"Dog Star" Chronological Order of Flashback Paragraph
If the writer would not have used flashbacks I think the story would have been more effective. By adding flashbacks the writer is just making the story more stressful and confusing for the reader. Thats why I had trouble comprehending the story last night. for example when the narrirator flashed back to when he first got the puppy I lost track of what was happening in the story at the present time. I nmy opinion using chronological order in a story is better than using flashbacks because it keeps things simple and not so complicated. I would rather enjoy listening to a story than worrying about were I am at in the story. Flashbacks are better used in movies.
