    Shirley Jackson’s use of foreshadowing kept the reader in suspense until the very end. We first encounter foreshadowing at the very beginning, “The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and grass was richly green.” (Jackson 443).

Another case of foreshadowing is when “Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example” (Jackson 443).…

    This is made clear by the lack of a smoking scene in Reitman’s production, as cigarettes are commonly associated with average Americans. There was, however, a scene with a cigar – ironically a more “elevated” form of nicotine consumption. Evident from the title, smoking plays a major aspect in the satire. Despite its aforementioned invisibility throughout the production, it is the subject matter for the film and clearly the main subject of Buckley’s satire. Satire does a fantastic job of juxtaposing the idiots smoking cigarettes with the big-money politicians and lobbyists who stand to benefit from its victims.…
