PARAGRAPH ASSIGNMENT (at least 8 sentences): Using at least 2 quotes from the story, explain how the author (Hurst) uses foreshadowing to hint at the outcome of the story. Foreshadowing is the use of clues that hint at what will happen next in a story.

I can't do this assignment for you but I can give you some general ideas. James Hurst foreshadows much of the sttory in his details. Consider the tired and weary bird which lands on the tree in the yard . The bird might foreshadow Doodle's fate as well. At another point the author writes, "the last graveyard flowers were blooming, and their smell drifted [through] our house, speaking softly the names of our dead." This passage clearly foreshadows Doodle's death.
