How does the author use foreshadowing in English Creek?

In Part II, Dode Winthow's accident serves as an example of foreshadowing. The idea that alcohol weakens the ability of a man to face the dangers of nature and, consequently, leads to disaster is echoed on a larger scale in the character of Stanley Meixell. Since the tragedy in Stanley's story is still unknown to Jick, the wild bronco throwing Dode to the ground foreshadows the secret Jick has yet to unveil.
