Foreshadowing

[|See images of **foreshadowing**] (what???) //** e.g. //Melissa's astounding GPAs throughout her high school years at ISB foreshadowed her later world domination.// || Foreshadowing is, at its core, a sneaky way for authors to hint at the future – generally without the reader ever noticing. Then, when a reader goes back to reread, they’ll pick up on these clues. **

 * EXAMPLES FROM __//HEAT AND DUST://__**

(pg. 18-19) //“[The Nawab] had made up a special concoction consisting of gin, vodka, and cherry brandy, which he also invited Olivia to taste (it was too strong for her).”// Foreshadows how, in the future, the Nawab’s lifestyle is “too strong” for Olivia. Although the Nawab offers this life to Olivia, and she does taste it, she ultimately decides that it is too much for her (getting an abortion, living mostly without him in one of his houses).

(pg. 76) //“[Douglas] and the Nawab were both standing. They were the same height and almost the same build. Olivia and Harry, seated on sofas, looked up at them.”// As Douglas and the Nawab are described so similarly, foreshadows how, as the Nawab takes control of Harry almost entirely, Douglas is starting to take control of Olivia (how he keeps telling her that it’s the heat that is bothering her, etc.).
