A young woman is preparing for her day.
She brushes her hair . . .
. . . sprays on a little perfume . . .
. . . opens her drawer to get her scarf . . .
. . . closes her drawer . . .
. . . and leaves her home.
Wait a second.
Did you notice something unexpected?
Why is a gun in her drawer?
Why is it presented in this way, when it is not used at this moment?
You are given a clue about what will happen later.
This is called foreshadowing.
Foreshadowing happens when clues in a story hint at future events.
What about this situation?
Who is the man in the photograph?
What might the photograph be foreshadowing?
