On page sixteen of Lahiri's short story, Mr. Kapasi makes observations of the Das's children: "Mr. Kapasi noted that this boy was slightly paler than the other children" (16). What is "foreshadowing"? Why does the author focus on this moment and how does it foreshadow what may occur in the story? What did you first suspect when you read this line?

Foreshadowing is giving hints of the future in writing. When i read this i actually thought that he was albino but when he said slightly paler than i thought it could be something else. Saying the boy is paler can raise many eyebrows on why is this so significant.
