For the most part, the authors tell Jeanne’s story in the order in

which things happen. From time to time, however, they interrupt

the chronology for a flashback. A flashback is a break in a story to

look at something that happened at an earlier time. Find at least

three examples of flashbacks in this reading.

Which of the flashbacks you found provide an insight into a character or a situation? Which ask the reader to compare and contrast specific characters, settings, points of view, or events? Why else might
an author interrupt a story to tell the reader about an earlier event?
