Today is St. Patty's Day. Thursday, March 17, 2011. Although most stories happen in chronological order, there are exceptions. Writers often use a device called a flashback. When you look at a PLOT LINE or a STORY MOUNTAIN you can sometimes see how it's organized in chronological time. But sometimes, the author will use an incident that happened years before to give their reader additional background information. The reader can then use the flashback to understand the plot/story better. I know it's not much to go on, but do your best to find them in your stories. Have fun thinking and reading.
Sincerely,
C
P.S. Happy St. Patty's day to ya!!
