Answer the following questions based on the excerpt in at least 2 complete sentences with evidence.
Which example/quote foreshadows an event in the story?
How does the author create dramatic irony?
Excerpt from page 6 of Unit 7 Lesson 1 Anne of Green Gables:
One example that foreshadows an event in the story is when Anne talks about how she dreams of having a "bosom friend" to share her thoughts and feelings with. This foreshadows the arrival of Diana Barry, who becomes Anne's close friend and confidante later in the story.
The author creates dramatic irony by having Marilla mistakenly believe that Anne is a boy when she first arrives at Green Gables. This is dramatic irony because the readers know that Anne is actually a girl, but Marilla does not realize this until she sees Anne's clothes and hair. This creates a humorous and suspenseful moment in the story.
