This event foreshadows that after Mr. White makes his wish with the monkey's paw something terrible will happen. In the story Mr. White wishes for 200 pounds and then his son dies. Another example of foreshadowing was in the beginning of the story, in the chess game Mr. White makes a fatal mistake and his son wins the chess game. This event foreshadows when Mr. White makes a bad decision by wishing for 200 pounds and then something catastrophic results from his actions.

W.W.Jacobs uses three examples of foreshadowing that supports the theme in the story. An example W.W.Jacobs uses is “the first man had three wishes...i don't know what the first two were but the third was for death”.

neither the melody nor lyrics, but rather the buildup that foreshadows both. For example, the song “Blue Da Ba Dee” by Eiffel 65 uses electronic percussion that slowly increases in volume to foreshadow either the piano melody or the vocals.

Stories may appear to be simple if not closely examined for symbols that add foreshadowing and additional meaning. The short stories "The Paring Knife" and "Cranes" show how symbolism can be used to foreshadow and add more meaning to stories. "The Paring Knife", a short story written by Michael Oppenheimer in 1982, follows the discovery of an old paring knife that a couple lost after an argument. "Cranes", a short story written by Peter Meinke in 1987, discusses a married couple out on a marsh watching
about a man looking back on his childhood and his experience with his little brother, Doodle. The author uses simile to foreshadow the ending of the story and to show the theme. One of the first examples of is when the protagonist’s parents decide on a name for their child, “They named him William Armstrong, which was like tying a big tail on a small kite,” (Hurst) The simile foreshadows the ending because it is exactly what happens in the ending. After the protagonist teaches his brother how to walk

The picture foreshadows into what is going to happen in chapter two because Jacob walked for several hours after he identified his parent’s bodies. Realizing that he was lost and it was now late
the author’s life or environment. In this essay I will be comparing the authors, who used imagery to foreshadow their way of life and future occurring events. In Anne Sexton, The Starry Night, and in Jane Flanders, Van Gogh’s Bed, both poems used many poetic elements. Such as simile, repetition and mood. Also given the background of the authors, it’s no wonder that the mood of the poem foreshadows what will happen. The first poetic element I want to focus on is repetition because in both poems each
“Unable to Work” by David Olere foreshadows the effects of the concentration camps through the representation of death, the scarcity of food and belongings, and the intimidating closeness of SS officers with their heavy weaponry. In the painting, hovering above the six family members is a white figure, much like a corpse, with its hands grabbing the grandmother and the other woman.
