Question

please help ! In the scarlet ibis, the narrator foreshadows doodles death in all of the following ways except a. showing doodle the mahogany coffin in the loft b. the death of the scarlet ibis c. choosing the name of a poisonous insect- doodlebug d. the description of the setting in the beginning of the story

Answer 1

i think d... it's definitely not a or b, because they do foreshadow his death

Answer 2

c. choosing the name of a poisonous insect- doodlebug

Naming Doodle after a poisonous insect does not necessarily mean that he is going to die. In fact, it could've foreshadowed that Doodle would kill someone else - which he didn't do. The other option are all correct. Doodle in the coffin foreshadows his death. The scarlet ibis being described as having similar traits as Doodle shows their similarities and therefore foreshadows his death. At the beginning of the story the setting is described with very vivid language that shows death is eminent.
