Nadine Gordimer weaves many examples of foreshadowing into "Once Upon a Time." The frame story introduces the concept of fear.
As the bedtime story begins, readers learn the family is "living happily ever after." Since such wording usually describes the end, not the beginning, of a story, readers know the happiness cannot last, or there would not be any story at all. The reference to the parents' fencing the swimming pool so the boy won't "fall in and drown" foreshadows the boy's death in his own yard. The early appearance of a "wise old witch" also portends some sort of evil curse or ill fortune. When the second paragraph of the bedtime story explains "it was not possible to insure the house. . . against riot damage," readers suspect such an event may occur. This foreshadowed event never happens; instead, it is the desire to "insure against. . . damage" that becomes the destructive force in the family's life.
The cat that keeps setting off the alarm acts as a bad omen as well. Cats and witches often portend evil, and in this case, the fact that the cat can scale the wall and get through the bars predicts that the home is not yet fully secure. The installation of the "Dragon's Teeth" fencing that makes their home look like a concentration camp, and the wife's first contradiction ("You're wrong") give a feeling of foreboding as the end of the story nears. Now the cat sleeps on the bed, yet the husband's calm assurance that "cats always look before they leap" makes readers anticipate that the cat is wiser than his human owners, and that they are leaping into danger that they haven't fully considered.
The foreshadowing Gordimer uses helps readers stay engaged with the story as they anticipate a non-traditional ending to this "bedtime story."
I wrote two for you :)
This mystery is who killed one of the characters teachers, who was very dear to them. The character leaves the classroom to go to the bathroom, and when they come back their teacher was dead on the floor with stab wounds. They look around the classroom, who was in pure shock. They scan the classrom to find that 5 students have fleed. They wait until the next day at school to see the 5 students. They pull the students aside at lunch break, and ask them questions about the teacher and what they were doing during all of that. One students answers, "I was going to get some water." Another answers, "I was going to the bathroom." Two answer, "I was going to return my book to the library." And the last one answers, "I was going to get a teacher." They immediately knew who'd killed the teacher, because they went to the bathroom themselves and no one else was there except for them.
Here's a more lighthearted one, this mystery is who broke the lamp in the kitchen. The character leaves the house to go to school, and when they come back, they find that the lamp in the kitchen was broken. They call over their family. "Who broke the lamp?" they ask. They all point fingers at each other. Person A points at Person C, the girl. Person B points at Person A, the boy. Person C points at Person B, the baby. The character immediately knew who did it because the baby stayed in its crib the whole day and couldnt get out. They were also too weak to break the lamp. Person C has broken the lamp.
