Never Let Me Go: 6

FORESHADOWING

"...and especially now Ruth has gone, it's become one of my most precious possessions." p. 76

Because this novel is almost all in flashbacks, there is a lot of foreshadowing throughout. This is a good example of one time the author throws it in there. It saddens me to read this because I know she means that Ruth is going to die. However, this is a good technique because it makes me want to keep reading. It creates suspense. It makes me think of how Ruth died and when she did. I find myself eager to turn each page because of the technique of foreshadowing because I need to know what happens.
