11. Afterimage and Foreshadowing.

My personal favorites. On one hand, Afterimage is one that lingers in our kind after reading a book or a story. I remember my Professor in Fiction told us about the "chink" in the Story of Pyramus and Thisbe. If you read the story, you will know that that "chink" in the wall that separates them is where Pyramus and Thisbe whispered their sweet nothings to each other. That chink shows us that love can see even in the smallest detail. That after reading the story, what image that we remember is that "chink" on the wall. On the other hand, Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. Foreshadowing often appears at the beginning of a story, or a chapter, and helps the reader develop expectations about the coming events in a story. This will give readers realizations that the smallest detail that never cared about actually plays a big part in the story. Try reading the story "Flood in Tarlac". It has a lot of amazing foreshadowing.
