers now and then, though not daily. And also make sure to water your plants daily or they will not grow as they should be.
If, in case, you need any help or anything, do let me know. I may not be an expert in gardening but I do know a few pointers to get it done.
Take care and will see you soon.
Love,
Sally.
