Imagine you're in a book club with Henry, Noah, and William. You're all reading Aria's novel. Suddenly, Noah asks, 'Hey guys, how does Aria define a flashback in her novel?'

Henry suggests, 'Is it a narrative structure where the author develops two or more simultaneous plots connected by character, event, and/or theme?'


William chimes in, 'Or is it a technique that involves a brief interruption in the plot that describes an earlier event or time to provide clarity, background, and context about an event currently taking place in the narrative? Like when Zoe's character suddenly remembers a past event crucial to the current situation.'


Noah ponders, 'Could it be a secondary story that adds complexity and depth and connects to the main plot in the contexts of setting, characters, or theme? Like how Abigail's character has a backstory that is revealed gradually.'
