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>
