What is literary devices means in foreshadowing mean simple terms?

Foreshadowing is like a sneak peek into the future of a story. It's when the author gives you hints or clues about what's going to happen later on, without giving away the whole plot.

Think of it like this:

* Imagine you're watching a movie. A character keeps mentioning how they're afraid of heights. Later, you know they might be in a situation where they have to climb something high, and you're already on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen! That's foreshadowing.

Here's a simple breakdown:

* Author: "Drops hints about something important happening."

* Reader: "Notices the hints and starts to wonder what's going to happen."

* Later in the story: "The hinted-at thing actually happens, making the story more exciting!"

Foreshadowing is a clever way for authors to keep you guessing and invested in the story.
