Flashback and Foreshadowing • Brain Drain: • What is flashback?” What is “foreshadowing?” How do you tell the difference between the two? Why would an author use either one of these in a story?
Foreshadowing • Foreshadowing is a literary device in which an author drops subtle hints about plot developments to come later in the story. It’s like a memory that gives background information. • The Wizard of Oz: http://www.wat.tv/video/judy-garland-the-cyclone-scene-3e6wp_31wod_.html
What is Foreshadowing? • Writers use a variety of techniques to give the reader/watcher hints as to what is to come: • Movies and TV Shows: music • Stories: words that give away emotions (anxious, nervous, excited, etc…) • Be on the look out for subtle hints of foreshadowing.
Little Red Riding Hood • 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 getalong!" Foreshadowing
Foreshadowing Example: • I looked at the speedometer… Paul was driving even faster. "Please slow down," I said. "We're coming to a really bad curve in the road!" But he didn't slow down and the snow was drifting higher and higher. I could hardly see the road!
What is a FLASHBACK? • Flashback is an interruption in the present action of a story to tell about something that happened in the past—a jump back in time. Example: The Titanic Flashback: • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXcafEJI4Nc
Flashback Example Example: I couldn’t believe I had been tricked! All of a sudden I remembered back to a summer long ago when My brother and I had gone to stay with our grandparents in the country .
Little Red Riding Hood • 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.
