In the story called, “The Monkey’s Paw,” the author, W.W Jacobs, uses foreshadowing to add suspense. When Mrs. White asks Sergeant Major if any one else made a wish he says, “Yes. I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death." The author also uses foreshadowing when Mrs. White jokes and says to wish for four arms Sergeant Major "with a look of alarm on his face," catches Mr. White's arm. 'If you must wish,' he said gruffly, 'wish for something sensible.'" Foreshadowing is also used when Sergeant Major is telling his feelings about the monkey’s paw. It states, “‘Pitch it on the fire again like a sensible man.’” Here he is warning Me. White of the consequences if he makes a wish. From this dialogue I readers can infer that something bad is going to happen.

Read the excerpt from The Common Sense of Bicycling: Bicycling for Ladies.
By straightening the knees and using the ankle movement freely, the rise of the knees may be lessened several inches. When the pedal is at the highest point, the toe should be raised and the heel lowered. . . . although the right pedal is at the highest point, the knee has made very little impression on the front skirt. The feet should be in line with the machine, turning neither in nor out. The knees must be kept pretty close to the machine and should not move laterally at any part of the circle. The arms should have a slight drop at the elbows. The handles should be about level with the saddle, but this will depend on relative length of arms and waist.
