TWO literary elements heavily used in "THE VELDT" when the father's wallet is found in the veldt near bones and hungry lions. Explain how BOTH of the literary elements are used.
What are foreshadowing and conflict. Foreshadowing is the use of hints and clues to suggest what is to come in the future. The placement of the wallet in the veldt foreshadows the parent's death. This creates a CONFLICT because the children become the antagonists against their parents. THis is ironic because the nursery was created by the parents for their children and now it is a force used to destroy the parents.
