Trying doors as he went, twirling his club with many intricate and artful movements, turning now and then to cast his watchful eye adown the pacific thoroughfare, the officer, with his stalwart form and slight swagger, made a fine picture of a guardian of the peace. which statement best explains how the author's use of foreshadowing affects the story? it provides important information about the setting, showing that this area is being well-protected by a keen policeman. it suggests that the man of the law who is keeping an eye on things with a "slight swagger" may not be as safe as he thinks. it sets the stage that a police officer will be betrayed in this story by the man described as a "stalwart form." it indicates that the police officer described takes his job seriously and suggests that he will do his duty no matter what.

d) the narrator even suggested that the white whale, moby d, was ubiquitous and present in every ocean at every moment.  

hmm, sadly there is no dialogue. there is no place in the story where he is talking to anyone. it's more of just describing what he eats and where he sleeps. you have to become anne frank, give details of where you are, what other folks look like, how the environment is. have a little bit of dialogue tell of what people are specifically saying. anne frank talked about her entire household including the people, the objects, the lighting, the food they ate, and even the smell in the air. there has to be more to your diary entries, the whole story in its current state is only about peter van daan, the food, the sounds, and where he sleeps. also he seems to be writing only once a year yet more than that happened from day to day. for a friend, i can you write it out, if you want.
