Foreshadowing isn’t always a big, dramatic statement. Sometimes just naming a future event is an example of foreshadowing. For example, Rafael is in class, listening to his science teacher talk about fossils. But his mind keeps wandering to the meeting he has later today with the principal. That might seem like a small or meaningless detail—but if the author took the time to mention the meeting, maybe more than once, you can bet that whatever happens in this meeting is going to be significant. This is especially true if a character feels apprehension, or fear, about the upcoming event. This type of foreshadowing creates anticipation for the future event and prepares the reader for what is to come. Which of the following passages is the best example of foreshadowing through anticipation?

A
When I reached into the box, I found a bunch of rubber snakes. I jumped back in shock—I’m scared of snakes!

B
Karl wasn’t sure if he liked the new girl, even after having lunch with her in the cafeteria. She seemed nice enough, but she didn’t like hip-hop.

C
As Jamie got ready for bed, all she could think about was her doctor’s appointment tomorrow. She was going to find out whether or not her illness had come back.

D
Luisa’s mom didn’t want her to go to the party. “I don’t want you to be out in a strange neighborhood, especially at night,” she said. Luisa was disappointed, but she knew in her heart that her mom was right.
