Question

How does the author use foreshadowing to contribute to the story’s overall meaning? Explain at least two examples of foreshadowing and how they develop the theme of the story.

Answer 1

Answer:

Foreshadowing is when clues within the text suggest events will occur later in the story. In this quote, when Mr. White wishes for two hundred pounds, Herbert says that he doesn't see the money and he bets he never will. ... Foreshadowing can be used in a subtle text, for example a storm cloud coming to indicate danger.  

examples: Sergeant Major Morris clearly indicates that he is afraid of the monkey's paw. For instance, his teeth chatter against the glass. Then when he tells the Whites that the previous owner had his first two wishes granted but his third was for death, Morris hints at the danger connected to the monkey's paw.
