The introduction of the boy advances the plot of Daly's "Sixteen" by making the narrator feel hopeful. This was when the young male skater made the narrator feel joyful and hopeful for days. Although in the end, the narrator realized that he will never call her at all.
In my opinion, they do not only reveal what will happen, but also manipulate events. When Macbeth approached the witches, they could have concealed the truth from him and just let the events unfold, but they didn't do it. They told him about the prophecy, thus initiating the events that soon followed. If they hadn't told him the truth, Macbeth might have never killed Banquo, Duncan, and the rest in order to become king. So yes, they manipulated events and caused a great tragedy.

For readers who know the Pledge of Allegiance this may spark in them a sense of patriotism as they may then recite the entire pledge. The reader uses this allusion to further the point about patriotism as a routine taught in schools.
