Foreshadowing Adding to the Story
Foreshadowing adds to the overall story because it gives a hint as to what will happen throughout the book. Some say it prepares the reader for the ending or allows them to anticipate exciting events. It also adds suspense and dramatic tension to interest the readers. Foreshadowing sets the stage for important events by pointing out certain areas in the novel. For example: Roger throwing coconuts at Henry doesn't seem much, but it leads to the point where Roger uses a rock to kill Piggy.
