Point out two places where foreshadowing prepares us for the story's surprise ending.

Explanation
The mention of Pierre and Joseph growing old together foreshadows that their relationship is significant and will play a role in the story's ending.

Is the story told by
- A.
  
  A first person narrator
- B.
  
  Third person narrator
- C.
  
  Joseph
Correct Answer
B. Third person narrator

Explanation
The given answer, "third person narrator," suggests that the story is not being told from the perspective of a character within the story (first person narrator) nor from the perspective of Joseph specifically. Instead, it is being told by an external narrator who has a more objective view of the events and characters in the story. This means that the narrator is not a character in the story and has access to the thoughts, feelings, and actions of multiple characters, providing a broader perspective on the events unfolding.
