Write about a novel or short story you've read (or a movie if you have to) in which you learn something early on that seems minor but becomes very important later.
Okay, this is going to probably be one of the most juvenille things ever, but I like the movie. In "A Cinderella Story" we know at the beginning that she is given a book by her father who died that he has informed her is very important. Towards teh end when her wicked step-mother is trying to control her, the deed to the house and the estate falls out of the book. We find that she owns everything, and her step-mother has nothing.
In the book "The Secret Life of Bees," the main character has only a few posessions that belonged to her deceased mother. Among them is a paper with a black Madonna(virgin Mary)on it with the name of a town written on the back. The girl runs away to the town and sees the same image in a store on jars of honey. She goes to the home where the honey is made and meets 3 black sisters who take her in. She discovers that one of the women was her mother's nanny and she learns the truth about her past. Also, in the movie Bride Wars, at the beginning when the two main characters are getting along they are running and Kate Hudson asks why they can't run with ipods. Anne Hathaway responds that ipods are for people who can't deal with their own thoughts. Later in the movie, when the friends are fighting and Anne's fiance is acting like a jerk, we see Anne running by herself with an ipod in, signaling that she can no longer deal with her own thoughts.
