How does the author use foreshadowing to increase suspense in the first four paragraphs of the story? provide specific examples and explain their connection to the story’s outcome
Answer:
The author uses foreshadowing by having things going on in the beginning that do affect how the end plays. This includes when it says, “Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacriox–the villagers pronounced this name “Dellacroy”–eventually made a great pile of rocks in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of other boys.” This shows foreshadowing because those rocks are soon used to stone Tessie Hutchinson, but in the beginning the reader does not know that, though those rocks symbolize something other than kids normally playing.
