Foreshadowing is the presentation of details, characters, or incidents in a narrative in such a way that later events are prepared for (or shadowed forth). Foreshadowing, says Paula LaRocque, can be a highly effective means of preparing the reader for what is to come..
Lyme disease is a bacterial illness that is spread by tick bites. Lyme disease can affect the skin, joints, heart, and the nervous system. Lyme disease occurs in phases, with the early phase beginning at the site of the tick bite with an expanding ring of redness.
Symptoms may come and go. Untreated, Lyme disease can spread to the brain, heart, and joints. Symptoms of early disseminated Lyme disease (stage 2) may occur weeks to months after the tick bite, and may include: 1  Numbness or pain in the nerve area. 2  Paralysis or weakness in the muscles of the face.
