First, when she tells her mother that an “angry thorn stabbed” her. This predicts the violence of the angry bandits who kill her father. Next, when she tells Abuelita who responds by telling her there is “no life without difficulties.” This suggests that hardship will fall on the family

“Nobody gets to heaven and nobody gets no lan’.” These bleak words are spoken by Crooks in Of Mice and Men, and they make it clear to the observant reader that something will stop Lennie, George and Candy from achieving their dream of owning a ranch.

In the book Of Mice and Men, foreshadowing is used as an enormous compromise through the story.

Both texts shared numerous figurative languages. The one that really caught my attention was the foreshadowing that was utilized. “The Story of an Hour” contained two foreshadowing that caught my attention. (“There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair.”) (P 653) (“The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves”) (P 653).

Joy does not usually result in death. The irony part is that they thought the joy was for finding out that her husband is alive which they were mistaken as mentioned above. In “The Yellow Wallpaper”, irony was utilized mostly when dealing with her husband. (“John laughs at me, ofcourse, but one
