There was one time in my life not so long ago that i had a pretty bad fail. I went into math to write a test that needed a calculator, and forgot the calculator. Not sure how foreshadowing works in real life, but i can think of previous incidents that i warned of such incident to come. first was the continual forget fullness of stationary that i had earlier due to a little bit of early school stress. also i had in some cases forgotten my calculator not long before that day, but did not need them for that day. and the biggest was my ego. i was so sure of my knowledge and intelligence and knew how to do all the work, but not without a calculator. so it was quite humbling to forget something as menial as that.
The author W. D. Wetherell put in many cases foreshadowing such event of failure. one such statement was "I think fishing is dumb" (38 Wetherell). That case is a profound statement in the foreshadow of failure, since the protagonist loved fishing so much. as said by the protagonist "when I wasn't doing doing any of things, I was fishing the river for bass" (37 Wetherell) which indicates fishing is is main pastime. also it's apparent that her mind is on other boys "Eric Caswell's going to be there, he strokes number four"(ibid) saying she's actually interested in a guy on the rowing team. all this just lead to the final blow where the river escapade ends in fail.
