I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of ‘’Life of a King’’ and Scorpions giving them an idea of what was eventually going to happen. In ‘’Life of a King’’, right before Peanut got shot Mr. Brown said to one of his students ‘No, this is the king. One mistake and it can be taken’. In Scorpions, at the beginning of the book it tells the reader that Jamal filled in for Randy as leader of the Scorpions. I never would have guessed Jamal would actually take the job or thought that Peanut would get shot.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of ‘’Life of a King’’ and Scorpions giving them an idea of what was eventually going to happen. In ‘’Life of a King’ Mr. Brown was explaining why you can only move the king on. This made me think, if you mess up one time your life, it can be taken. Peanut died because he didn’t understand the game (the game of life). In scorpions it said if Randy would’ve known someone was going to get shot, he probably wouldn’t have tagged alone. This is why foreshadowing played a big role in the stories.
I think that the people that readers Scorpions and viewers of Life of a King gives them an idea of what is going to happen next. When Eugene made the similes about chess and life it was hinting eventually it was going to be trouble with selling drugs. In Scorpions it was foreshadowing with Jamal`s brother what happens wit dealing with crime and drugs and the outcome of it. These foreshadows were warning them not to get involved.
I think that foreshadowing helped the viewers of Life of a King and the readers of Scorpions because the Life of a King gives you clues that something bad was about to happen,such as when Mr. Brown said that"the king is your life one mistake could end it". Then Peanut got shot right after Mr. Brown said that statement.In the beginning of Scorpions, Jamal tells Dwayne the kid that used to bully him,that he was the leader of the scorpions. Jamal is identified in the book as a good kid that did his work most of the time. So I kind of had a feeling Jamal will join the scorpions but never thought he would be the leader.
I think foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions giving the viewers and readers an idea or indication of what was eventually going to happen in the film and book.Such as in "Life of a King when Mr.Brown and some of his students were in the chess house before Peanut died one of the chess girls moved the king in the wrong spot,and Mr.Brown pointed out at her how if you make one mistake with your life your life can be taken.This gave me an indication that Peanut was going to die at that point of the film.Another thing is in the book Scorpions it mentioned how if Randy would've none someone was going to get shot when he was with Mack and Willie he would've never tagged along.This gave me an indication that Randy didn't think before he moved the king he just moved anywhere he wanted too.These are my explanations of why foreshadowing played a big role in the film and the story.
I believe that foreshadowing assisted with the readers of "Scorpions" and the viewers of "Life of a King" by given the people a little hint of what was going to happen next.For example,in chapter four of "Scorpions" you knew that something bad was about to happen when Tito and Jamal went to the Board-up Store because of the name first of all and just going to see Mack sounds like bad news.Another example, is how in the film "Life of a King" in the beginning when Cliffton pushed the teacher it looked like Cliffton was the bad student he didn't care about his grades, his actions,and even those men who kilt Peanut.But, all the bad things that Cliffton done has now all fallen back on him.
I think foreshadowing helped and guided the reader and viewer of "Life as a King. It gives the viewer a good undertstanding of what was going to happen next. In the part when Cliff took Peanut with him to sell drugs I knew that someone was going to get shot. In Scorpions I knew when Jamal was hanging in the halls, that he was going to get into trouble. Foreshadowing can help in many ways . Chailyn Robinson 6A
I think that the foreshadowing assisted to readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions by providing a image in the viewers and readers minds of what they think is going to happen next. For example, in " Life of a King", before Peanut was shot Mr.Brown made the statement that " No, this is the king. One mistake and it can be taken." So in other words Mr.Brown was saying one mistake a person makes then his or her life can be taken. In Scorpions, the book said that Jamal took his brother, Randy's place in the gang called Scorpions. The author foreshadowed there a little because they didn't exactly say Jamal took Randy's place, they first said one of the gang members NEEDED to talk to him.
The use of foreshadowing allowed me to predict what event was sure to come next in both "Life Of A King" and Scorpions. In the film "Life Of A King", Mr. Brown says the statement "This is your life. One mistake and it can be taken". Mr. Brown says this statement to the girl playing chess seconds before Peanut was shot and killed.In the book Scorpions, foreshadowing is used when the author says "He hadn't know then that Mack had been involved in the murder, and that Randy had been with him."This is showing that if Randy knew that this was going to happen, then he would not have went and been put in the position that he is in now.This is how the use of foreshadowing assisted me in the film "Life Of A King" and the story Scorpions.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of 'Life of a King" and Scorpions by giving them clues on what will happen next. In "Life of a King" before Peanut got shot Mr. Brown said "No, this is the king ,one mistake and it can be taken . So what he was saying was that if you don't think things through, a bad result comes after. In Scorpions Randy was involved in a stick-up and something went wrong in the plan and someone ended up getting shot. If Randy would have thought things out then he would have never been sent to Jail.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers & viewers of "Life of a King" & Scorpions because it gave the reader/viewer a preview of what will happen later on in the story. In the book Scorpions, when Jamal heard the old woman say, "Mack gonna' keep on talkin' and they gonna' put that murder right on him."This is a form of foreshadowing, because later on Mack was charged for armed robbery. In "Life of a King",Mr.Brown taught that life is like the board, and said that many of his students were like the pawns, all trying to protect the king who was Perry. Soon after, Peanut was shot and killed while selling drugs with Clifton.
I think that foreshadowing gives readers or watchers an advance hint about was gone to happen next in any book or movie. From the movie “Life Of A King “ Taheem’s best friend Peanut was shot and killed, but before it happen a vision was in Taheem’s head. The vision was about MR. Brown saying that the king is your life one mistake and it can be taken that made think that something bad was gone to happen. In the book “Scorpions” when they said that Willy was getting high that made me think that something bad was about to happen.
The use of foreshadowing assist viewers and readers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions by giving hints on what was to come in the stories. In "Life of a King",Clifton was used as a pawn in the game of life. In the game of chess,pawns are the most disposable pieces on the board. When Clifton went to jail he was disposed of when he called Perry (a king in the game) for help and Perry hung up on him.In Scorpions, I always thought Jamal would only join the Scorpions to find out if his brother was rightfully charged for a crime or did he take the fall like a scapegoat.
I think foreshadowing assist the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions by giving them a better look at the characters and giving them a idea of what is going to happen in the film or text. According to, the film in text one bad move can take your life away. Just like what happened to Peanut. He lost his king by going with Clifton to somewhere he had no business going. Just like in Scorpions Randy made a bad decision and is in jail. So I believe the film and text is trying to tell us to be more careful with our life.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of ‘’Life of a King’’ and Scorpions by giving them a chance to actually know what's going to happen next.In "Life of a King" mainly while Mr.Brown was trying to teach the children chess they kept making a wrong move and he kept explaining that "This is a king and one mistake it can be taken".So after that last time Peanut actually died because of that one mistake which was hanging with the wrong people. In the story "Scorpions" that is what happened to Jamal's brother Randy when he was robbing a man with his so called "friends". So without foreshadowing I would have never guessed Peanut would get shot.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and "Scorpions" giving them an idea of what was eventually going to happen. In "Life of a King" Eugene was explaining how the king can only move one space at a time and how it is your life and that i it could easily be taken.that is like if Tee had known peanut would have died he would have went or not have included peanut at all.In "Scorprions" if Jamal knew that he was going to get involved in so much mess then he would not have hung around the scorprions.
Foreshadowing assisted the viewers and readers in Scorpions and “Life of a King” because when Clifton told Peanut to come with him to the drug deal after he was scared to stay in the car alone, Mr. Brown said “The king is your life, one mistake and it could be taken away”. Mr. Brown also said “you must think before you move”, therefore it made me think that since Peanut was the closest to Mr. Brown that his life would be the one taken in the movie. Peanut did not think before he moved and he made that one mistake that caused him to die. In scorpions, Jamal and his friend went to a boarded up house that was selling drugs. When Jamal spoke to the boy at the window this made me think that Jamal was in the wrong place at the wrong time and should not have anything to do with the gang “Scorpions”. Another thing that made me think that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time was that his mother had told him a day before not to go see Mack and she demanded him not to go around the gang but he ignored her commands and did it anyway.
The use of foreshadowing in the film “Life of a King” and the book Scorpions helps assist the reader by guiding the reader to know what might happen next. In the film “Life of a King” there was a girl playing chess and Eugene stated right before Peanut was shot that if you make one wrong move its all over.This let the reader know something bad was going to happen because right after Eugene said this Peanut was shot. Also in the film “Life of a King” before Peanut was shot and killed he told Mr.Brown or Eugene that Tee came over his house and ate dinner every night at his house because his mom was an addict and did not cook. When Peanut was talking to Mr.Brown he also mentioned that Tee was just as scared as he was to be on the streets but he just did not show it but when Peanut died he showed his true emotions when Peanut died that showed that they had a very close friendship. In the book Scorpions, it was stated if Randy knew someone was going to get shot, he would have never tagged along with Mack and Willie. Randy should have thought before he went with Mack and Willie because the outcome caused him to serve jail time leaving his brother Jamal, his sister Sassy,and his mom at home by themselves.
I think the foreshadowing assisted the viewers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions gave them a visual idea what was going to happen. In "Life of a King" Peanut was pressured to do something he didn't want to do. In Scorpions Jamal had to run the Scorpions which he really didn't want to do. The relationship of both Scorpions and "Life of a King" have a common meaning. You could be in jail or dead.
I believe that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and "Scorpions" gave them the ability to predict what could happen next. During " Life of a King" I predicted something might happen when Clifton and T came to get Peanut. As soon as it happened I felt on edge because I could tell something would go down. Then when Peanut and Clifton got out the car and T envisioned what Mr. Brown was telling the girls at the chess house. As soon as Mr. Brown said " The King is your life don't lose your king." Then Peanut was shot. In Scorpions with Jamal you could tell that he didn't want to be a gang leader but the foreshadowing made it where you could predict that he would take the job so he could get the money for Randy's appeal. Then from there Jamal gets into more trouble and you can tell he would.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions by giving them an idea of what is going to happen next in the story. Like in "Life of a King" Mr Brown said to one of his students " No this is the king. One mistake and it can be taken". Mr Brown said that right before Peanut got shot. In Scorpions it said that he hadn't know then that Mack had been involved in the murder, and that Randy had been with him.It was saying that if Randy knew that someone was going to get killed he would have never went. This is how the use of foreshadowing helped me in "Life of a king" and Scorpions
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of"Life of a King",and Scorpions gave an visual idea of what would happen next,right before Peanut died he was forced to do something he didn't want to do,and in Scorpions Jamal had to take over the Scorpions which he didn't want to do at all.Both characters had one person that was warning them before it happen ,Peanuts was warned by Eugene ,and Jamal was warned by his mother.
In my opinion, the use of foreshadowing assists the viewers and readers of " Life of King" and "Scorpions" by having a good prediction of what will happen next. In the film "Life of a King", Clifton, "T", and Peanut were somewhere and Clifton said "Come on "T", Peanut you stay in the car." Peanut said "Alone". Then Clifton said something similar to You bring yo little .... After that it went back to Mr. Brown saying "If you make one mistake your King can be taken", referring to your life. As a result Peanut died. From me watching that whole film I can relate that to "Scorpions". In the book, "Scorpions", Jamal and Tito go to the crack house looking for Mack, which almost led them in a situation. Why would Mack, the leader of the Scorpions want to talk to Jamal? Mack must want something from him. What I am trying to say is that Mack is going to lead Jamal somewhere and Jamal is going to lead Tito somewhere, since Tito likes to hang around Jamal, even when he knows something isn't right.
I think the use of foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions giving them a guess of what is going to happen next. In Life of a King, Mr. Brown said watch your moves because one move can take your life. After that, Peanut got shot because he made the wrong move. In Scorpions, the beginning tells us that Jamal took over the Scorpions somehow. Foreshadowing can lead to good or bad actions later on
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and the viewers of "Life of a king" and Scorpions by letting the readers and viewers a hint or guess of what was going to happen next. For example in "Life of a King when Mr.Brown said that the queen protects the king that's how Mr.Brown and Peanut acted. What I mean by that Mr.Brown was the queen and Peanut was the king, because to me it's like Mr.Brown kind of protected Peanut. Just like in Scorpions how Jamal acted towards Tito. So sometime foreshadowing can be a good thing or bad.
In my opinion I think foreshadowing leads me up to visualize an upcoming event. For example in "Life of a king" Eugene said pawns is the line of defense,this gave me the foreshadow that Clifton is going to setup or go to jail because he was the first line of defense for Perry. In the book of Scorpions Randy told Jamal to go see Mack, and that gave me the foreshadow that something will go wrong because Mack is bad person in the story. Situations like this will assist me in the story giving me hints and clues of the outcome.
I think the use of foreshadowing assist the reader and veiwers of Life Of A King and Scorpions by letting them see into the future and what is going to happen to Clifton and Randy. When Mr.Brown said "These are the pawns their will be casualties". Clifton was a pawn in Perry's army and Randy was in a crew with Mack. They both went to jail for making the wrong move.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of ’Life of a King' and Scorpions giving them an idea of what was eventually going to happen. In ‘’Life of a King’ Eugene Brown was explaining why you can only move the king one place at a time. This made me think, if you mess up one time your life, it can be taken. Peanut died because he didn’t pay attention to the game of life. In scorpions it said if Randy would’ve known someone was going to get shot, he probably wouldn’t have went along. This is why foreshadowing played a big role in the stories.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of Life of a King and Scorpions giving them an idea of what will probably happen next. In life of a King Mr. Brown was talking talking about one move and your king can be taken. This made me think that life only gives you one chance. That's when peanut got shot. In Scorpions Jamal's brother Randy would not be in jail if he had been with the right people.
I think that foreshadowing was used in "Life as a King"and Scorpions because in the "Life of a King" before Peanut died they showed how one of the students made the wrong move while playing chess and Peanut made the wrong decision and got shot.In the book Scorpions when Jamal went to find Randy's Scorpions jackets it kind of gave me the idea that Jamal was going to join the the gang.That's why I think foreshadowing played such a big role.
To me the forshadow part was when Mr.Brown was explaining how if you make 1 mistake as the king your life can be taken then Peanut died.This was thee clue to what was about to happen. I wold have never guessed that Peanut was going to die.In scorpions a man tries to stop Jamal fom doing what he was about to do he explained how he used to be like him.Of course Jamal didn't listen then the next thing that happens is someone getting killed. The part where Jamal was meeting Anjel and Indian at the park and one of them tried to stab Jamal and Tito jumps in to stop it and someone gets killed.This is why the foreshadow is important it gives you clues.

I think that the movie "Life of a King" assisted foreshadowing ,by when Mr.Brown was explaining to the girl the importance of a king ,by how just one wrong move you could have your life taken away. The next thing you know Peanut died just when Mr.Brown was saying those words. In the book foreshadowing occured when Jamal said that maybe the pegions would like a piece of toast , so when he was about give them a piece of toast they stood their like statues. I believe that what foreshadowing means is that it gives more details or tells the reader or viewer whats going to happen next. Foreshadowing makes the movie / story more entertaing it goes into more details , and its a really good way to get readers/viewers more entertained with what they are watching or reading.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions by helping them imagine what was going to happen before it acually happened.In "Life of a King",just a couple of minutes before Peanut got shot Mr.Brown said that he really didn't want Peanut to go.Ibelieve that he knew or had a feeling somthing was going to happen. In Scorpions, before the fight started Tito didn't really want Jamal to fight Dwayne ,but Jamal didn'twant to be called a punk in the end Jamal's shirt got ripped then he thought he was going to get in trouble. I don't think thats why Tito didn't want him to fight that was a signal that something was about to happen.So that is the reason I think foreshadowing helps in this novel and film,

I think the foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" because it shows what would have happened later in the movie. In the movie "Life of a King" Peanut was with Mr.Brown doing chess and T and Cliff came and got him to do something that was not caused for. When Peanut got where they arrived Peanut had second thoughts about doing it but Cliff made him come with him. T was in the car thinking about what Mr.Brown said about the King is our life. After T finished thinking about it Peanut was killed where he should't have been. The meaning is one mistake and your king can be taken like in chess when you get in checkmate the game is all over. Just like Randy made a bad mistake and had to go to prison.
In my opinion, foreshadowing can give the reader an idea or clue of what could possibly happen in the future. When Mr.Brown taught his students, that “One Bad Move Can Get All Your Pieces Taken”, I felt like he was saying that one bad decision can effect your life. Peanut leaving the chess house and getting in the car with Cliffton, effected his life.If Peanut had of stayed at the chess house and listened to Mr.Brown, he might have still been alive. On the other hand, Tee in “Life Of A KIng”, listened to the lessons being taught and learned from Peanut and Mr. Brown’s mistakes. In the book Scorpions, Jamal is in the process of learning how tough life is in his community as a young African-American child. He has to learn what and what not to do based on Randy’s mistake. Foreshadowing can tell the reader that Jamal might really become a “Scorpion”. The clues were given when Jamal put on the jacket and admired how he looked as a future Scorpion.
The use of foreshadowing assist the viewers and readers of 'Life Of A King'and 'Scorpions'' because the stories had events that the viewers and readers expected.For example,in the film 'Life Of A King' when clitton,T,and peanut went to do a job,the viewers was expecting something bad to happen because they was doing something bad.The thing that happened was that peanut got shot and died.Also in the story 'Scorpions'Jamal got into a fight with another person in his class.The readers expected this to happen because they were kicking each other and playing too much in class.That is how foreshadowing assist the viewers and readers of 'Life Of A King'and 'Scorpions'.
In my opinion,I think that forshadowing had a big role in drawing in viewers and readers.In the movie and inthe story,they use this a lot.For example,in the movie''Life of a King''they started to pause the music right before Peanut got shot.This was very helpful for infering.Also in this movie,when Mr.B was supposed to go with Trina to see Marco get out of jail.When this was supposed to take place,they kept putting the camera on Trina. This gave lots of information to the viewers. In the book ''Scorpions'' I could infer that Jamal and Dwayne were going to fight because of what happened at school.All of the things that they did led up to this.This is the role that forshadowing had to do in the book and movie.
I beleive that the forshadowing told the readers what was going to happen in the movie 'Life of a King'and scorpions giving them clues and hints for what was going to happen The way that the authur wrote it was that each chapter had hints on what was going to happen next.
I think the foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" because it shows what would have happened later in the movie. In the movie "Life of a King" Peanut was with Mr.Brown doing chess and T and Cliff came and got him to do something that was not caused for. When Peanut got where they arrived Peanut had second thoughts about doing it but Cliff made him come with him. T was in the car thinking about what Mr.Brown said about the King is our life. After I finished thinking about it Peanut was killed where he should't have been. The meaning is one mistake and your king can be taken like in chess when you get in checkmate the game is all over. Just like Randy made a bad mistake and had to go to prison.
I think that foreshadowing told the people what was going to happen next in a movie or book. In Life of a King Mr. Brown only let the chess people move the king at a certain time. Also when the players got ready to move the king he would tell them that the king represents life one mistake and your life can be gone. Peanut died because he chose to be with the wrong people. Randy made the wrong decision and now he is in prison for killing somebody.
I believe foreshadowing lead the viewers and readers of Life of a King and Scorpions the idea of what was going to happen. In Life of a King before Peanut got shot I heard Mr. Browns voice in T's head he said, this is the King if one mistake it can be taken. In scorpions when Jamal was about to join the scorpions gang Mack asked Jamal did he want to take the gun and he said yes and took it. Both of these reasons lead me to the foreshadowing of Scorpions and Life of a King what was going to happen.
I think that the use foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of King" and Scorpions by helping them understand things or what's going to happen next. In the movie, the Cliffton and T are riding. Cliffton says he is going to rob somebody. This helps the reader understand later on why Peanut got shot. Peanut got shot because he went with Cliffton and T. In the book, Scorpions, it states that Jamal looks and tries on a Scorpions jacket. This hints the reader that Jamal is going to do something pertaining with the Scorpions. Which Jamal did later on. All of this supports the claim.
I think the use of foreshadowing assisted readers of Scorpions and watchers of "Life of a King" by letting them assume what was going to happen afterwards. When Mr.Brown said," This is a king. One mistake and it can be ruined.", right after that, Peanut got shot and killed. And in the book, Scorpions, it said that Jamal would join the Scorpions, but we didn't know when. But then in chapter seven, Jamal was walking with Mack and he asked if Jamal would take the job of being the leader of the Scorpions, and Jamal took the pitol from Mack to say yes.
The use of foreshadowing assists the readers and viewers of 'Life of a King" and Scorpions by giving them an idea of what's going to happen in the future. If "Life of a King" and Scorpions didn't have any foreshadowing readers and viewers wouldn't know what to expect in the story or movie. Foreshadowing helps readers and viewers understand what is going on in the story better. In "Life of a King" it foreshadows what happened to Peanut, if this wasn't in the movie viewers wouldn't know what was going on. Foreshadowing helps readers and viewers understand the movie or story better and it helps viewers and readers so they wont get confused during the movie or story. Foreshadowing helps readers and viewers get a better clarity of what is going on.
I think that the use of foreshadowing helped predict what would happen next.Peanut in life of a king had made a drop with Tyheme and Clifton .Gangs are dangerous so I could already ptedict some thing would have gone weong because that is how most movies play out.In Scorpions I could predict that Jamal would join the gang be ause he put theold Scorpions jacket of Macks and the next day he is given a unillegal job.Both stories really gave obvious clues.
I believe that the act of foreshadowing allowed the readers to predict what would happen next in the story.I state this because in "Life of a King", Tee was helping Cliffton sell drugs in didn't exactly enjoy having the job.Jamal was meant to be in the Scorpions because of his brother being sentenced to 15 years in jail and because of him telling Jamal he'd take over as the leader in the future, but he doesn't want to.Both of them live in a bad neighborhood and seem to have the fate of accomplishing something.The readers can also predict by the time format that no matter the age you can still get into bad things that are mainly unwanted.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King"and scorpions were giving of what eventually was going to happen. Like in life of a king you new that something was going to happen to peanut because he was the only one who really like Mr.Brown.Also he was the only one who went with Mr.Brown when he wasn't teaching detention.In scorpions you could tell that he was going to join the scorpions because he wanted to go see randy when he got out.Also you could tell when he trued on one of the scorpions jacket,and when he started getting into fights
I think that foreshadowing was shown in Scorpions and Life of a King because Jamal and Taheem were related because in Scorpions Jamal was trying to become a part of scorpions and Taheem became really good at chess.Another example is when Peanut was going with Cliffton and Taheem was trying to tell him to stay focus so that he wont make the wrong move.In Scorpions a voice in Jamal's head was telling him what to do so that he want look like a punk.
Foreshadowing assists the viewer and readers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions by the it giving the viewers and readers a simple hint of what's going to happen next in the next scene.For example,in Scorpions, the author tells the reader the thoughts of Jamal.From Jamal's thoughts,the reader can draw conclusion and say Jamal is going to follow his brother's footsteps,by joining the gang.Before Peanut's murder,Eugene is talking how if one mistake is made,it could be taken away.I believe that quote relates to life,so when Peanut made that mistake of going with Tyheem and Cliffton,his life was taken away.I believe in both scenes,we received a hint that a certain thing was happening next.
I think that the use of foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of King" and Scorpions by helping them understand things. In the movie, Cliffton and T were riding. Cliffton said he was going to rob somebody. This helps the reader understand later on why Peanut got shot. Peanut got shot because he went with Cliffton and T. In the book, Scorpions, it stated that Jamal looks and tries on a Scorpions jacket. This hints the reader that Jamal is going to do something sneaky with the Scorpions. Which Jamal did later on.
Foreshadowing assists the readers and viewers of "Life Of a King" and Scorpions by giving them ideas on what to predict on what was going to happen later on in the film or book. For example, in "Life of a King", Cliffton was the unprotagonist in the movie and when peanut went with Cliffton and Taheem , the reader can conclude what was going to happen because before that happened, Cliffton and Taheem were sitting the car. The, he pulled out a gun. Also, in the book Scorpions, Jamal tried on a scorpions jacket and he said that he was going to shoot Dwane, who bullied him in the seventh grade. In conclusion, this is how foreshadowing assisted the reader's and viewer's of "Life of a King" and Scorpions.

The, he pulled out a gun. Also, in the book Scorpions, Jamal tried on a scorpions jacket and he said that he was going to shoot Dwane, who bullied him in the seventh grade. In conclusion, this is how foreshadowing assisted the reader's and viewer's of "Life of a King" and Scorpions.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions giving them an idea of what was eventually going to happen. In ‘’Life of a King’’, before Peanut got shot Mr. Brown said to one of his students, "No, this is the king. One mistake and it can be taken." In "Scorpions" Jamal filled in as leader of the Scorpions while Randy was in jail. In the book, it stated that if Randy had known that someone would get shot he never would have done it. If Peanut never would have left the chess house he never would have died. Peanut and Jamal both made bad choices. This is why I say foreshadowing played a big role in the movie and story.

Foreshadowing assists the viewers and readers of “Life of A King’’ and Scorpions because it gives the readers and viewers an idea of what’s could happen next . For example in the movie “Life of a King” when Cliffton and Peanut were about to rob a man the movie started to foreshadow about what Mr.Eugine was saying about how the king can fall easily by one mistake.This relates to how Peanut and Cliffton were making a mistake and at any given moment one of them can be killed and fall like the king.(Relating chess to reality).Next in the movie there were gun shots were fired and Peanut had been killed . This is forshadowing because the moving is relating one situation to another situation in the movie and informing the viewer of what could happen next.I can conclude that whether in a book or movie foreshadowing can help prepare or inform the reader of what’s could happen next.

I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of ‘’Life of a King’’ and Scorpions giving them an idea of what was eventually going to happen. In ‘’Life of a King’’, right before Peanut got shot Mr. Brown said to one of his students ‘No, this is the king. One mistake and it can be taken’. In Scorpions, at the beginning of the book it tells the reader that Jamal filled in for Randy as leader of the Scorpions. I never would have guessed Jamal would actually take the job or thought that Peanut would get shot.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of ‘’Life of a King’’ and Scorpions giving them an idea of what was eventually going to happen. In ‘’Life of a King’ Mr. Brown was explaining why you can only move the king on. This made me think, if you mess up one time your life, it can be taken. Peanut died because he didn’t understand the game (the game of life). In scorpions it said if Randy would’ve known someone was going to get shot, he probably wouldn’t have tagged alone. This is why foreshadowing played a big role in the stories.
I think that the people that readers Scorpions and viewers of Life of a King gives them an idea of what is going to happen next. When Eugene made the similes about chess and life it was hinting eventually it was going to be trouble with selling drugs. In Scorpions it was foreshadowing with Jamal`s brother what happens wit dealing with crime and drugs and the outcome of it. These foreshadows were warning them not to get involved.
I think that foreshadowing helped the viewers of Life of a King and the readers of Scorpions because the Life of a King gives you clues that something bad was about to happen,such as when Mr. Brown said that"the king is your life one mistake could end it". Then Peanut got shot right after Mr. Brown said that statement.In the beginning of Scorpions, Jamal tells Dwayne the kid that used to bully him,that he was the leader of the scorpions. Jamal is identified in the book as a good kid that did his work most of the time. So I kind of had a feeling Jamal will join the scorpions but never thought he would be the leader.
I think foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions giving the viewers and readers an idea or indication of what was eventually going to happen in the film and book.Such as in "Life of a King when Mr.Brown and some of his students were in the chess house before Peanut died one of the chess girls moved the king in the wrong spot,and Mr.Brown pointed out at her how if you make one mistake with your life your life can be taken.This gave me an indication that Peanut was going to die at that point of the film.Another thing is in the book Scorpions it mentioned how if Randy would've none someone was going to get shot when he was with Mack and Willie he would've never tagged along.This gave me an indication that Randy didn't think before he moved the king he just moved anywhere he wanted too.These are my explanations of why foreshadowing played a big role in the film and the story.
I believe that foreshadowing assisted with the readers of "Scorpions" and the viewers of "Life of a King" by given the people a little hint of what was going to happen next.For example,in chapter four of "Scorpions" you knew that something bad was about to happen when Tito and Jamal went to the Board-up Store because of the name first of all and just going to see Mack sounds like bad news.Another example, is how in the film "Life of a King" in the beginning when Cliffton pushed the teacher it looked like Cliffton was the bad student he didn't care about his grades, his actions,and even those men who kilt Peanut.But, all the bad things that Cliffton done has now all fallen back on him.
I think foreshadowing helped and guided the reader and viewer of "Life as a King. It gives the viewer a good undertstanding of what was going to happen next. In the part when Cliff took Peanut with him to sell drugs I knew that someone was going to get shot. In Scorpions I knew when Jamal was hanging in the halls, that he was going to get into trouble. Foreshadowing can help in many ways . Chailyn Robinson 6A
I think that the foreshadowing assisted to readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions by providing a image in the viewers and readers minds of what they think is going to happen next. For example, in " Life of a King", before Peanut was shot Mr.Brown made the statement that " No, this is the king. One mistake and it can be taken." So in other words Mr.Brown was saying one mistake a person makes then his or her life can be taken. In Scorpions, the book said that Jamal took his brother, Randy's place in the gang called Scorpions. The author foreshadowed there a little because they didn't exactly say Jamal took Randy's place, they first said one of the gang members NEEDED to talk to him.
The use of foreshadowing allowed me to predict what event was sure to come next in both "Life Of A King" and Scorpions. In the film "Life Of A King", Mr. Brown says the statement "This is your life. One mistake and it can be taken". Mr. Brown says this statement to the girl playing chess seconds before Peanut was shot and killed.In the book Scorpions, foreshadowing is used when the author says "He hadn't know then that Mack had been involved in the murder, and that Randy had been with him."This is showing that if Randy knew that this was going to happen, then he would not have went and been put in the position that he is in now.This is how the use of foreshadowing assisted me in the film "Life Of A King" and the story Scorpions.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of 'Life of a King" and Scorpions by giving them clues on what will happen next. In "Life of a King" before Peanut got shot Mr. Brown said "No, this is the king ,one mistake and it can be taken . So what he was saying was that if you don't think things through, a bad result comes after. In Scorpions Randy was involved in a stick-up and something went wrong in the plan and someone ended up getting shot. If Randy would have thought things out then he would have never been sent to Jail.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers & viewers of "Life of a King" & Scorpions because it gave the reader/viewer a preview of what will happen later on in the story. In the book Scorpions, when Jamal heard the old woman say, "Mack gonna' keep on talkin' and they gonna' put that murder right on him."This is a form of foreshadowing, because later on Mack was charged for armed robbery. In "Life of a King",Mr.Brown taught that life is like the board, and said that many of his students were like the pawns, all trying to protect the king who was Perry. Soon after, Peanut was shot and killed while selling drugs with Clifton.
I think that foreshadowing gives readers or watchers an advance hint about was gone to happen next in any book or movie. From the movie “Life Of A King “ Taheem’s best friend Peanut was shot and killed, but before it happen a vision was in Taheem’s head. The vision was about MR. Brown saying that the king is your life one mistake and it can be taken that made think that something bad was gone to happen. In the book “Scorpions” when they said that Willy was getting high that made me think that something bad was about to happen.
The use of foreshadowing assist viewers and readers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions by giving hints on what was to come in the stories. In "Life of a King",Clifton was used as a pawn in the game of life. In the game of chess,pawns are the most disposable pieces on the board. When Clifton went to jail he was disposed of when he called Perry (a king in the game) for help and Perry hung up on him.In Scorpions, I always thought Jamal would only join the Scorpions to find out if his brother was rightfully charged for a crime or did he take the fall like a scapegoat.
I think foreshadowing assist the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions by giving them a better look at the characters and giving them a idea of what is going to happen in the film or text. According to, the film in text one bad move can take your life away. Just like what happened to Peanut. He lost his king by going with Clifton to somewhere he had no business going. Just like in Scorpions Randy made a bad decision and is in jail. So I believe the film and text is trying to tell us to be more careful with our life.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of ‘’Life of a King’’ and Scorpions by giving them a chance to actually know what's going to happen next.In "Life of a King" mainly while Mr.Brown was trying to teach the children chess they kept making a wrong move and he kept explaining that "This is a king and one mistake it can be taken".So after that last time Peanut actually died because of that one mistake which was hanging with the wrong people. In the story "Scorpions" that is what happened to Jamal's brother Randy when he was robbing a man with his so called "friends". So without foreshadowing I would have never guessed Peanut would get shot.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and "Scorpions" giving them an idea of what was eventually going to happen. In "Life of a King" Eugene was explaining how the king can only move one space at a time and how it is your life and that i it could easily be taken.that is like if Tee had known peanut would have died he would have went or not have included peanut at all.In "Scorprions" if Jamal knew that he was going to get involved in so much mess then he would not have hung around the scorprions.
Foreshadowing assisted the viewers and readers in Scorpions and “Life of a King” because when Clifton told Peanut to come with him to the drug deal after he was scared to stay in the car alone, Mr. Brown said “The king is your life, one mistake and it could be taken away”. Mr. Brown also said “you must think before you move”, therefore it made me think that since Peanut was the closest to Mr. Brown that his life would be the one taken in the movie. Peanut did not think before he moved and he made that one mistake that caused him to die. In scorpions, Jamal and his friend went to a boarded up house that was selling drugs. When Jamal spoke to the boy at the window this made me think that Jamal was in the wrong place at the wrong time and should not have anything to do with the gang “Scorpions”. Another thing that made me think that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time was that his mother had told him a day before not to go see Mack and she demanded him not to go around the gang but he ignored her commands and did it anyway.
The use of foreshadowing in the film “Life of a King” and the book Scorpions helps assist the reader by guiding the reader to know what might happen next. In the film “Life of a King” there was a girl playing chess and Eugene stated right before Peanut was shot that if you make one wrong move its all over.This let the reader know something bad was going to happen because right after Eugene said this Peanut was shot. Also in the film “Life of a King” before Peanut was shot and killed he told Mr.Brown or Eugene that Tee came over his house and ate dinner every night at his house because his mom was an addict and did not cook. When Peanut was talking to Mr.Brown he also mentioned that Tee was just as scared as he was to be on the streets but he just did not show it but when Peanut died he showed his true emotions when Peanut died that showed that they had a very close friendship. In the book Scorpions, it was stated if Randy knew someone was going to get shot, he would have never tagged along with Mack and Willie. Randy should have thought before he went with Mack and Willie because the outcome caused him to serve jail time leaving his brother Jamal, his sister Sassy,and his mom at home by themselves.
I think the foreshadowing assisted
the viewers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions gave them a visual idea what was going to happen. In "Life of a King" Peanut was pressured to do something he didn't want to do. In Scorpions Jamal had to run the Scorpions which he really didn't want to do.
The relationship of both Scorpions and "Life of a King" have a common meaning. You could be in jail or dead.
I believe that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and "Scorpions" gave them the ability to predict what could happen next. During " Life of a King" I predicted something might happen when Clifton and T came to get Peanut. As soon as it happened I felt on edge because I could tell something would go down. Then when Peanut and Clifton got out the car and T envisioned what Mr. Brown was telling the girls at the chess house. As soon as Mr. Brown said " The King is your life don't lose your king." Then Peanut was shot. In Scorpions with Jamal you could tell that he didn't want to be a gang leader but the foreshadowing made it where you could predict that he would take the job so he could get the money for Randy's appeal. Then from there Jamal gets into more trouble and you can tell he would.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions by giving them an idea of what is going to happen next in the story. Like in "Life of a King" Mr Brown said to one of his students " No this is the king. One mistake and it can be taken". Mr Brown said that right before Peanut got shot. In Scorpions it said that he hadn't know then that Mack had been involved in the murder, and that Randy had been with him.It was saying that if Randy knew that someone was going to get killed he would have never went. This is how the use of foreshadowing helped me in "Life of a king" and Scorpions
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of"Life of a King",and Scorpions gave an visual idea of what would happen next,right before Peanut died he was forced to do something he didn't want to do,and in Scorpions Jamal had to take over the Scorpions which he didn't want to do at all.Both characters had one person that was warning them before it happen ,Peanuts was warned by Eugene ,and Jamal was warned by his mother.
In my opinion, the use of foreshadowing assists the viewers and readers of " Life of King" and "Scorpions" by having a good prediction of what will happen next. In the film "Life of a King", Clifton, "T", and Peanut were somewhere and Clifton said "Come on "T", Peanut you stay in the car." Peanut said "Alone". Then Clifton said something similar to You bring yo little .... After that it went back to Mr. Brown saying "If you make one mistake your King can be taken", referring to your life. As a result Peanut died. From me watching that whole film I can relate that to "Scorpions". In the book, "Scorpions", Jamal and Tito go to the crack house looking for Mack, which almost led them in a situation. Why would Mack, the leader of the Scorpions want to talk to Jamal? Mack must want something from him. What I am trying to say is that Mack is going to lead Jamal somewhere and Jamal is going to lead Tito somewhere, since Tito likes to hang around Jamal, even when he knows something isn't right.
I think the use of foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions giving them a guess of what is going to happen next. In Life of a King, Mr. Brown said watch your moves because one move can take your life. After that, Peanut got shot because he made the wrong move. In Scorpions, the beginning tells us that Jamal took over the Scorpions somehow. Foreshadowing can lead to good or bad actions later on
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and the viewers of "Life of a king" and Scorpions by letting the readers and viewers a hint or guess of what was going to happen next. For example in "Life of a King when Mr.Brown said that the queen protects the king that's how Mr.Brown and Peanut acted. What I mean by that Mr.Brown was the queen and Peanut was the king, because to me it's like Mr.Brown kind of protected Peanut. Just like in Scorpions how Jamal acted towards Tito. So sometime foreshadowing can be a good thing or bad.
In my opinion I think foreshadowing leads me up to visualize an upcoming event. For example in "Life of a king" Eugene said pawns is the line of defense,this gave me the foreshadow that Clifton is going to setup or go to jail because he was the first line of defense for Perry. In the book of Scorpions Randy told Jamal to go see Mack, and that gave me the foreshadow that something will go wrong because Mack is bad person in the story. Situations like this will assist me in the story giving me hints and clues of the outcome.
I think the use of foreshadowing assist the reader and veiwers of Life Of A King and Scorpions by letting them see into the future and what is going to happen to Clifton and Randy. When Mr.Brown said "These are the pawns their will be casualties". Clifton was a pawn in Perry's army and Randy was in a crew with Mack. They both went to jail for making the wrong move.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of ’Life of a King' and Scorpions giving them an idea of what was eventually going to happen. In ‘’Life of a King’ Eugene Brown was explaining why you can only move the king one place at a time. This made me think, if you mess up one time your life, it can be taken. Peanut died because he didn’t pay attention to the game of life. In scorpions it said if Randy would’ve known someone was going to get shot, he probably wouldn’t have went along. This is why foreshadowing played a big role in the stories.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of Life of a King and Scorpions giving them an idea of what will probably happen next. In life of a King Mr. Brown was talking talking about one move and your king can be taken. This made me think that life only gives you one chance. That's when peanut got shot. In Scorpions Jamal's brother Randy would not be in jail if he had been with the right people.
I think that foreshadowing was used in
"Life as a King"and Scorpions because in the "Life of a King" before Peanut died they showed how one of the students made the wrong move while playing chess and Peanut made the wrong decision and got shot.In the book Scorpions when Jamal went to find Randy's Scorpions jackets it kind of gave me the idea that Jamal was going to join the the gang.That's why I think foreshadowing played such a big role.
To me the forshadow part was when Mr.Brown was explaining how if you make 1 mistake as the king your life can be taken then Peanut died.This was thee clue to what was about to happen. I wold have never guessed that Peanut was going to die.In scorpions a man tries to stop Jamal fom doing what he was about to do he explained how he used to be like him.Of course Jamal didn't listen then the next thing that happens is someone getting killed. The part where Jamal was meeting Anjel and Indian at the park and one of them tried to stab Jamal and Tito jumps in to stop it and someone gets killed.This is why the foreshadow is important it gives you clues.

I think that the movie "Life of a King" assisted foreshadowing ,by when Mr.Brown was explaining to the girl the importance of a king ,by how just one wrong move you could have your life taken away. The next thing you know Peanut died just when Mr.Brown was saying those words. In the book foreshadowing occured when Jamal said that maybe the pegions would like a piece of toast , so when he was about give them a piece of toast they stood their like statues. I believe that what foreshadowing means is that it gives more details or tells the reader or viewer whats going to happen next. Foreshadowing makes the movie / story more entertaing it goes into more details , and its a really good way to get readers/viewers more entertained with what they are watching or reading.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions by helping them imagine what was going to happen before it acually happened.In "Life of a King",just a couple of minutes before Peanut got shot Mr.Brown said that he really didn't want Peanut to go.Ibelieve that he knew or had a feeling somthing was going to happen. In Scorpions, before the fight started Tito didn't really want Jamal to fight Dwayne ,but Jamal didn'twant to be called a punk in the end Jamal's shirt got ripped then he thought he was going to get in trouble. I don't think thats why Tito didn't want him to fight that was a signal that something was about to happen.So that is the reason I think foreshadowing helps in this novel and film,

I think the foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" because it shows what would have happened later in the movie. In the movie "Life of a King" Peanut was with Mr.Brown doing chess and T and Cliff came and got him to do something that was not caused for. When Peanut got where they arrived Peanut had second thoughts about doing it but Cliff made him come with him. T was in the car thinking about what Mr.Brown said about the King is our life. After T finished thinking about it Peanut was killed where he should't have been. The meaning is one mistake and your king can be taken like in chess when you get in checkmate the game is all over. Just like Randy made a bad mistake and had to go to prison.
In my opinion, foreshadowing can give the reader an idea or clue of what could possibly happen in the future. When Mr.Brown taught his students, that “One Bad Move Can Get All Your Pieces Taken”, I felt like he was saying that one bad decision can effect your life. Peanut leaving the chess house and getting in the car with Cliffton, effected his life.If Peanut had of stayed at the chess house and listened to Mr.Brown, he might have still been alive. On the other hand, Tee in “Life Of A KIng”, listened to the lessons being taught and learned from Peanut and Mr. Brown’s mistakes. In the book Scorpions, Jamal is in the process of learning how tough life is in his community as a young African-American child. He has to learn what and what not to do based on Randy’s mistake. Foreshadowing can tell the reader that Jamal might really become a “Scorpion”. The clues were given when Jamal put on the jacket and admired how he looked as a future Scorpion.
The use of foreshadowing assist the viewers and readers of 'Life Of A King'and 'Scorpions'' because the stories had events that the viewers and readers expected.For example,in the film 'Life Of A King' when clitton,T,and peanut went to do a job,the viewers was expecting something bad to happen because they was doing something bad.The thing that happened was that peanut got shot and died.Also in the story 'Scorpions'Jamal got into a fight with another person in his class.The readers expected this to happen because they were kicking each other and playing too much in class.That is how foreshadowing assist the viewers and readers of 'Life Of A King'and 'Scorpions'.
In my opinion,I think that forshadowing had a big role in drawing in viewers and readers.In the movie and inthe story,they use this a lot.For example,in the movie''Life of a King''they started to pause the music right before Peanut got shot.This was very helpful for infering.Also in this movie,when Mr.B was supposed to go with Trina to see Marco get out of jail.When this was supposed to take place,they kept putting the camera on Trina. This gave lots of information to the viewers. In the book ''Scorpions'' I could infer that Jamal and Dwayne were going to fight because of what happened at school.All of the things that they did led up to this.This is the role that forshadowing had to do in the book and movie.
I beleive that the forshadowing told the readers what was going to happen in the movie 'Life of a King'and scorpions giving them clues and hints for what was going to happen The way that the authur wrote it was that each chapter had hints on what was going to happen next.
I think the foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" because it shows what would have happened later in the movie. In the movie "Life of a King" Peanut was with Mr.Brown doing chess and T and Cliff came and got him to do something that was not caused for. When Peanut got where they arrived Peanut had second thoughts about doing it but Cliff made him come with him. T was in the car thinking about what Mr.Brown said about the King is our life. After I finished thinking about it Peanut was killed where he should't have been. The meaning is one mistake and your king can be taken like in chess when you get in checkmate the game is all over. Just like Randy made a bad mistake and had to go to prison.
I think that foreshadowing told the people what was going to happen next in a movie or book. In Life of a King Mr. Brown only let the chess people move the king at a certain time. Also when the players got ready to move the king he would tell them that the king represents life one mistake and your life can be gone. Peanut died because he chose to be with the wrong people. Randy made the wrong decision and now he is in prison for killing somebody.
I believe foreshadowing lead the viewers and readers of Life of a King and Scorpions the idea of what was going to happen. In Life of a King before Peanut got shot I heard Mr. Browns voice in T's head he said, this is the King if one mistake it can be taken. In scorpions when Jamal was about to join the scorpions gang Mack asked Jamal did he want to take the gun and he said yes and took it. Both of these reasons lead me to the foreshadowing of Scorpions and Life of a King what was going to happen.
I think that the use foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of King" and Scorpions by helping them understand things or what's going to happen next. In the movie, the Cliffton and T are riding. Cliffton says he is going to rob somebody. This helps the reader understand later on why Peanut got shot. Peanut got shot because he went with Cliffton and T. In the book, Scorpions, it states that Jamal looks and tries on a Scorpions jacket. This hints the reader that Jamal is going to do something pertaining with the Scorpions. Which Jamal did later on. All of this supports the claim.
I agree with everybody because all of you are true.
I think the use of foreshadowing assisted readers of Scorpions and watchers of "Life of a King" by letting them assume what was going to happen afterwards. When Mr.Brown said," This is a king. One mistake and it can be ruined.", right after that, Peanut got shot and killed. And in the book, Scorpions, it said that Jamal would join the Scorpions, but we didn't know when. But then in chapter seven, Jamal was walking with Mack and he asked if Jamal would take the job of being the leader of the Scorpions, and Jamal took the pitol from Mack to say yes.
The use of foreshadowing assists the readers and viewers of 'Life of a King" and Scorpions by giving them an idea of what's going to happen in the future. If "Life of a King" and Scorpions didn't have any foreshadowing readers and viewers wouldn't know what to expect in the story or movie. Foreshadowing helps readers and viewers understand what is going on in the story better. In "Life of a King" it foreshadows what happened to Peanut, if this wasn't in the movie viewers wouldn't know what was going on. Foreshadowing helps readers and viewers understand the movie or story better and it helps viewers and readers so they wont get confused during the movie or story. Foreshadowing helps readers and viewers get a better clarity of what is going on.
I think that the use of foreshadowing helped predict what would happen next.Peanut in life of a king had made a drop with Tyheme and Clifton .Gangs are dangerous so I could already ptedict some thing would have gone weong because that is how most movies play out.In Scorpions I could predict that Jamal would join the gang be ause he put theold Scorpions jacket of Macks and the next day he is given a unillegal job.Both stories really gave obvious clues.
I believe that the act of foreshadowing allowed the readers to predict what would happen next in the story.I state this because in "Life of a King", Tee was helping Cliffton sell drugs in didn't exactly enjoy having the job.Jamal was meant to be in the Scorpions because of his brother being sentenced to 15 years in jail and because of him telling Jamal he'd take over as the leader in the future, but he doesn't want to.Both of them live in a bad neighborhood and seem to have the fate of accomplishing something.The readers can also predict by the time format that no matter the age you can still get into bad things that are mainly unwanted.
I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King"and scorpions were giving of what eventually was going to happen. Like in life of a king you new that something was going to happen to peanut because he was the only one who really like Mr.Brown.Also he was the only one who went with Mr.Brown when he wasn't teaching detention.In scorpions you could tell that he was going to join the scorpions because he wanted to go see randy when he got out.Also you could tell when he trued on one of the scorpions jacket,and when he started getting into fights
I think that foreshadowing was shown in Scorpions and Life of a King because Jamal and Taheem were related because in Scorpions Jamal was trying to become a part of scorpions and Taheem became really good at chess.Another example is when Peanut was going with Cliffton and Taheem was trying to tell him to stay focus so that he wont make the wrong move.In Scorpions a voice in Jamal's head was telling him what to do so that he want look like a punk.
Foreshadowing assists the viewer and readers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions by the it giving the viewers and readers a simple hint of what's going to happen next in the next scene.For example,in Scorpions, the author tells the reader the thoughts of Jamal.From Jamal's thoughts,the reader can draw conclusion and say Jamal is going to follow his brother's footsteps,by joining the gang.Before Peanut's murder,Eugene is talking how if one mistake is made,it could be taken away.I believe that quote relates to life,so when Peanut made that mistake of going with Tyheem and Cliffton,his life was taken away.I believe in both scenes,we received a hint that a certain thing was happening next.
I think that the use of foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of King" and Scorpions by helping them understand things. In the movie, Cliffton and T were riding. Cliffton said he was going to rob somebody. This helps the reader understand later on why Peanut got shot. Peanut got shot because he went with Cliffton and T. In the book, Scorpions, it stated that Jamal looks and tries on a Scorpions jacket. This hints the reader that Jamal is going to do something sneaky with the Scorpions. Which Jamal did later on.
Foreshadowing assists the readers and viewers of "Life Of a King" and Scorpions by giving them ideas on what to predict on what was going to happen later on in the film or book. For example, in "Life of a King", Cliffton was the unprotagonist in the movie and when peanut went with Cliffton and Taheem , the reader can conclude what was going to happen because before that happened, Cliffton and Taheem were sitting the car. The, he pulled out a gun. Also, in the book Scorpions, Jamal tried on a scorpions jacket and he said that he was going to shoot Dwane, who bullied him in the seventh grade. In conclusion, this is how foreshadowing assisted the reader's and viewer's of "Life of a King" and Scorpions.

I think that foreshadowing assisted the readers and viewers of "Life of a King" and Scorpions giving them an idea of what was eventually going to happen. In ‘’Life of a King’’, before Peanut got shot Mr. Brown said to one of his students, "No, this is the king. One mistake and it can be taken." In "Scorpions" Jamal filled in as leader of the Scorpions while Randy was in jail. In the book, it stated that if Randy had known that someone would get shot he never would have done it. If Peanut never would have left the chess house he never would have died. Peanut and Jamal both made bad choices. This is why I say foreshadowing played a big role in the movie and story.
I agree with Delbert Otali

How does the use of foreshadowing assist the viewers and readers of "Life of a King "and Scorpions? You must provide details from the text and movie to defend your claim.
Foreshadowing assists the viewers and readers of “Life of A
King’’ and Scorpions because it gives the readers and viewers
an idea of what’s could happen next . For example in the
movie “Life of a King” when Cliffton and Peanut were about to
rob a man the movie started to foreshadow about what
Mr.Eugine was saying about how the king can fall easily by one
mistake.This relates to how Peanut and Cliffton were making a
mistake and at any given moment one of them can be killed and fall like
the king.(Relating chess to reality).Next in the movie there were gun
shots were fired and Peanut had been killed . This is forshadowing
because the moving is relating one situation to another situation
in the movie and informing the viewer of what could happen next.I can
conclude that whether in a book or movie foreshadowing can help
prepare or inform the reader of what’s could happen next.
