The Veldt - Foreshadowing Graphic Organizer

Ray Bradbury uses foreshadowing to hint at the fate of Lydia and George Hadley. Look for hints/clues in the
text that Bradbury gives to indicate how George and Lydia will meet their demise in the veldt. Write the
sentence(s) that show foreshadowing (in quotation marks) in column one. Justify your answer (in detail) in
column two.

Rationale Justify your answer.

Example: "The vultures. You see, there are the

lions, far over, that way. Now they're on their
way to the water hole. They've just been eating,"
said Lydia. "I don't know what."

George and Lydia are discussing an animal they

see being eaten by the lions. They are confused
about what type of animal it is. Just before their
death, they learn that the animal the lions were
eating is, in fact, themselves.
