The Landlady - Foreshadowing, period 6 (please include your first & last name) by Leslie Hefler https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w Share one example of foreshadowing from The Landlady. en-us 2018-08-23 16:36:16 UTC 2019-09-12 20:45:45 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/190664487/226de0a4c8b748dffb635e921d6fea2d/download.jpg Kadence Hsieh khsie24_3 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/379714527 Foreshadowing makes several appearances during the story, notably including a remark of Billy's on page 4, when he realizes that one of the two young men in the sign-in book was in the newspaper because something had happened, "all of a sudden." This alludes to the ending, when the lady reveals those boys were the only ones to come into her house in three years where it is implied they disappeared making front page stories, and Billy is the next victim as he drinks her tea that most likely was laced with poison.]]> 2019-09-04 01:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/379714527 Bryan Aleman balem24_1 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380582615 Foreshadowing appears in the story many times in the story like how the landlady said that she said that she was picky with the people that she let in. Another example of foreshadowing is how "her blue eyes traveled slowly all the way down the length of Billy's body, to his feet, and back up again."(lines 96-98)  She also said the she had stuffed the dead animals in the room. When Billy went to sign his name on the paper, he say two names that he had recognized. He talked to the landlady about them and she said that "They were tall and young and handsome, my dear, just like you."(lines 311-314) She also said that they had never left and that they were in the third floor together. They kept talking and the landlady said that "Mr Temple... There wasn't a blemish on his body."(lines 429, 433-434) "His skin was just like a baby's." (line 436) She ended with asking him if he had signed the book in case she forgot his name, as if he was going to be there for a long time. With all that, I can assume that Christopher Mulholland and Gregory W. Temple were both killed and stuffed by the land lady with her skills in stuffing and that Billy Weaver will probably be her next victim.]]> 2019-09-05 18:09:42 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380582615 Foreshadowing is in the story many times like how the landlady had many requirements one who she lets stay in her hotel. Also another appearance of fore shadowing in the story was when billy looked at the sign in book and saw the names of the people and he felt that hes seen the names before. He actually seen them in the in the paper and the headline was probably about how they went missing. zvill24 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380632944 2019-09-05 19:46:50 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380632944 Mercy Vasu mvasu24 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380636981 Foreshadowing is used in this story quite a number of times. An example of foreshadowing in this story would be how the landlady really liked Billy, mainly for his appearance and age and said how she was picky with the people she let to stay. She also claimed that her two other guests in the past few years were nice young men like Billy and that they hadn't left the hotel even though they had entered years ago when Billy noticed her sign-in book. Furthermore, what makes this even more ominous is that Billy found the names of her guests familiar, and eventually realizes that they were both in the newspapers. I assumed that they were missing as Billy said that he recalled that one of the young men had something happened to him all of a sudden as the landlady kept talking when he tried to remember. This is highly suspicious as the landlady also said that she had stuffed and preserved her beloved pets which were also appealing to Billy as it gave him a good impression on her home. She probably did the same to the two missing young men and was planning to do the same to Billy.]]> 2019-09-05 19:55:25 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380636981 Nabhanya Sarabu nsara24 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380640118  The text states,
 "...the moon was coming up out of a clear starry sky over the houses opposite the station entrance.  But the air was deadly cold and the wind was like a flat blade of ice on his cheeks" (Lines 5-9).  
The night symbolizes the landlady.  Her actions are at first perceived as pleasant, like the moonlit sky.  However, she drops sinister hints of darker intentions, similar to how the cold air betrays that it is detrimental to your health to be outside.

One example of foreshadowing from the story is when the landlady looked Billy up and down ( " her blue eyes traveled slowly all the way down the length of Billy's body, to his feet, and back up again. " ). This foreshadows that she is thinking of doing something bad. Another example of foreshadowing in this story is when Billy said he almost recognized the names in the book. I also think it was unpleasing when she said something about how the 2 guests from years ago were still in the hotel ( on the 3rd floor ). I believe that the landlady stuffed the men from the past and now she is choosing Billy. Earlier in the story she also said how she is picky with her guests. Billy also knew that the dog was stuffed and this is when I started thinking about the other guests. Oh right, from earlier, when I said how Billy said he almost recognized the names, I think he recognized them from a magazine, probably about them being dead or missing. ]]> 2019-09-05 20:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380640795 Samuel Linchangco slinc24_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380642952 An example of foreshadowing that can be seen in the story is when Billy Weaver said
"Now, the fact that this landlady appeared slightly off her rocker didn't worry Billy in the least."
I interpret this to show that Billy trusts this woman enough to see one of her strange things and not be scared off. I figured there might have been something strange to happen later in the story after the mention of the landlady being 
"... slightly off her rocker..." 
Later in the story, the landlady reveals that the pets/animals that Weaver had seen actually weren't alive and were stuffed. It didn't seem to scare Billy at all. He only seemed surprised. I would think that other people might be scared to see what else is there if that's the first thing they find out about the place, but Weaver had already been warmly welcomed by this strange landlady, so he trusted her.]]> 2019-09-05 20:11:42 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380642952 Julissa Carrillo jcarr243_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380643131 One example of foreshadowing in the story is when the landlady said she did her own taxidermy for her pets, and then says that her guests that were supposed to have left years ago were still in the hotel, such as the pets that are dead and supposed to be buried are still in the hotel.]]> 2019-09-05 20:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380643131 Makai Johnson mjohn24_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380644096 Some examples of foreshadowing in this story  is closer to the end of the story, when Bill discovers that the animals were stuffed, and weren't alive. Shortly before this discovery,  Bill notices that the Landlady smell like a hospital, or new leather. Suggesting even more that the Landlady has worked with embalming materials before.  She then talks about her previous guests as if they were  objects that were to be priced based on their condition. Talking about how Mr. Temple had not a blemish on his body. Before in the story she says that  she is particular about who she invites into her establishment. She probably has particular requirements for her victims. ]]> 2019-09-05 20:14:28 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380644096 Samantha Wallace swall24_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380644936 The land lady offers many examples of foreshadowing, my favorite example is simply the overarching plot which frankly is filled with foreshadowing. Near the beginning, Billy comments on how the Lady may be a bit off, stating she was slightly off her rocker. We also hear her say that not many people stay at the home, that only a few select people can stay, the ones that in her eyes, are perfect. Billy also comments on the two boys' names, saying that they were familiar, like he heard of them in the newspaper. He was describing what had happened to one of them when he was cut off by the land lady, not allowing him to finish, possibly to not let him figure out what happened to them so he wouldn't leave. This also is accompanied by the two men staying in the same room, along with the animals being dead, and subsequently stuffed. All of this allows us to infer that she may have killed the two of them, and stuffed them, especially since she was so descriptive on their features.]]> 2019-09-05 20:17:02 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380644936 Keith Fructuoso kfruc24_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380645794 The landlady on page 180 says ¨Oh I am, my dear, I am, of course I am. But the trouble is that I´m inclined to be just a teeny weeny bit choosy and particular--If you see what I mean.¨ To me this means that she is foreshadowing that when she chooses her victims, she does not just pick off anyone that walks through her inviting front doors. She looks em up and makes sure that they are, evidence of this is on the page right before 200 and it says that she looks him down all the way to his feet. ]]> 2019-09-05 20:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380645794 Kobe Casas kcasa24_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380646817 An example of foreshadowing in the Land Lady was on page 160 indent 6 line 1, Billy says to himself "The old girl is slightly dotty"(which means strange). We find out later in the book that the old lady ends up to be a strange person just as Billy suspected.]]> 2019-09-05 20:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380646817 Vanessa Martinez vmart24 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380646959 There were quite a few examples of foreshadowing in this story.  In the beginning of the story, Billy thinks that the Landlady seems a bit odd.  "The old girl is slightly dotty, Billy told himself."  
Another example is when Billy signed his name, he read the other two names in the book.  He says that they look familiar, and when he starts saying how he remembers the names from the paper, but when he starts talking about how he remembered both names from the newspaper.  I believe that both men went missing, and as soon as Billy starts talking, the Landlady started talking and interrupting him.  I can infer from this that the Landlady is a killer.]]> 2019-09-05 20:23:40 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380646959 Melissa Reepolrujee mreep24_1_1 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380650641 There are actually many examples of foreshadowing in this story, but the [possible] foreshadowing that I noticed first before looking over the story again towards the end. Which was when it was mentioned that Billy had tasted a "bitter almond" flavor in his tea, which he didn't care for. Why was that mentioned? That comment would've been unnecessary if it held no meaning. Along with that, before Billy drank the tea, the Landlady seemed very persistent when it came to him drinking the tea. If it were any "regular" tea why was she so determined to get Billy to have it? What is she trying to do?
This is not necessarily foreshadowing but if you put a few pieces together, such as Billy mentioning the two men on the sign up book. the Landlady stuffing her deceased pets/animals, to the leathery scent in the air and the Landlady's odd behavior, you'd think something bad was bound to happen to him, even though the story kind of ended on a cliff hanger.]]> 2019-09-05 20:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380650641 Kayla Owens https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380653513 An example of foreshadowing that was used in The land lady was when Billy said he tasted a " bitter almond" Why did billy mention that all of a sudden? There was really no point of Billy mentioning that billy tasted a "bitter almond taste" . Before Billy mentioned this The lady lady was desperate to get Billy to drink the tea. Why was the land lady so determine to make Billy drink the tea?]]> 2019-09-05 20:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380653513 Leslie Sanchez-Farias lsanc241_1 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380654163 A big contributor to the story and how it was written is foreshadowing. Throughout the story, there are multiple instances where foreshadowing was used. For example, the landlady seemed a bit obsessive over Billy, just as if he was her son. Normally, this would appear normal, but it does foreshadow how the landlady is crazy and expects only certain people.]]> 2019-09-05 20:44:45 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380654163 Myla Barrios mbarr241_1 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380654280 Foreshadowing is used a lot in the story "The Landlady". One of the many examples of foreshadowing is when the landlady talks about the two other people that were staying at that place before Billy. She said that the two boys stayed there 3 to 2 years ago and claimed that they still stayed there just on the third floor. When she talked about them to Billy, she talked as if they weren't there anymore. She used words like had and was as if they weren't there anymore. ]]> 2019-09-05 20:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380654280 Aiden Kim https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380654309 An example of foreshadowing is when Mr. Weaver noticed that the names in the hotel log sounded familiar and that he remembered those names from the headlines of newspapers. This hints that something is wrong with the Inn he is staying in and that he should probably get out as soon as possible. ]]> 2019-09-05 20:45:16 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380654309 Adriana Campbell acamp242 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380655244 I didn't really pick up much foreshadowing in this story, but I mean I don't pick up a lot of foreshadowing when I read anyways, but one example of [possible] foreshadowing is in the beginning of the story when the narrator is introducing the setting and they say,

"...the moon was coming up out of a clear starry sky over the houses opposite the station entrance. But the air was deadly cold and the wind was like a flat blade of ice on his cheeks."

I believe that this little description of the beautiful yet unpleasant setting is a heads up on what the bed and breakfast and landlady are gonna be like. At first the bed and breakfast just looks like a nice little place to stay, warm and inviting, and at first the landlady seems like that too. But, pretty soon we learn that she is very creepy and the opposite of inviting.]]> 2019-09-05 20:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380655244 Xavier Fernando xfern24_3 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380656673 Foreshadowing is the ability to predict the ending of the story or the events that will happen throughout the story using context clues. Throughout the Landlady, there are many examples of foreshadowing. One example of foreshadowing is when Billy rang the doorbell and instantly, the landlady opened the door. In the story, it states, "Normally you ring the bell, you have at least a half-minute's wait before the door opens. But this dame was like a jack in the box." This is foreshadowing because it helps you realize there was something suspicious about this lady. She certainly wasn't normal. Foreshadowing is important in a story because it causes suspense and can also lead to a plot twist. For example, if a character met this super nice person who acted like the characters best friend or something, you would draw the conclusion that they would be best friends. Instead, a writer could make the character a total baddie who betrays the main character. Foreshadowing is a very useful plot element.]]> 2019-09-05 20:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380656673 Mia Obregon mobre24_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380661588 Foreshadowing is the ability to predict whats going to happen in the story using context clues. One examples of foreshadowing in "The Landlady" is when billy looked through the book that contains the names of the people that have visited/ stayed. Seeing that there were two people who have stayed before him and feeling as if he recognized their names. Later on in the story he realized that he had seen both of those names on a heading of a newspaper. ]]> 2019-09-05 21:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/380661588 Brooklyn Morgan bmorg24_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/381116618 foreshadowing is the ability to predict what will happen in the story using various context clues.  one example of foreshadowing is when the air smelled like pickled walnuts this foreshadows that she might try to poison him.]]> 2019-09-06 20:55:30 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/381116618 Celine Garcia cgarc242_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/381360943 An example of foreshadowing in the story is when Billy is looking at the list of people who have stated at the hotel (there were only two names).

An example of foreshadowing, in the story The Landlady, is when Billy signed the book that contains signatures form people who previously lived there and he had recognized the names from before  and started to question the lady about them. When he realized that those names had been in the headlines of newspapers, known for being missing. As he tried to explain the names he recognized she kept cutting him off as if she didn't want him to talk about them for some reason. Her reacting and her mysterious behavior indicates that she has done something. I can infer form these events that she has the two other men held hostage or she had already murdered them. ]]> 2019-09-09 15:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/381663694 Kaylynn Carrillo kcarr24_5 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/381663950 There are a couple of examples of foreshadowing in this story. One of them is when Billy thought that the "old lady is slightly dotty."(weird)
Another example of this is that Billy signed his name and he realized that he recognized the other two names in the sign up sheet. He thought that the names were in the newspaper for being missing. After when he was trying to explain his thoughts to the landlady, the landlady kept on cutting him off. I can infer that the landlady is a murderer.]]> 2019-09-09 15:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/381663950 Rowen Lin rlin24_7 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/381860045 Foreshadowing is indication of what happens later on in the story.

An example is when Billy signed the book, he noticed 2 other people who signed it. He recognized the names and started to question them. When the landlady came back, he started to ask her. Everytime, he brought the subject up, the landlady would interrupt him with a different subject. Whenever she did talk about them, she used past tense words like was. An example is," Mr. Mulholland was a great one for his tea," she said at length. ]]> 2019-09-09 20:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/381860346 Joaquin Villalobos jvill241_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/381863741 An example of forehadowing in the story is when Billy read the notice he felt like he was froced to wal up to the door and press the bell.

One foreshadowing example IS when Billy signed his name, and recognized two other names that he thought he remembered off of the newspaper missing list. When he was trying to explain his wonders to the landlady, she kept cutting him off, as if she was hiding something. From her reaction, it made the landlady seem like a suspect for murdering those other two people. ]]> 2019-09-09 20:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/381863858 Kapua Kahele kkahe24_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/381868555 There are many examples of foreshadowing used in the story, Landlady. For example, when Billy read the names on the list that showed who had stayed at the hotel, he only saw two. The names were Christopher Mulholland and Gregory Temple, he said that he had heard those names before. Later in the story we learn that this is an example of foreshadowing because those names were in the headlines of the newspapers.]]> 2019-09-09 20:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/381868555 Foreshadowing gquin24_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/381918722 Foreshadowing is when the writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. In the story it says "Billy decided that he would walk and take a look at The Bell and Dragon before making his mind. He turned to go. And now a queer thing happened to him. He was in the act of stepping back and turning away from the window when all at once his eye was caught and held in the most peculiar manner by the small notice that was there. BED AND BREAKFAST, it said BED AND BREAKFAST, BED AND BREAKFAST, BED AND BREAKFAST.

One example of foreshadowing is when he was signing his name in the book because the landlady to him to. He noticed that two other names that were on the book and they sounded. Their names were Christopher Mulholland and Gregory Temple, he knew those names were familiar because he saw those names in the newspaper missing list. He was trying to tell the landlady about them and she kept interrupting him as if she was hiding something. It seemed that she was hiding something about them, she could be the murderer. ]]> 2019-09-10 04:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/381962300 Catherine Vargas cvarg24_1_1 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/382413279 Foreshadowing played an important role in the story and made several apperances. For example, when Billy first meets the landlady, she tells him that she is very picky with who she decideds to let into the boarding house. She says to Billy that it is a pleasure when every now and then she opens the door to the boarding house and sees someone standing there who is "exactly right". She implies that the type of people that she lets into the boarding house are usually like Billy, who she describes as tall, young, charming and handsome. You can tell that something eerie is going on already. Another example of foreshadowing in this story is when Billy is told to write his name in the sign-in book and realizes that the only two other visitors that had come into the boarding house had familiar sounding names. Billy believed that the names written in the sign-in book had been mentioned before in the newspaper: for going missing. When he tries bringing it up with the Landlady, she cuts him off and starts talking about her pets, which she stuffed when they passed away. All of these foreshadowing details indicate that the landlady has sinister intentions.]]> 2019-09-10 20:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/382413279 Julia Harper jharp24 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/382467479 Foreshadowing was used multiple times in the story. However, I thought the most eye-opening hint in the story was towards the beginning, when the old lady opens the door as soon as Billy rings the bell. "...-it must have been at once because he hadn't even had time to take his finger from the bell button-..." It infers that the landlady was waiting for Billy to show up, almost as if she was targeting him. This leads to other theories during the story, like when she talks about how picky she is with her guests.]]> 2019-09-11 00:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/382467479 Brooklyn Cornell- Norman bcorn24_2 https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/383014651 A example of foreshadowing in The Landlady was line 139-148. This foreshadows that the Landlady had picked Billy Weaver for a specific purpose for a later event in the story to occur. ...-“Oh, I am, my dear, I am, of course I am.
But the trouble is that I'm inclined to be just a
teeny weeny bit choosy and particular – if you
see what I mean.”
“Ah, yes.”
“But I’m always ready. Everything is always
ready day and night in this house just on the
off-chance that an acceptable young
gentleman will come along.
And it is such a
pleasure, my dear, such a very great
pleasure when now and again I open the
door and I see someone standing there who
is just exactly right.” ]]> 2019-09-11 23:50:51 UTC https://padlet.com/leslie_hefler/cyo3j00qqm0w/wish/383014651
