Step-by-step solution for: Seatwork - Flashback and Foreshadowing - FORESHADOWING AND ...
Let's solve Activity I of the "Foreshadowing and Flashback Worksheet" step by step.
We are asked to identify whether each text uses foreshadowing or flashback. Here’s a quick definition to guide us:
- Foreshadowing: A literary device used to give an indication or hint of what is to come later in the story. It builds suspense or anticipation.
- Flashback: A narrative technique that takes the reader back in time to show events that happened before the current moment in the story.

1) At his confirmation, Mark's father gave him a wooden cross that had been hand-carved by his great-grandfather. He said that he always found comfort in the cross and hoped that Mark would too.
- This hints at future emotional significance or possibly a future event involving the cross (e.g., comfort during hardship).
✔ Foreshadowing
2) When the current setting is interrupted to go back in time to learn more about a character or a situation, it is called...
- This is a definition of flashback.
✔ Flashback
3) Although she thought the roller coaster ride would be fun, the sensation of being flipped through the air made Rosie relive the horrible car accident she had suffered eight years ago.
- She is remembering a past traumatic event while in the present.
✔ Flashback
4) The use of clues or hints to suggest something is going to happen in the future is called ....
- This is a definition of foreshadowing.
✔ Foreshadowing
5) Lightening streaked across the greenish-black sky yet, the air was oddly still. When the warning siren shrieked, the family knew that they should head for the storm cellar.
- The eerie calm and strange sky hint at an impending storm — a clue about danger to come.
✔ Foreshadowing
6) The smell of homemade chocolate chip cookies conjured up the image of Susan's grandmother standing in a flour-covered apron.
- The smell triggers a memory of the past.
✔ Flashback
7) After Jason accidentally bumped into Ace in the hallway between class periods, Ace flashed his switchblade and told him that paybacks are nasty.
- This suggests future conflict or violence may occur.
✔ Foreshadowing
8) All of a sudden, Rory remembered 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.
- The narrator goes back in time to recall a past event.
✔ Flashback
9) 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.
- The peaceful mood contrasts with the hint that something bad is coming ("what was waiting now").
✔ Foreshadowing
10) Your teacher says...Make sure you study your notes tonight!
- This is advice, not a narrative device. But if we interpret it as a hint that there will be a test tomorrow, it could be seen as foreshadowing.
✔ Foreshadowing (as it hints at future consequences)
11) 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.
- She remembers a past event (last year’s illness).
✔ Flashback
12) Now she was well again. "Still," she said to herself, "what am I doing here? I'll never win. I haven't practiced enough!" But miracles do happen. The question is, what kind of miracle would be best for Gloria?
- Her doubt and the mention of "miracles" suggest something unexpected might happen — a possible positive turn.
✔ Foreshadowing
13) A teenage girl leaves the house for an evening out with her friends. Her mother makes her promise to be back before midnight. The girl kisses her mother and tells her she worries too much. She'll be fine, she says.
- This sets up a possible dramatic event (e.g., something bad happening after midnight).
✔ Foreshadowing
14) When Ruth Jones's alarm clock woke her at seven o'clock that morning, she had no idea that today would be the longest day of her life.
- The statement hints that something significant (possibly stressful or tragic) will happen during the day.
✔ Foreshadowing
15) Fred left the house at eleven o'clock and drove into town. He was meeting his father for lunch at Brown's. Officially, they were just 'catching up', but they both knew Fred needed money again – and not such a small amount this time, either.
- The underlying tension suggests financial trouble or conflict is coming.
