In "The Black Cat", by Edgar Allan Poe, the narrator's participation in the cat's death foreshadows
Foreshadow is a literary device, that consists of clues to suggest what is going to happen later in the story.

The transition words
are used to link words, phrases or sentences in order to help the reader to
progress from one idea to the next idea. They also help to build up coherent
relationships within the text. Transition words have been assigned to
artificial categories such as: agreement, opposition, causes, examples, effect,
conclusion etc.
In the first sentence
transition word is “and” (“…bespoke repression and even a certain strength”) which
belongs to the category of agreement transition words (alongside again, then,
also…)
In the second sentence
transition word is “but” (“But now there was a dull stare in her eyes…”) which
belongs to the category of opposition (alongside still, unlike, yet, while…),
whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky.

the transition phrase “but rather” (“…but rather indicated a suspension of
intelligent thought”), in category of opposition.</span>

<span>Proverb “Feeding a cow with roses does not give
extra appreciation” means that you shouldn’t waste your effort and time on
people who can’t grasp the meaning and effort of your action to appreciate it
enough. In short, we could say that it means that you shouldn’t waste your time
on someone who doesn’t deserve it. Similar proverb can be “Casting pearl before
swine” which originated in Bible (Matthew 7:6, Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount).</span>
