How does the author of "a relay race to remember" use foreshadowing to create tension in the story?

Answer:

The author uses foreshadowing to create tension in the story by not letting the reader know what decision is Malik going to make.

Explanation:

During the story, great tension is created while Malik limped more and more during the swimming tournament.

He was the captain and the best swimmer in the team. Despite being very hurt, Malik told everyone that he was in perfect condition, but in his mind, there was fear and despair as the story progressed. That feeling is also transmitted to the reader, wondering how the tournament will end and what will happen to Malik's ankle.

Finally, Malik's team and their rival are tied and have to break in a relay race.

Malik wanted the medal of that last race very much and not being able to swim made him really sad, but he recognized that he really couldn't swim in that condition.

The tense moment comes to an end when he decides to let his substitute swim. Sean, who took a great advantage over the rival team, established a new record and took the medal home.

What lies does Gatsby tell Nick in The Great Gatsby?​
ziro4ka [17]
Gatsby tells Nick lies about his past life. When they are riding together to New York, Gatsby says “something about my life”, he then proceeds to tell Nick about his very rich mix-western family background and “a family tradition” of his Oxford education. Gatsby also tells him how when his entire family died, he inherited lots of money which allowed him to travel all around Europe where he collected many jewels, painted, and tried to escape a sad memory. Nick was one of the very few people who was genuine in becoming friends with Gatsby, and Gatsby felt he needed Nicks approval. Gatsby also wants Nick to believe the wealthy background that Gatsby has invented about himself as a way of making it real.
