"Dog Star" Chronological Order of Flashback Paragraph

If the narrator told the story "Dog Star" in chronological order it would of made the story less interesting. When a story uses a Flashback it brings in the reader more because the reader wants to know what was the outcome of the situation. If this story did not have a flash back you would not understand the story or what the narrator was talking about. An example was when the narrator was lying in his bed and was on the moon and he felt an earthquake he wanted to tell Laika, the dog that is still on earth dead, to be quiet. If narrator did not tell the reader what happenend before that incident the reader would be clueless therefore this story needs the flashback to fully understand the story.
