When my group first chose the American justice system as the topic of our presentation, all of us had a
serious attitude. As we began brainstorming, however, it became increasingly clear that television courtroom
dramas were acting as fodder for just about every situation that we proposed. Kelly suggested that we act out a
trial focused on a lucrative lawsuit with millions of dollars at stake. Noah was inspired to describe an entire set
of untrustworthy and dissolute witnesses whose greedy motives could be exposed during an intense
cross-examination. By the time the jury, made up of a group of our classmates, adjourned to reach a decision,
they would certainly have seen plenty of colorful characters and heard many questionable statements.

Read the following passage: he roamed from chamber to chamber with hurried, unequal, and objectless step. the pallor of his countenance had assumed, if possible, a more ghastly hue— but the luminousness of his eye had utterly gone out. the once occasional huskiness of his tone was heard no more; and a tremulous quaver, as if of extreme terror, habitually characterized his utterance. there were times, indeed, when i thought his unceasingly agitated mind was laboring with some oppressive secret, to divulge which he struggled for the necessary courage. which of the above ideas might be considered foreshadowing? he is wandering all over the chamber his skin tone is really pale his voice is quivering the narrator thinks he is laboring with an oppressive secret
