icang [17]

Mather wrote a letter to one of the magistrates in the Salem witch trials, John Richards of Boston, urging caution in the use of spectral evidence. He was also the author of the "Return of the Several Ministers," a report sent to the judges of the Salem court. This document advised caution in the use of spectral evidence because the devil could indeed assume the shape of an innocent person, and  degrading the use of spectral evidence in the trials, their "noise, company, and openness", and the use of witch tests such as the recitation of the Lord's Prayer.

In at least 100 words, explain the author’s use of foreshadowing in Nadine Gordimer’s “Once Upon a Time.”
lisabon 2012 [21]
Nadine Gordimer weaves many examples of foreshadowing into "Once Upon a Time." The frame story introduces the concept of fear.

As the bedtime story begins, readers learn the family is "living happily ever after." Since such wording usually describes the end, not the beginning, of a story, readers know the happiness cannot last, or there would not be any story at all. The reference to the parents' fencing the swimming pool so the boy won't "fall in and drown" foreshadows the boy's death in his own yard. The early appearance of a "wise old witch" also portends some sort of evil curse or ill fortune. When the second paragraph of the bedtime story explains "it was not possible to insure the house. . . against riot damage," readers suspect such an event may occur. This foreshadowed event never happens; instead, it is the desire to "insure against. . . damage" that becomes the destructive force in the family's life.

The cat that keeps setting off the alarm acts as a bad omen as well. Cats and witches often portend evil, and in this case, the fact that the cat can scale the wall and get through the bars predicts that the home is not yet fully secure. The installation of the "Dragon's Teeth" fencing that makes their home look like a concentration camp, and the wife's first contradiction ("You're wrong") give a feeling of foreboding as the end of the story nears. Now the cat sleeps on the bed, yet the husband's calm assurance that "cats always look before they leap" makes readers anticipate that the cat is wiser than his human owners, and that they are leaping into danger that they haven't fully considered.

The foreshadowing Gordimer uses helps readers stay engaged with the story as they anticipate a non-traditional ending to this "bedtime story."

I think a person just knows when it is the right time to end a friendship, they should know when the friendship can no longer continue, and a person should leave a friendship based on what type of emotions come from the friendships and a person should always care about they’re well-being first it’s not selfish it’s self care.
