Which sentence from the excerpt is foreshadowing and
why?
Read the excerpt from "The Scarlet Ibis."
1 It's strange that all this is still so clear to me, now
that the summer has long since fled and time has had
its way. 2 A grindstone stands where the bleeding tree
stood, just outside the kitchen door, and now if an
oriole sings in the elm, its song seems to die up in the
leaves, a silvery dust. 3 The flower garden is prim, the
house a gleaming white, and the pale fence across the
yard stands straight and spruce. 4 But sometimes like
right now), as I sit in the cool, green-draped parlor, the
grindstone begins to turn, and time with all its changes
is ground away--and I remember Doodle.
Sentence 1 because it foreshadows that something
tragic happened to the narrator in the distant past.
Sentence 2 because it foreshadows that the story is
primarily about some type of bird.
Sentence 3 because it foreshadows that something
significant happened in either the house or flower
garden.
Sentence 4 because it foreshadows that Doodle is
no longer present in the narrator's life.
