Truman Capote uses foreshadowing in section 1 of In Cold Blood, The Last to See Them Alive, to subtly convey events that happen or may happen further along in the book. On page 13, Capote writes that, "Then, touching the brim of his cap, he headed for home and the day's work, unaware that it would be his last" (13). This is foreshadowing because it tells the reader that the person will be dead or unable to work before the next day of work.
