Entry #3: Foreshadowing

The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien
I predict in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit that Mr.Baggings, Gandalf and their Dwarf companions will finally slay the dragon Smaug and get steal riches because of there combined skills. Bilbo found a ring that turns him invisible and is good at sneaking past guards, Gandalf is a wizard that can summon fire at a thought and shows up just in time to save the dwarfs and Bilbo. The dwarfs them self are very capable of many things. Thorin Oakenshield their leader is a strong fighter but sometimes relies on Gandalf and Bilbo’s skills to bail them out of trouble. I believe that these and some undiscovered talents and allies will help them achieve their goals.

Peaches by Jodi Lynn Anderson
There are three girls in Peaches, Birdie, Leeda, and Murphy. They're all very different but I think they will become best friends because their lives are connected. Murphy has a lot of boyfriends so she might get pregnant and when she gets sent to help out on Birdie's peach orchard, she will change for the better. Leeda always feels insecure so she might run away with her boyfriend. Also, Birdie meets a guy that she gets nervous about and Murphy thinks he's cute, so there could be a conflict over that.

The Westing Games by Ellen Raskin
I predict that in the Westing Games, Sydelle Pulaski will be the person who shouldn’t be in the apartments. I say this because in the story, Sydelle is described as someone that no one notices, that no one listens to, and that non one listens to and that no one cares about. On page 16, Sydelle says, “No one ever notices Sydelle Pulaski,” “but now they will. Now they will.” Those words give a feeling of hate, of revenge, of someone who is longing for recognition. It makes you feel like Sydelle wants revenge on the people who ignored her, and she wants to be noticed.

East by Edith Pattou
In the beginning of East by Edith Pattou, Rose is thought to be born east but is born north instead. A fortune teller tells Rose’s mother that her north born child will die from an avalanche of snow and ice. This might happen because Rose is careless and not caring about her health and never stays in the house, always going off somewhere; a sign of being north born by his mother. Rose’s adventurous behavior causes her to lust for the adventure to the very north of the world, where the whole landscape is made up of ice and snow.
