II. Support and Quotes: Introduce the first example of foreshadowing from the story. Do not summarize plot. Then use a quote to demonstrate the example.

Then analyze why the quote/quotes help answer the question. When analyzing, do not say, “This quote means…”

Transition to your second example of foreshadowing and follow the same rules as above.

II. Concluding sentence: Close your paragraph with a statement about how effective Hurst’s use of foreshadowing is overall.
