Answer:
The scarlet ibis shares many characteristics with Doodle, and it dies.
Aunt Nicey says, "Dead birds is bad luck," suggesting that now something bad will happen.
Explanation:
<em>The Scarlet Ibis</em> is a short story written by James Hurst. It tells about an ill boy nicknamed Doodle, whose brother wants to teach him how to do all things a regular boy can do: run, jump, swim, etc. One day, a sick scarlet ibis appears in his family's garden. When it died, Doodle buried it, while the rest of his family laughed. Soon after, during Doodle's rowing training, his brother got frustrated with the fact Doodle couldn't master the skills he wanted to teach him and left him in a rainstorm. He soon returned only to find Doodle lying on the ground with blood flowing out of his mouth, staining his throat and shirt red. That is how Doodle died.
Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives hints about what is going to happen later in a story. Details that tell us that Doodle is going to die are that he and the scarlet ibis that died share many characteristics, and Aunt Nicey saying that dead birds are bad luck. The rest of the options do nothing to foreshadow Doodle's death.
