One example of foreshadowing in "The Lottery" is the stones being readied for the stoning. When you read it the first time, you do not realize that the children are gathering stones to kill someone, you think that the kids are just playing with them.The kids bringing the stones to the town square is an example of foreshadowing. Another example of foreshadowing is the wheeling out of the black box. Because the box symbolizes death and fate you can foreshadow that something bad will occur. Also the sudden change of emotion in the crowd once the box is brought out shows that box gives fear to the people.
Nice job. I didn't think about the black box one.
