Which excerpt from chapter 2 of Animal Farm is an example of foreshadowing? "They [Jones and his men] had never seen animals behave like this before, and this sudden uprising of creatures whom they were used to thrashing and maltreating just as they chose, frightened them almost out of their wits." "These three [Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer] had elaborated old Major's teachings into a complete system of thought, to which they gave the name of Animalism." "Now, as it turned out, the Rebellion was achieved much earlier and more easily than anyone had expected." "She [Mollie] had taken a piece of blue ribbon from Mrs. Jones's dressing-table, and was holding it against her shoulder and admiring herself in the glass in a very foolish manner."

The example of foreshadowing is excerpt is number one for some reasons. First, the attention paid to the bahavior of the animals. Second, the reaction of animals the humans used to illtreat. Third, the fear the action of the animals caused in Jones and his men. All these actions are foreshadowing the rebellion and the reorganization of the farm as it happens afterwards in the story.
