foreshadowing

Sehoon Joo IB English HL  Ms. Carlson 9/13/08 __1. Define your term: __ An incident or part of a story that indicates or suggests what will happen later on in the book.  __2. Examples from //Heat and Dust// __ 1. “One of the old ladies had a story to tell of a young woman who” (67) got pregnant at the shrine. Although many stories that were told that day, Jhabvala decides to specify this particular story with the narrator present. The introduction of this story in detail foreshadows not only the narrator’s, but Olivia’s pregnancy at the shrine.  2. As the narrator comes to understand and even merge into Indian culture, she is able to envision the “snowy mountains [Maji] had mentioned” and as she sits there imagining the beautiful destination of pilgrims, she admits that “sitting…in the dust storm under the yellow sky, [she] too would have liked to be up there.” (84). How she declares that she would like to be at the final destination of pilgrims foreshadows that at the end of her journey to discover India and Olivia, the narrator would be at this snowy mountain as her final stop in her own pilgrimage.  __3.
