Foreshadowing

pg 31 "I sit at this typerwriter and stare thorough my words and watch Kiowa sinking into the deep much of a shit fireld, or Curt Lemon hanging in pieces from a tree, and as i write about these things, the remembering is turned into a kind of rehappening."
I felt that this segment really seemed like foreshadowing- although it may not be a typical example. Generally I think foreshadowing as being revealed through clues and signs rather than blatent statements. This however stuck with me because it engaged me. This story really was throwing me off because it seems all over the place- hopping from one story or plot to the next. However, this sentence really caught my attention because i wanted to know what the author experienced during the war. And up until this point in the story i felt as if if had really been centered around Lt. Cross. This thought by O'Brien really drew my attention and gave me an idea of what to expect in the following pages of this novel. So, although it may not count as a classic example of foreshadowing, this segment really had the same effect- it prepared me for what was to come as well as kept me interested in the story.
