Foreshadowing
Use of hints and clues to suggest what is going to happen. A writer can use foreshadowing to create suspense.
![Page 22: Short Story Unit- Terms to know. Setting Time and place Can create the conflict, atmosphere, mood of the story](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e925503460f94b983ab/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
ThemeThe insight about human life that is
revealed by the literature. Theme is not the same as the subject. Subject might be one word or a phrase like “growing up.” The theme is stated in at least one sentence or more. “For most young people, growing up is a process that involves the pain of achieving self-knowledge.”
![Page 23: Short Story Unit- Terms to know. Setting Time and place Can create the conflict, atmosphere, mood of the story](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e925503460f94b983ab/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Theme is not a moral
A moral tells how to behave or what to do. Theme is an observation.
Incorrect theme: The theme of “The Life You Save May Be Your Own” is that you shouldn’t hurt other people.
![Page 24: Short Story Unit- Terms to know. Setting Time and place Can create the conflict, atmosphere, mood of the story](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e925503460f94b983ab/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
A theme is not a bumper sticker statement or a cliché
Incorrect theme: The theme of “A Life You Save May Be Your Own” is that what comes around goes around.

Themes do not refer to the specific names or the events of the plot
Incorrect theme: The theme of “The Life You Save” is that Mr. Shiftlet is a con artist and will be punished

Wording to useAvoid shallow words like
“anyone” “all” “none” “everything” “everyone” “you”
Use terms that suggest a more realistic view of human experience like “we” “us” “society often” “people sometimes”
