The way that you look at the ghost can be derived by the way he is portrayed by actor and show concept.

But if he is taken in stead as a caring and or weak man who has come back to warn his son then he is good. It all depends on the outlook of the audience member really.

What is foreshadowing in the book Catching Fire?

The Lord of the Rings can be interpreted in many different ways. Tolkien meant for his readers to decide on the meaning of his allegory. For him, no one really knows what the trilogy meant to him, but my favorite theory is that, as a devout Catholic, Tolkien would have seen his book as symbolizing the destruction of the goodness of the world, symbolized by the Shire and the Free Peoples, by the devil, Sauron, who uses whatever he needs to attain his goal. He calls us to fight against secularism, like the good guys fought the temptation of the Ring and sought the downfall of Sauron.

What are some examples of foreshadowing in Catching Fire?

Well, foreshadowing is when you, as the reader, predict something to happen before you read it.

In the book, I foreshadowed Katniss taking Prim's place in The Hunger Games, but you may not have, but that's an example. Sorry this may not help, but good luck!

Does Harry Potter books have foreshadowing?

i would say that it does, but it depends if you are talking about the books or the movies. in the books, i would say it definetly does. for example, in the seventh book when harry must choose between talking with the wand maker alevander or the goblin, he chooses to talk with the goblin first. it is to discuss their mission to distroy the horcruxes. this foreshadows that the rest of the book will be focused on finding and getting rid of them, rather than worrying about the hallows.

in the movies, it might be a little harder to detect the foreshadowing, due to the reactions happening very quickly right after.
