Flashback means: 1. A scene in a movie, novel, etc., set in a time earlier than the main story. 2. A sudden and disturbing vivid memory of an event in the past, typically as the result of psychological trauma or taking LSD. Have you read a book, when the main character recalls his memory. When he remembers his past and bring that scene, thats a flashback. Now, your question is asking you is define flashback and explain it in a complete sentence on how it effects plot structure, how does it effect you when reading flashbacks. A flashback is a tool used in writing to allow a character to explore events occuring at a different time. The reader follows the characters thoughts as they examine and earlier situation. This can be essential to the story in that, it can give needed background information. However, sometimes a flashback can upset the rhythm of the story and, therefore, have a negative effect. This is rare, most often a flashback serves a needed purpose by more fully examining a person or situation.SHOW FULL ANSWER

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire, mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
