The sound of thunder
Foreshadowing:
'We guarantee nothing'.The sound of thunder uses a great deal of foreshadowing brilliantly.
Foreshadowing is when something in the beginning of the story tells us what is going to happen later.
For example when the writer puts in the sign "TIME SAFARI, INC. SAFARIS TO ANY YEAR IN THE PAST. YOU NAME THE ANIMAL. WE TAKE YOU THERE.YOU SHOOT IT" this is foreshadowing because the sign comes up at the end again but then changes. The title 'The sound of thunder' tells us what happens at the end because that's the last secentence.'We guarantee nothing' is another example because it tells us something bad is going to happen.The sound of thunder uses foreshadowing, however the writer uses it well because he makes sure that it's not that noticeably. As the writer does not want to spoil the ending because otherwise there would be no point of reading further.
