Read this passage from “To Build a Fire.” Knowing how the story ends, what literary element or device is the author using in thi

s passage?
When it is seventy-five below zero, a man must not fail in his first attempt to build a fire—that is, if his feet are wet. If his feet are dry, and he fails, he can run along the trail for half a mile and restore his circulation. But the circulation of wet and freezing feet cannot be restored by running when it is seventy-five below. No matter how fast he runs, the wet feet will freeze the harder.
All this the man knew. The old-timer on Sulphur Creek had told him about it the previous fall, and now he was appreciating the advice.

Answer:

Foreshadowing

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary technique whereby an author provides a hint of what is to happen later in the story. At the end of the story, "To Build a Fire," the man who sojourned in the Yukon trail died in the cold. Foreshadowing occurred earlier in the passage when the old-timer on Sulphur Creek gave the advice to travel with a partner. It was as if he knew in advance that the man could die from the cold if circulation was not restored when the temperature was seventy-five below. Unfortunately, when the man was being frozen by the cold, he recalled that advice.

Hey do you have any example of how to answer this essay prompt
jekas [21]

Build a story for it. Write it as a narrative essay, unless the instructions are inckmpete. Ask your subject instructor about it when you see them next. But I'd still write it as a Narrative Essay before hand, just in case. Also, Look at it as "For Kennedy, suffering is necessary, even if in its absurd in the end." The point will be to to focus on this 'Kennedy' character and the full sentence.
