questions in the story
1. definition for foreshadowing- foreshadowing is an advance sign or warning of what is to come in the future.
example in the story
for example in the story "he had stayed a couple of nights in a pub before and he had quite like it.He had never stayed in any boardinghouses and to be perfectly honest he as a tiny bit frightened of them. The name of itself conjured images of watery cabbage, rapacious landladies and a powerful smell of kippers in in the living room.
2. Foreshadowing is what the author puts into the work, the hints about what is going to happen. Inference would be the way the reader interprets these hints, when the reader sees ideas in the work that are not expressed directly by the author. Inferences should be based on evidence that is found in the text, however.
example- i infer that when the landlady was giving tea she was also trying to distract billy from remembering the two names which were in the registration book.
3.
congenial- on the other hand a pub would be more congenial than a boardinghouse.
rapacious-The name of itself conjured images of watery cabbage, rapacious landladies and a powerful smell of kippers in in the living room.
dither-after dithering about like this in the cold for two minutes or three minutes.
compulsion-The compulsion or more accurately the desire to follow after her into that house was extraordinarily strong
swanky-each side, all of them identical. They had porches and pillars and four or five steps going up to their front doors, and it was obvious that once upon a time they had been very swanky residences. But now, even in the darkness, he could see that the paint was peeling from the woodwork on their doors and windows and that the handsome white facades were cracked and blotchy from neglect.
compelling-BED AND BREAKFAST, BED AND BREAKFAST. Each word was like a large black eye
staring at him through the glass, holding him, compelling him, forcing him to stay where he was and not to walk away from that house, and the next thing he knew, he was actually moving across from the window to the front door of the house, climbing the steps that led up to it, and reaching for the bell.
dotty-The old girl is slightly dotty, Billy told himself. But at five and sixpence a night, who cares about that? “I should’ve thought you’d be simply swamped with applicants,” he said politely.
dainty-The old girl is slightly dotty, Billy told himself.
tantalizing-There is nothing more tantalizing than a thing like this that lingers just outside the borders of one’s memory. He hated to give up.
-
linger-There is nothing more tantalizing than a thing like this that lingers just outside the borders of one’s memory. He hated to give up.
emanate-feel her eyes resting on his face, watching him over the rim of her teacup. Now and again, he caught a whiff of a peculiar smell that seemed to emanate directly from her person.
4.imagery
4a .But the air was deadly cold and the wind was like a flat blade of ice on his cheeks.
4a. He was wearing a new navy-blue overcoat, a new brown trilby hat, and a new brown suit, and he was feeling fine. He walked briskly down the street.
5.
I think the landlady has been distracting Billy from trying to find out those two names which he thinks he has read in the newspapers in recent times.
5a-“Famous,” she said, setting the tea tray down on the low table in front of the sofa. “Oh no, I don’t think they were famous. But they were incredibly handsome, both of them, I can promise you that. They were tall and young and handsome, my dear, just exactly like you.”
5b.
“You really shouldn’t bother,” Billy said. “I didn’t mean you to do anything like that.” He stood by the piano, watching her as she fussed about with the cups and saucers. He noticed that she had small, white, quickly moving hands and red fingernails.
6. the climax in the story is when Billy s going down and he sees only two people in the book which the landlady tells him to sign until the point to the point where she talks about the parrot and the dogs were preserved.
why?
Because it is building tensions that billy also has heard these names and it makes the author feel quite suspicious that these to boys are bad people or good people.

7. It makes me think that this story is going to be a scary story. The tea tasted faintly of bitter almonds, and he didn’t much care for it. I think roasted almonds means poison which is scary

8. I like the ending because of the suspicion in the end because for example
"Temple,” Billy said, “Gregory Temple. Excuse my asking, but haven’t there been any other
guests here except them in the last two or three years?" And it created a lot of hype so the reader will start reading faster and faster wanting to know more in the end
