The excerpt contributes to the theme of fate in that it suggests that Farquhar is wrestling with forces larger than himself.

The fact that he was sure of the malign significance of the strange constellations and the voices he hears, suggests that Farquhar thinks an evil force has interfered in his life to have him killed.

Later in the story, however, we learn that the third part of the story was actually a<em> hallucination</em> that came to him between being thrown from the bridge and the rope breaking his neck, and that Farquhar has indeed died.

<h3>What is Foreshadowing?</h3>

This refers to the literary technique that is used to show the prediction or hint about future events in a story.

Hence, we can see that although your question is incomplete, I can infer that you refer to the book <em>Shapeshifter</em> and the foreshadowing used shows the mayhem that is about to befall the neighborhood when dark shapes begin to move as they are possessed by spirits.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes the way that Thoreau structured "Resistance to Civil

Government" is that he uses logos to present rational arguments and then ethos to demonstrate that he lives by his principles.

The injustice of the government which the people should disobey and he also sets and example of pursuing what was right through his refusal to pay taxes as a way of protesting against slavery. This combines both logos and ethos as he first elaborated his argument and then proves it's morally right using ethos.
