dangerous it is to jump onto a moving freight car
The excerpt describes the care with which Enrique must take when jumping onto a moving freight car. When the narrator starts talking about the peril Enrique faces if he misses, the train is given human traits. The migrants further this when they say "The train ate him up." The train can't actually eat the boy, but it will seem as though it did because of the way the body will be torn up on the tracks.
Answer :
Foreshadowing is a literary device through which a writer gives hints about what is most likely to happen later in the story or book. It helps in engaging the reader and develops his anticipation about events that are likely to happen in the future.
The given excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell is an example of foreshadowing.
Based on the evidence provided in the excerpt, Rainsford most likely will search for the island’s inhabitants.
The lines "He looked about him, almost cheerfully. "Where there are pistol shots, there are men. Where there are men, there is food," he thought." foreshadow that he will try to search for the island's inhabitants.
