Will mark brainiest refer to explorations in literature for a complete version of this narrative. reread this example of foreshadowing from "about russell" by rita williams-garcia. in his way russell held his ground, but from some angry, inarticulate place, deep within himself. rosalind and i didn’t know that his self-erected wall was how he protected himself. we just thought he was being a pain in the butt. which statement best explains how the author's use of foreshadowing affects the story? it creates mystery by hinting at the idea that maybe russell was not just "being a pain in the butt," but was instead trying to cope. it creates suspense by indicating that russell's ways of protecting himself might one day lead him to act violently or physically harm others. it creates humor by having the author and her sister think russell was trying be funny when that was actually his personality. it creates tension by showing that the author knew something was off about her brother from an early age, but never tried to him.
