Answer and Explanation:

"Condensed Milk" is structured in a chronological event system where the narrator shows the events that happened within a progressive and constant timeline, in this way the author orders the events based on the passage of time, which goes from imprisonment to escape attempt.

In addition, the author makes a constant use of foreshadowing, as one of the main plot techniques. Foreshadowing is used to "announce" situations that will occur in the future of history. In the case of "Condensad Milk" foreshadowing occurs on the lines ‘Let’s go farther,’ said Shestakov./ ‘Don’t worry, it won’t kill us. Your socks will stay in one Piece! "Which foreshadows that men will have problems related to what they are doing.
