What is an example of flashback in Fahrenheit 451?

Answer 1

One of the examples of foreshadowing is the mention of the heating vent at Montag's house. It is mentioned a few times early in the first segment, "The Hearth and the Salamander", and by the end of that segment, the reader finds out that Montag had books hidden there. The war planes flying overhead and the mention of war on the radio and among people is another example of foreshadowing. The war starts and ends by the final pages of the book but its increasingly frequent mention lets the reader know before getting to the end of the book that war will break out. The Mechanical Hound that is first mentioned barely two dozen pages into the story and is mentioned again in a suggestion that it is outside Montag's home lets the reader guess that this Hound will play an important role in trying to capture Montag. Bradbury uses foreshadowing often to give the reader hints about what is going to happen.
