Foreshadowing

• For example, in The Giver, Jonass experience of
  the change in the apple, which is contrasted with
  Ashers inability to perceive the change, is a
  foreshadowing that Jonas, despite all the
  emphasis on Sameness, is different.

Flashback

• An author may also go back to material that
  happened prior to the beginning of the story, or
  earlier in the plot sequence. This is called
  flashback.
• Flashbacks give the reader background material
  that is necessary for the understanding of the
  story.
