Craft Lesson 2: Daisy Kutter


Foreshadowing

Authors use foreshadowing like clues that allude to events that have yet to occur in a work of literature. Authors use foreshadowing in order to create suspense.

On page 89, is a good use of foreshadow. Bloom says in the third frame,” They're not even shooting at us.” Everyone appears to believe that they have won the shootout. Daisy says, “Congrats, Gentlemen, on making the easiest small fortune you’re ever bound to make.” Also, Tom then admits that he brought the gun. Then, “Tom, I need the gun.” Daisy says, “Something’s wrong open that case.”

These events lead up to the last robot on the train killing Bloom. See if you can locate another use of foreshadow in the book.
