It was a strange night... it was warm but there was a evil feeling in the air it was like a rose I guess because they may be beautiful but the thorns hurt.

J<u>acobs uses foreshadowing at several moments in the story. </u>Foreshadowing is a technique in which information is revealed that predicts or indicates what will happen later on in the story. The two examples given above foreshadow that using the paw brings nothing good.<u> The first example is a line spoken by the Sergeant who brought the paw with him. When he says the first man to use the paw used his third wish to die, he is giving us information that helps us predict the bad things to come.</u>
<u>The second example happens when Mr. White, who is now in possession of the paw, makes his first wish. The piano that is being played by his son emits a loud noise, a crash, once he makes his wish. As a matter of fact, this reveals his son will die for his wish to come true.</u>
