my book is a biography so the forshowdowing is pretty obvious to see. the author comes right out and tells you what is going to happen in the future.

A Quiet Belief in Angels

R.J Ellory

This novel is one giant flashback with brief periods of the present, So the present foreshadows the past. In the present Joseph has killed a man cause he killed some one that meant a lot to him. This is a really obvious way of saying that Ellen was going to die. The way Ellen died was really surprising though! Another obvious foreshadowing was when Joseph found the money Ellen's father was giving his mother secretly. It was a sketchy situation, and you knew she was getting paid for something and you were pretty sure, but the author didn't come right out and say it until later. I think Joseph noticed the signs when he saw the money, but he was also really young so he wouldn't think about his mom having sexual relations for money.

I Am Number Four
Pittacus Lore
pg. 28

I am not very far, as I just started a new book, but I have seen at least one example of foreshadowing. In my book so far, there are a group of people from the planet Lorien who came to Earth to escape another group of alliens called Mogadorians who are trying to hunt him and 8 others. Each of the people from the planet Lorien are classified with numbers; the main character is Number Four. Number Four has moved several times to keep his identity a secret changing his name along the way. In this new place, his name is John Smith. At his new school he met a girl named Sarah Hart and she was not like any other girl he had met. When she touched him, he got a tingling feeling and he felt different around her and in her presence. So onto the foreshadowing part... As he went to his first class and started to enter the room, the reader could already tell that Sarah was in the room because John got that tingling feeling again. Sarah did end up having the same class as him, sitting 3 rows infront of him. This foreshadowing was obvious because of John's previous actions to seeing Sarah. These signs were for the reader and the character, John. He could feel this too. This makes it for an interesting start to the book.

The Screwtape Letters
C. S. Lewis
pg. 75
This book is kind of hard to find any foreshadowing. It is about a demon writing to his nephew, an apprentice demon. The uncle is trying to teach his nephew how to manipulate a human (the patient) into commiting sins and bringing them to Hell. Recently the patient converted to Christianity but has been laxing in his faith. I think eventually he will fall away from the Church because others will persuade him to. This isn't really obvious, it is just a guess. The reader doesn't know what will happen, but the Uncle is good at reading the humans actions and predicting what they will do. Another foreshadowing example would be that I don't think this particular patient will be sent to Hell. Once again this is just a guess (the author didn't leave many hints), but I think this because this book seems so dark and sad that there has to be a happy ending. I don't think any of the characters or the reader will see the signs until the end of the book.

Go Ask Alice. Anonymous.

While I was reading this book, the way this girl's (doesn't have a name, this was all in a diary, and wanted to keep any names out), life was going to lead to a horrible future. One incident was when her and another girl ran away to California. Of, course they came home and promised they would never do it again. But, that didn't last long, they ran away two other times. This girl also was messing around with drugs. At first, the drugs were not her fault, but then after it was. I knew this would all lead to huge, deadly unhappy ending. She was later placed in a mental hospital and a drug record that she would have carried around with her for the rest of her life. When, she got that first drink, the first time her and her friend ran away, I believe it all lead to her suicide. To her believing that life would not get better, in reality it was. She was getting her life back on track and then she was hallucinating. And, it took another innocent teens' life.
Yes, the foreshadowing was only for the reader and not for the character to know. She probably knew what she was doing, but really didn't care or was so addicted that she didn't really think about it.

Going Bovine

Libba Bray

pages 1-32

I'm barely into my book so far and already there has been some good foreshadowing. When we first meet the main character he talks about a near death experience he once had at disney land which became obvious to the reader that he will most likely be having more near death experiences to come shortly. Another good example was when the main character was at home all by himself partaking in some illegal substances when he saw a flash and followed it which led him to find a feather in his room with writing on it. He blamed it on the substance he had been using previously but to us it was a sign that a few very supernatural things would be happening.
