2	* '''Straight''': In a book called ''AliceAndBob'', the author says "Alice and Bob were off to meet their friend Charles, who, unfortunately, will die in Chapter Five."
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** The book's first sentence is "Charles dies".
5	** The book lets you know early on that ''[[EverybodyDiesEnding everyone]]'' is going to die by the end of the story.
6	** The book tells you the details of Charles's death first.
7	** The book [[RunningGag constantly reminds you]] that Charles will die at one point.
8	* '''Downplayed''':

10	** The narration says that Charles "will go away" or "might die".
11	** The story says that a character will die, but it isn't specified as to which one.
12	** The story tells you early on that Charles will get injured.
13	* '''Justified''': If the narrator is a character, they can see the future and are warning you.
14	* '''Inverted''':
15	** "Alice and Bob were off to meet their friend Charles, who, I am glad to say, doesn't die, even though he appears dead once."
16	** The book is about TheUndead. The author lets you know that one character will be resurrected.
17	** The narrator somehow tells you that a character will be ''born'' later in the story.
18	* '''Subverted''':
19	** The narrator then says "Just joking."

22	* '''Double Subverted''':
23	** "… About them being friends."
24	** Charles actually dies later in the chapter.
25	* '''Parodied''':
26	** Charles dies before the author says [[CaptainObvious "Charles dies."]]
27	** The author attempts to invoke this... The author does not realize that Charles is immortal.
28	* '''Averted''': The narrator doesn't tell you who, if anyone, dies.
29	* '''Zig-zagged''': "Charles dies. Nah, just kidding. Although, you might never know."
30	* '''Enforced''': [[TonightSomeoneDies The writer wants to get the readers' attention]], or avoid shocking them with suddenly killing off Charles.
31	* '''Lampshaded''': The book is written in the first person from Alice's perspective and Bob hears her narrating and says "Wait, what?".
32	* '''Invoked''': The author knows that Charles will commit suicide, and the exact date when.
33	* '''Exploited''': One of Charle's enemies (or the BigBad) knows that Charles has something he wants and then makes a raid on Charle's house after Charles is dead.
34	* '''Defied''': Charles takes an immortality potion in order to prevent his death.
35	* '''Discussed''': "Charles- what?!"
36	* '''Conversed''': "The narrator told me Charles dies, and I don't like sad stories, so I won't read it."
37	* '''Played for Laughs''': "Alice and Bob were walking along and saw an ant, who, I am afraid, will get squished."
38	* '''Played for Drama''': Charles is Bob's brother.
