A Turn of Phrase

The problem with the title of this book is that it is an oxymoron. A chronicle is a series that come in a specific order (such as 1, 2, 3, 4...) and can not be altered and still make sense (2,78,6,100...). By saying the death is fore told, it is skipping ahead, taking information, and then bringing it back to an earlier point and continuing on (for example going to 1, 2, 77 [being the death in this example], 3, 4, 5...). It is an oxymoron because it breaks the idea of staying in chronological order. Another flaw within this title is that death is one single moment in time, and there isn't any way you can chronologically record a single moment, because its only one one moment where a chronicle is multiple moments in a certain order.
