Question

Why would an author choose to employ a flashback to interrupt the chronological order of a narrative?

to make the story more interesting
to provide background information on something important
to allow the audience a break from the monotony of the normal story telling device to jump around and make a story confusing

Answer 1

To make the story more interesting

Answer 2

I would have to go with B) provide background information on something important because in most books/tv shows the author/producer adds flashbacks to help readers remember what happened and to add more information on a character/ or something. Its not C) or D) because that's wrong and I don't think its A) because flashbacks usually don't make stuff MORE interesting so it has to be B) to provide background information on something important.
