To determine which plot structure the author used in the story, you would need to analyze how the events are presented.
- Foreshadowed indicates hints of future events that will occur in the story.
- Parallel suggests that two or more storylines are occurring at the same time and will intersect at crucial moments.
- Flashback refers to scenes from the past being interspersed within the current timeline of the story.
- Linear means the story follows a straightforward, chronological order without jumping around in time.
If the story progresses in a straight line from the beginning to the end without interruptions or jumps, it would be described as linear. If it contains hints for future events, it would be foreshadowed, and so on. You would need to evaluate the passage you referred to in order to accurately identify the structure.
