What is a good annotation to this ?

“Germany is a young and growing empire. She has a
worldwide commerce which is rapidly expanding, and to which the
legitimate ambition of patriotic Germans refuses to assign any bounds.
Germany must have a powerful fleet to protect that commerce and her
manifold interests in even the most distant seas.
Kaiser Wilhelm II (Girmany), 1908”

What effect is created by the plaque posted on the gate at the entrance to the family's home in nadine gordimer's "once upon a time"? the words written on the plaque offer readers a foreshadowing of the story's outcome without revealing the actual conclusion, the author's use of flashback allows readers to understand what is at the heart of the issues of encroachment in the suburban neighborhood the repetition of the words written on the plaque presents an oxymoron because readers already sense that the plaque has been ineffective in warding off intruders. the author introduces a paradox in which readers are presented with a warning notice when no actual infraction has taken place.
