You are right chronological order is hard to grab people attention. Furthermore, if all the important facts are including at the beginning, the story gets shorter. I did not know it could be shorter, thank to know it. However, I do not agree Martini Glass story shape is going to be better this story. I was very interested how Tomlinson`s writing. I like his opening the story such a singular focus on the firefighters. It shows more detail at that moment, and I could feel more realistic and dramatic.
I believe that Maya Angelou used chronological pattern and in empathic order in the short story Guy. Maya Angelou takes her readers, though her life events in order. She basically takes us through the day when her son got into a car accident. But before she tells that story she gave us background information. Like what her and Guy life was before that event occurred. I also believe she wrote this because she wanted to share with her readers that she lived a normal life with her son and her son meant the world to her. But her life turned for the unexpected when her son was left paralyzed.

This author’s craft technique is very effective throughout the story. The technique is very effective because it helps the reader understand the events that occured easier then by putting it in a chronological order. If the author organized it chronologically it would be easier to mix up the people involved. In addition, the two storylines
It would not have been as interesting if the author started at the beginning of the story and kept going chronologically. This way it gives him more freedom on what important events to cover first. Had the author started from the beginning, it would have been apparent that the two men in the story were brothers and how their upbringing and background may have led Sonny to using drugs. By using this technique he can put the flashbacks where they belong and connect them to correct events. To conclude, Baldwin did attract the attention of the reader quickly and make sure they connect past events to what is going on currently by starting the story in the middle.
It becomes a little bit more deep and meaningful when put in perspective of the writer, something Dillard’s lacks. Having a backstory does tremendous gains in an excerpt talking about birds and definitely sorts the men from the boys.
Being a short story, Killings feels slightly rushed, and it seems to leave out some of the events
admirable diction, and his style is clear enough to understand with the story being in first
For every activity one does, time is very important for the activity. In stories, chronology is especially important for it helps the reader understand what is happening but also gains a message from it. Chronological order is part of the plot diagram in any story where the story begins which takes the reader to rising action. The author of Elephant, Slawomir Mrozek and the author of The Secret Lost in the Water, Roch Carrier showed how chronology is very important to the story. These authors used different themes to portray chronology. This can be demonstrated through the loss of faith, psychology of believing and through appearance vs reality. Therefore, variations of chronology have been shown.
Also, it develops children’s reading skill and give confidence of reading. For example, chronological order is the basic order in narrative order that helps the story to flow smoothly and easily by following the story time step by step. Even though most of the book order is chronological order they have their own way to tell the story which is called variation in narrative form, it is form that they helps easy to understand the story and character’s feeling, though and action. Then variations in representations of time, which is known as a flashback, it is form that tells past of the story and through these readers can know the background of the story or helps, remind that what the character was like before, also we could find what will happen in future events (Lukens et al, 2012, p. 141 – 144). Therefore, without these three types of narrative order, children might have difficulties to read and understand the story or in worse case they might lose the interest of reading a
All over the world many have gone through or are still going through the struggle of being in poverty. You don’t have to be homeless to be struggling, it could be just not have lights on in your home, past due rent, or maybe not having enough or anything at all to eat. Many have felt like just because they go through this that they will never be anything because they don’t have the resources to accomplish anything in life, and other people around you who doubt you can make you believe even more that you will never amount to anything in life. Christopher Wallace aka The Notorious B.I.G. or Biggie small’s song “Juicy”, released in 1994 from his Ready to Die album, selling over 607,000 copies is a great example of all of this. He tells this exact story through his song about how people used to doubt him and even goes on to tell about his life in the struggle and coming up from it.
The sequence was substantial because it was present time which was helpful to understand what was going on in the story. It also has a good amount of flashbacks, but only to parts that are important. A good example is one page 38 where it starts off as “Chapter Three:
I realized that the author did not order her information from first events to the end events but a quite random order, which is something I’ve never done because I believe it is just common sense to order information chronologically which I found surprising that the author would do that, she still managed to get her points across and have me understand but I think it would have been more efficient if the author had her information in chronological
This novel is very interesting and gets the reader involved. However, it isn't written very well. I think the structure is wrong because Roddy Doyle doesn't write the story in order of events, he writes it in a way that is hard to understand as he jumps from year to year and often decade to
The story starts off with Thomas recalling the night of the accident, this is a good opener it pulls the reader in and peaks their curiosity. It hits the pathos appeal hard because she is pulling us in, to find out what happened to her husband and how it affected her. As we read
As a kid, being there when my friend’s dad’s wallet got stolen and then going to the police station was much more exciting than it is looking back on it. When I realized how boring it is, I wanted to make the parts from the rising action to the end more appealing to read. By the time the action is supposed to pick up in my original anecdote, it really just plateaus. Adding fictional elements eliminated the plainness of what really happened and I decided to embellish everything that happened starting from when Gary left our spot at the pool to get us ice
