A memory interrupts the flow of the story, but reveals something important about the character or plot. A wiser, often older, character shares his or her experience, wisdom, or lesson about life with the main character, hoping to guide him or her through a difficult decision. A time when the main character asks him or herself, or someone else, a tough question, on that doesn’t have an easy answer.
