foreshadow

When an author foreshadows, he is hinting to something that may come later in the story.  Why would he or she do this?

  2. He/She may do this to add a plot twist ahead. Like, the author might want you to start thinking something is going to happen and then they might have something completely different happen in the story.

  3. For me when I'm writing, (Or trying to write) I find it exciting personally to hint with little details what may happen in the future. Maybe the author does it because they like the thought of people reading their little hints. Other than that, I can't think of an actual reason.

  5. the author would do this because it might show a lot of information that might happen so when that time comes we know.

  6. the point of foreshadowing is to keep you guessing to make the story interesting. it is just to add something to make it suspenseful

  7. so you can stay tuned to the next chapter or book for example in every episode of a season they always put a clift hanger at the end so you would wanna know whats next

  8. The author may foreshadow to make a strong intro into a book, movie, tv show, or something similar as a method to keep the viewer watching to wait for what happens and to see what caused it making the viewer curious and anxious to see what happens before and after the hint
