FLASHBACK/FORESHADOW

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: THE SET OF UNDERLINED WORDS REPRESENT AN EXAMPLE OF FORESHADOWING. HER MOTHER IS WARNING HER ABOUT THE

WOLF, WHICH PROVIDES A CLUE OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN LATER.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived with her mother. Her

mother asked her to take her old and lonely grandmother some food one day."Don't stop along the way. Go straight

to your Grandma's house and back. Don't talk to any strangers and watch

out for the wolf in the woods! Now get along!"

Foreshadowing

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

While she was walking through the woods, a wolf was walking past her. "I bet I could convince her to take the

long way. Then I could get to her grandmother's house first and trick

her into thinking that I was her grandma. That way I could have her

and her grandma for a large feast,” he thought.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: UNDERLINED WORDS ARE AN EXAMPLE OF FLASHBACK

The wolf went up to Little Red Riding Hood and told

her that he knew a shortcut. Little Red Riding Hood

thought back to what her mother told her. “Don’t talk to any strangers and watch

out for the wolf in the woods!” But it was too late, she had already listened to

the wolf’s directions.

Flashback
