Read the excerpt from “The Scarlet Ibis.” The knowledge that Doodle’s and my plans had come to naught was bitter, and that streak of cruelty within me awakened. I ran as fast as I could, leaving him far behind with a wall of rain dividing us. The drops stung my face like nettles, and the wind flared the wet glistening leaves of the bordering trees. Soon I could hear his voice no more.

What best describes the purpose of the foreshadowing present in the narrator’s words, “Soon I could hear his voice no more”?

It adds interest as the reader questions what kind of storm could be loud enough to drown out all other sound.
It creates suspense as the reader wonders why the narrator can no longer hear Doodle’s voice.
It allows the reader to better visualize what life for the narrator will be like if Doodle is no longer in it.
It helps the reader predict what the narrator will say to his parents when he arrives home without Doodle.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

next normal paragraph continues here…
