Zusak has used foreshadowing. All throughout the novel the reader sees this. By Zusak doing this‚ the audience is able to stay engaged. Zusak gives little and big clues about what’s coming up‚ some are obvious and some are not. Zusak foreshadows early in the novel that Rudy will die. “He didn’t deserve to die the way he did.” (241) This leaves the reader with suspense and with that little bit of information; the audience is driven to continue reading. Through the use of foreshadowing‚ Zusak reveals

On page 41‚ Travis speaks saying‚ “Stay on the Path‚ Don’t go off it. I
