way. Go straight to your
Grandma's house and back.
Don't talk to any strangers
and watch out for the wolf
in the woods! Now get
along!"
Foreboding
• Foreshadowing of something bad
• The wolf went up to Little
Red Riding Hood and told
her that he knew a
shortcut. Little Red

strangers and watch out
for the wolf in the
woods!” But it was too
late, she had already
listened to the wolf’s
directions.
