Practice Identifying Foreshadowing

• “The Scarlet Ibis”– Doodle’s frightened reaction to his coffin, as

well as to being left alone by his brother, which repeats itself in the ending scene.

– The mention that William Armstrong, Doodle’s real name, is fit only for a tombstone, and this is where it ultimately ends up.

– Nature: Nest rocking in tree like an empty cradle, bleeding tree, graveyard flowers

– Aunt Nicey’s comments that a dead red bird is a sign of bad luck
