3. Mini Lesson: Foreshadowing
Foreshadowing is the author’s use of clues to hint at what might happen later in the story. Writers use foreshadowing to build their readers’ expectations and to create suspense. Clues can be based on dialogue, description, attitudes, and reactions of characters.

Pg. 50
Daniel says:
As for me, I had always believed in God, but at that point I didn’t know what to believe. What kind of God could allow such things to happen? I was angry. Angry at the world. I thought perhaps it was time for another flood—perhaps this was a species that didn’t deserve to exist. And then I met Rosa.
