1. All of the following quotes from "The Swimming Contest" are intended to foreshadow the future conflict between the narrator and Abdul-Karim EXCEPT

Question

Visualize an image representing a thematic interpretation of a story titled 'The Swimming Contest'. The image could reflect symbolic elements like a pool of water showing two distinct figures, indicative of the characters, the narrator, and Abdul-Karim engaged in a competition, with a vague tension pervading the scene. The ambiance should be set somewhere between peace and conflict, relaying the deep narrations from the story, and embodying the essence of the impending conflict. Please ensure no text is included in the image.

1. All of the following quotes from "The Swimming Contest" are intended to foreshadow the future conflict between the narrator and Abdul-Karim EXCEPT

A. "But it's not true that we're driving the Arabs out. We are out for peace, not war."*****
B. "Abdul-Karim is studying at the college of the Mufti, "Nahida's father told us." And he's in constant fear of your Haganah."
C. "Ahlan usahlan!" Abdul-Karim agreed. "Tomorrow morning, then. Now let's go back to the house and listen to some songs. We have a gramophone."
D. "If he ever manages to beat me here in the pool," Abdul-Karim said, "it. Will be very bad indeed. It will be bad for you too, Nahida. Bad for all of us."

(So basically I think their asking me to find a quote that has foreshadowing in it, but does not give the future conflict with the narrator and Abdul-Karim)

I think the answer might be either A or B because I don't see any future conflicts that could happen between the narrator or Abdul-Karim from these quotes but I'm not sure which one to go with. I'm thinking maybe it's B

Answer 8

You're welcome. Foreshadowing means a hint (or fear or prediction) of what might happen or will happen in the plot of the story, not just that we're going to do something now, like listen to songs or eat lunch, etc.

Answer 9

Okay so its definitely not "if he ever manages to beat me here in the pool.."

Answer 10

Yes that I know. But they want us to find something that does not have future conflict with Abdul-Karim or the narrator. So I'm confused. Are you saying that my two answers are wrong and option C is correct or are you giving me an example of a future event

I'm very confused
