ESL - Literary Devices: Foreshadowing and Flashback

The video tutorial by Mr. P covers two literary devices: foreshadowing and flashback. Foreshadowing hints at future events in a story, creating suspense and anticipation. Examples from 'The Giver' and 'Romeo and Juliet' illustrate its use. Flashbacks interrupt the narrative to provide background or context, enhancing character motivation and tension. The tutorial explains their functions and provides examples to deepen understanding.
