Post #2 Flashback

Flashback: A flashback occurs when the author tells a story that happened previous to the beginning of the current story. Flashbacks add information about characters and add to the depth of the character and tension of the plot. Flash backs are important because with out them knowledge of the character in the story is limited to just what happens in the story and their entire past is lost. Flash backs give reasons as to why characters make certain decisions.



Lost had about a million flashbacks (and eventually flash forwards and flash-sideways) throughout the series giving the characters great depth.
