<u>Explanation:</u>

Remember, the English word foreshadowing refers to a brief detail or scene that shows something that will occur again in the future. Indeed, this was the case in "House Taken Over" by Julio Cortazar.

For example, in the story a foreshadow of a shift in the tone of the story begins when we read about Elvio;

“I went down the corridor as far as the oak door, which was ajar, then turned into the hall toward the kitchen, when <em>I heard something in the library or the dining room. The sound came through muted and indistinct, a chair being knocked over onto the carpet or the muffled buzzing of a conversation...</em>I heard it. ....toward the door. I hurled myself against the door before it was too late and shut it...I ran the great bolt into place, just to be safe.”

Interestingly, from that point on the house became taken over by strange noises. In the end, the siblings been fully frightened left their ancestral home, that is when the true meaning title of the story becomes clearer. Indeed, it became a "House Taken Over".

What does say i can or i cant and your right either way mean ?

Margaret [11]

I think this is coming from the Henry Ford quote, which is "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right."

This quote basically means that what you think you can do is all in your mind and how you perceive yourself. if you think you can do something, then you'll be able to do it. If you think you can't do something, then you won't be able to, because you have already given up in your mind.

Does that make sense?
