The caption I used for “A Rupee Earned,” is “A value of blazing lies...” This caption foreshadows the part in the text when the father says, “no, you are deceiving me, my son.” (Bulatkin 2). This is when the lazybones son lies to his father about earning a rupee that was given to him. The type of foreshadowing used gives a clue to the reader that something has been explicitly stated and should be kept in mind for upcoming events. From the caption, readers can start to predict that the story will evolve around dishonesty and possibly a life’s lesson. A “value” represents a rupee, as it was of great significance at the time, and “blazing lies” would represent the son’s dishonesty
