^ Yes. Yes! Yes again!!!

See, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. I tried using a similar argument (on a different website) and basically got bashed and told that I was "totally wrong" and that no one else would think something like this, because apparently books don't follow plot patterns and foreshadowing doesn't always lead into anything.

Not true.

Book definitely follow patterns. Otherwise, they just feel... off. It's not at all bad writing to follow a pattern like this. It's actually good writing, because it's what hooks the reader.

It's frusterating to be told that your argument is "totally wrong," so I just thought I'd let you know that it's totally not. It's actually a great argument.
