The following question refers to “Plot and Setting.” This is an example of flashback: A character in a story is unaware that there is a full moon in the distance. However, the reader is made aware of this within the story. Later, the character stumbles upon one bad luck situation after another. The reader then realizes that the introduction of the full moon has clued him/her in on this unfortunate luck. True False

False.
This is an example of foreshadowing (indicating a future event to the audience) or even a limited example of dramatic irony (the audience is aware of an event or circumstance that the character is not and watches the character attempt to figure it out for entertainment value)
