  1. Flashback vs. Foreshadowing

  2. Flashback • Occurs when the author tells about an event that happened before the time of the story • Example: All of a sudden, Rory remember an incident from long ago. He had been walking in the woods with his older brother, who tried to scare him half to death with a story about a hooded monster. Rory had been so frightened then that he had cried uncontrollably.

  3. Foreshadowing • Suggesting beforehand what is going to happen later in the story • Example: Today, as he strolled along peacefully, Rory chuckled at that long-ago horror story. He had no way of guessing what was waiting now, just a few yards ahead. Right now, he was happy and relaxed.

  4. Your Turn: Is it flashback or foreshadowing? • Gloria lined up with the other runners. They were all flushed with determination and excitement-all except Gloria. Suddenly, it was last year again, and she was telling the coach that she had to drop out of the team because of her illness. Now she was well again. “Still,” she said to herself, “what am I doing here? I’ll never win. I haven’t practice enough!”

  5. How about this one?: The heavy coins made his pockets sag, so Alex quickly emptied them onto the table. He didn’t need them for the bus since his mom was driving him to school. Later, he’d be sorry he’d done that.
